Jefferson 4.43 forty

I think he'll still be there at 24. He's more of a possession WR than a big play guy & he has average size. Might even be there in the early 2nd, but I can't see him falling much further than that.

Honestly, I think the Saints would prefer a different kind of WR than him. I wouldn't complain if we drafted him though. He's very solid.

Starting to change my mind about the first round. I figured we'd go OL but the more I think about it, we need OL guys we can rely on Day One and maybe that's best addressed in FA. I feel like we've been trying to solve the Receiver problem on the cheap for too long. Might be time to go (relatively) big and grab one at 24.

He led the entire NCAA in catches, was 2nd in touchdowns, and 3rd in yards. Terrace Marshall was much more of a possession receiver for LSU than the guy who just ran a 4.43 at the combine. Your post is embarrassing

Larry Fitzgerald ran like a 4.47 at his pro day and he might be the best possession receiver of all time. It’s not a knock. Fitz will be a first ballot hall of famer. Jefferson worked across the middle and in the intermediate area for the most part. Also known as a possession receiver. Don’t be so testy that Jefferson isn’t getting fitted for his gold jacket by everyone on the board.

I mean yea, he’s really good. Doesn’t change the fact that he wasn’t really a deep ball guy, which is what the other guy said and got jumped all over. He’s absolutely right. Not sure how y’all watched him all year and concluded that he isn’t a prototype possession receiver.

The best possession receiver in the game right now plays in New Orleans and y’all are acting like it’s disrespectful

Hell, it’s a good thing if you want him in NOLA. I’d be shocked if there’s a single team out there that has him higher than 4th on their WR board

but he also took a lot of long passes to the house

No he didn’t. He had 3 TDS over 50 yards in his career.

Nobody is questioning his hands, route running, & short/intermediate game.

I'm just looking at it from a NFL scouts point of view. Do you think he will be a legit deep threat/big play guy in the NFL?

That's what I'm questioning. I'm not saying he will or won't. I'm just saying the question that needs to be asked, b/c we already have THE BEST possession WR that thrives on short/intermediate routes. We need someone that can do what Michael Thomas can't do, b/c the safeties will cheat up & suffocate our passing game if there is no threat of a deep pass.

Pretty simple. If you think the answer is yes, then you take him.

Possession recovers don’t averaged near 14 yards a catch

In college they absolutely do. I mean look at the guys ahead of him on the board, all have better yards per reception.

He just tested and measured out of this world on the back of an amazingly productive season and he’s going to be the 4th receiver drafted at best. Why do you think that is? It’s because he’s not viewed as a WR1. Because his bread and butter is intermediate routes and not beating corners over the top. I’m not going to argue it with you anymore. You’re taking it as a personal insult when it’s all right there on tape. There’s a reason the other 3 are ahead of him now and will be on draft day. You’re describing a guy that would be the bonafide WR1 because you love LSU. He’s not though. He won’t be in April. He’s going to be a fantastic WR2 wherever he ends up. That’s a compliment. Tyler Boyd is making a nice career of it. Roddy White made a nice career of it. Emmanuel Sanders made a nice career of it. Don’t take it as a personal slight or insult. That’s always been what he is. Yesterday half this board had him as a second round pick. Did he change as a player between then and now? The tape has always been there
