The Case for WR Jeudy at #7

Jeudy, Jeudy Jeudy

Remember when Steve Smith was the only WR we had?  Opposing teams made life miserable for him, jamming him and doubling him the entire game.  Moore is in danger of that situation now.  With Samuel showing that he is not a true WR this year, there is nothing on the roster to force him into the slot--however, a weakness would become a glaring strength if Jeudy were to join the WR corps. 

In all probability, we are losing Olsen, a prime target in the passing game.  So, besides CMC out of the backfield, how dangerous are we?  Upgrade the OL if you want, but if the defense can cover your WRs with safeties and your TEs with LBs, blitzes can come from anywhere.  Imagine you are a defensive coordinator and you have to game plan against Moore and Jeudy with Samuel in the slot and CMC in the backfield.  You think twice before blitzing DBs.  You run more cover 2.  It opens the seam for Samuel and Thomas (TE) and CMC.

Jeudy is a pristine rounte runner who expertly runs every route on the tree.  He gets open.  He has speed and decent size, although he is a bit frail for a WR, but a year in the weight room and a weekend with Kelvin Benjamin will fix that. 

Jeudy is the player in this draft that teams will look back on in 4 years and wonder why they did not pick him. Better than the last two first round WRs to come from Bama, Jeudy was a standout in a stud fleet of WRs. He is as NFL-ready as any WR you will find. 

"His athleticism is off the charts. A quick-twitch athlete with top-notch burst, agility and straight-line speed, Jeudy is a challenge for anyone to cover based off of his raw athleticism alone. When he gets the ball in his hands, he is a threat to break free on nearly every play. He has stellar lateral agility in the open field, and his vision as a ball carrier allows him to exploit open running lanes in space.

That’s not even considering his elite route-running intelligence, as his understanding of how to create separation might be better than any wide out in the class. He does a great job of using hand techniques to separate from defensive backs, and he is able to attack leverage points based off of their alignment, stemming his routes at an elite level. Jeudy’s ability to sink and flip his hips is incredible, and it allows him to easily deceive cornerbacks and shed their coverage."---Draftwire

The man is a weapon.  With Moore, the WRs could become the best in the NFL.  You can find linemen in free agency, but you will not find such a polished football player who is ready to start day 1.

I still want a top O-lineman, give me Thomas or Wirfs. A great offensive Head Coach can scheme his WR open. The line has to be addressed for the health of Cam, once the line is solidified, then they should go find a WR. There is also some pretty good WR2 in FA this year.

See Seahawks, Seattle.  NFL Championship game in 2006.  Shut him down--doubled him all game and let Drew Carter go.  See 2010 and 2013 seasons--Smith had David Gettis as the #2 and Brandon Lafell--got doubled a lot.  in 2013, the team was 12-4 and smith had 4 tds, 64 catches for 745 yards.  In 2010, he had 500+ yards (Clausen).

When Smith was not doubled or give man under coverage with S help, he was unstoppable. 

Keep the comment in perspective and the purpose of the thread.

Could very well be the BPA when we pick. Only way I think he is the pick is if we address the Oline in FA. Otherwise I have a hard time believing we pass on Oline or Dline.

 

Jeudy would make our offense a problem though.

You do realize he won't make it 10 yards down the field before our QB is sacked right?

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
