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?

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
