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?

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
