Question about college WR prospects

How would you guys rate Alshon Jeffrey this year against AJ Green last year in terms of potential NFL prospects? Assuming we don't get Green this year (that dream of mine is on life support) we'll need 1 more WR sooner rather than later and FA WRs rarely work out. Few WRs thrive outside of the team that drafted them, by my memory (few exceptions - Moss in NE, TO in Philly/Dallas). So if we're picking in the 5-15 range next year (another assumption: we don't trade away next year's 1st) and we DON'T need a QB (yet another big assumption) and have to trade up to get one of the top 2 or 3, right now does Alshon Jeffrey seem like he'll be next year what Green or even Jones are this year?

Jeffery has a big rump and thunder thighs, makes him hard to bring down and helps him absorb contact. He's a jump ball kind of guy, but that's not to say he can't take off in a straight line. He looks like he's not moving that fast, but he's actually hauling ass, it's just that he has long strides. He's really fast for a guy of his large size, but I wouldn't compare him to Green. They don't move the same when running routes. Green is like a porche, and Jeffery is like a mustang.

I'm not asking about Jake Locker or any QBs. QBs rise and fall all the time. Other positions, not as much. Last year everyone knew Green and Jones were studs. They proved it further this year. I'm asking if anyone knows more about Jeffrey than me, more than just a few highlights and hearing his name mentioned among good receivers next year.

I kind of compare Jeffery to Brandon Marshall in that he is GREAT after the catch and can break a lot of tackles. This is not to say he can't make catches down field. This season I've seen him make a catch more than once 15+ yards down the field that made you say "How the fug did he do that?"

Jeffery will most likely be the first or second WR off the board next year if he comes out.

Cool, that's the kinda info I'm looking for. So what you're saying is that he's not that polished of a route runner yet? Hopefully that's something he can work on this coming year.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
