Alshon Jeffery next year?


Montsta

Recommended Posts

You guys all know way more about South Carolina football than I do, but Foxsports.com 'never too early' 2012 has us taking this guy 3rd overall next year.

I guess my question is whether or not he is a 'can't miss' WR ala AJ Green this year? My quick google said he is 6' 4" 230?? Wow. Would it be worth it to get maybe 5 wins and pick in the top 5 for this guy as this mock suggests? I'm not saying I want to win just five games but just wanted some insight to this guy.

I watch a lot of USC games b/c my girl is a fan and Alshon is the real deal. I haven't seen any team or player that could cover him in the SEC - and if he is covered he just jumps higher and catches it. He isn't a speedster, but he is tough to defend because of his size and has great hands.

No, as a Gamecock fan I can tell you, he's no Green. Green is one of those can't miss Calvin Johnson type WRs.

Alshon is a stud, and right up there near Green.

But not quite on the same level as him.

Very close though.

We'll see how much Alshon develops this season. Perhaps he could be by season's end. Watching him annihilate Alabama this past season was jolly good fun.

Besides, we won't be picking that high anyways.

with or without cam starting, we'll be winning about 7 games.

5 at best

I know this goes against the grain, but if we happen to lose a lot of games this upcoming year, I won't be too mad. We are setting up for the future and early picks will be very convenient. I don't foresee our win/loss record being any kind of tell tale sign of our future success.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
