Alshon Jeffery

[panther4life]

I am leaning towards him now assuming blackmon,Kalil, and Clairborne or all gone.

As of right now hes looking like the best value/immediate impact player at the 9th slot. Never even considered him during the season but as of right now he looks like the best pick to me.

Who yours favorite right now assuming Kalil,Clairborne, and Blackmon are gone?

What????? Jeffery's draft stock has plummeted and he's now like the 4th rated WR in this class and is expected to be a 2nd round pick.

Coples, Still or Reiff. If the team can trade back then that opens it up for Jenkings or Brown.

Panthers need more picks, reaching for Jeffery at #8/9 would be stupid. Trading down and acquiring a 3rd rounder would really help this team fufill its needs in the draft better.

[Lout]

Yes, Jeffery is now considered a 2nd round pick. I'd go with Still at #1. Take BPA in the 2nd between LB and CB.

[Ken]

Meh I don't really think that by the time we pick, there'll be any Top 10 quality defensive wise left on the board.

Trading back would be great but who'll want to trade with us? I keep seeing Cincinnati but I highly doubt that.

[Jackofalltrades]

I'd take Kirkpatrick before Still, he's the BPA and a bigger need.

[Delhommey]

See that long bomb Jeffery caught? See how he got run down before he could score?

Yeah, that's not top 10.

He gets run down a lot. He's a chain mover, not a deep threat. I'd take Floyd ahead of Jeffrey.

Jeffrey's stock just went up after that bowl performance, mainly the 'Hail Mary' at the end of the 1st round. He also put up some really good numbers before being thrown out early in the 1st (against a 'not great' Nebraska defense). Winning the MVP didn't hurt, either.

I'm a Carolina fan and have watched him all season. so here's my take on Jeffrey:

While the guy is considered a 'stud' because of his size and the way he catches anything thrown to him - he doesn't have 'break away' speed, he isn't a very good blocker, and he isn't a good route runner. He has relied on 'God-Given' talent and has not worked on the things that would make him better / the 'best' WR he could be, namely blocking and on his routes.

I wouldn't be devastated if Carolina drafted Jeffrey; however, If Blackmon, Claiborne, and Kalil are gone, what would I do?

Look at CB Dre Kirkpatrick, Alabama, OT Jonathon Martin, Stanford, DE Quinton Coples, UNC, DE Melvin Ingram, USC (Univ of SC), or even WR Michael Floyd, ND 1st. :cool:

[Ken]

^ I like Ingram but #9 is too high for him unless he blows up the combine -_-

Don't see us taking Floyd either.

[panther4life]

Yes, Jeffery is now considered a 2nd round pick. I'd go with Still at #1. Take BPA in the 2nd between LB and CB.

No way he falls to the 2nd. He may seem like a reach right now but I am not sold on anyone else that would be of value to us at the 8th/9th. I want a starter with our 1st and am not convinced the 2nd best cb, Tackle, or any defensive lineman in the entire draft have a better chance at becoming a starter day one. I think corner is currently our biggest need but I just don't see Kirkpatrick as being worthy, and none of the tackles outside of Kalil seem like a blue chip prospect either at this point. Obviously as the front office starts the processes all of this can change but as of right this second I'm liking Jeffrey but won't be heartbroken if we fall in love with a corner, tackle or defensive lineman.

[Panthro]

Said it before...we already have two top notch TE's on this team

[Jackofalltrades]

I wouldn't take any skill player other than Blackmon in the top 10. Just saying Floyd is a better prospect than AJ. I want Broyles.
