Alshon Jeffery

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?

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.

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:

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.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
