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.

      That's usually the narrative when there aren't highly touted QBs or DEs. Off ball LB is the position this year. And there are some really good prospects. WRs are deep too. No generational level guys but very deep with solid options.  I would target CJ Allen in the 1st. I want a real ILB. Not a pass rusher that can move back. Not a safety that can move up. He's smart, tough, instinctive and durable. Dude had surgery on his meniscus and missed one game. One game. And... he's only played LB. Watching him control guards with his hands andsift through the garbage to get to the ball is refreshing. That's my guy in the 1st.

      It’s always a weak draft, next year is always better according to the draftniks. This is a weak draft for QB, WR, and TE. Theres only a few true LT. RB and DB are average. It’s a good class for the rest of the Oline, Dline, Edge, and LB.

      there is only a handful of blue chippers (Reece, Styles, Downs, Love, Bain) but overall its a pretty deep draft with solid players.  Really deep on the defensive side particularly lb's so that is in our favor.  Thats why I have been saying if styles is not there at 19 (he wont be) then try to pull a Rams/Falcons type deal and get another 2nd and first for next year.  IMO there really isnt much difference in quality of players at the back half of the first into the 2nd
