Should we get Alshon Jeffrey in the 5th round??

Could be a decent tight end at this rate.

@RookieDraft Alshon Jeffery is training at St Vincents here in Indy. Sources say he's weighing 249lbs + running a 4.88 Forty

If he is close to those numbers in 2 weeks than even the fifth round is too high.

*googles Alshon Jeffery*

He is one of the top prospects for the 2012 NFL Draft, ranked by Mel Kiper, Jr. as the best wide receiver and number five player overall.

*googles Mel Kiper big board*

Jeffrey isn't even on it. Blackmon is 5th overall right now and #1 receiver.

*thinks megadeth needs to learn how to google* ;)

It doesn't matter where he is ranked now. If he runs a 4.8+ 40 during the combine he may not even get drafted. At least not as a WR, but maybe a Dallas Clark like tight end.

If I am a troll I am the same troll who about a month ago thought that Jeffery would be a better fit for the Panthers than Blackmon.

    • No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.
    • I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.
    • I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
