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.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
