It's not if that is where teams will take him. If we traded down to 30 almost 100% he wouldn't make it there. Bills, Pats, Saints, Seahawks, Ravens, Packers all have WR needs. Plus if he is good, who cares if you take him at 21 or 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible all the teams you mentioned take WR with the exception of the Seahawks an Ravens. I would prefer Shenault over Jefferson, but Joe Burrow will be the #1 overall pick in large part due to Jefferson's prowess and ability. The pickings at #53 might actually be slim.

It lines up with what we do, cover your butt a little but with a cheap guy on a two year deal. Howie loves him some Mills I think the Jefferson pick come more from he was in that 4-6 space early in the draft process. And most people don’t change from those early boards. Lamb/Ruggs/Jeudy all ascended to potentially top 15, and you had Tee Higgins (who should’ve never been there) drop and Shenault’s injury became a confirmation bias that he is injury prone. So Jefferson is the last one who remains. I think it’s possible, but I don’t really get a sense that he’s the type of guy that makes it such an automatic assumption. The Keenan Allen comps I’ve seen recently are interesting, I loved Allen coming out. I want to go through and watch him again to see what wow-ness I missed.

TDTimes Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I'll be more than a bit ticked off if there is a delay in free agency; there's really no need for it. The only players who are being flown into the facilities and spending the day with different teams are the high-profile guys, and they can/do travel on private jets.

I think Reagor will get that bounce again too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really stand out on film, and he rarely faced the #1 cb playing in the slot, with Chase outside. Put Mims on that team in the slot, and I bet his numbers would be even better. Jefferson = Tyler Boyd. He's good, but I'm not trading a 1st for Tyler Boyd. Edited March 15, 2020 by Jeezla 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddox and LeBlanc are both good players so getting both out there make sense. I think Avonte playing FS makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Would be on board with Maddox moving to FS. Save some money, getting younger and more talented at the FS position, focus primarily on drafting that "do it all" type safety to take over for Malcolm in a couple years (McKinney, Wallace, Burgess), get LeBlanc the snaps he deserves, Manuel is well regarded for these types of transitions with a track record of success. At first I was skeptical, but now I want it to happen. It makes sense from many angles. Let's do it.

EaglesPeteC Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I feel like every year around this time we glorify the players who are out of range to godlike status, hype up lower players like they are just as good and turn our noses up at the players most likely to be in range.
