Right now everyone is coming off a combine high but he still have questions 1. his long speed 2. confined to the slot only in the NFL? 3. his health. best ability is availability and he hasn't really shown that. Number 2 on your list is the first thing I thought about with JSN as a prospect. Your other questions are valid as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People had questions about JJ because he was primarily only used out of the slot at LSU, it wasn’t because they questioned his size or speed that may limit his ability as an outside receiver. With Jaxon, there are some questions about his speed and his ability to separate on the outside. Personally, however, I’d draft him in a heart beat.

I just don't think the combine did much outside of solidify it for me. 1. He's not a burner, but he has plenty of speed. That long speed thing has been blown so far out of proportion I honestly do believe. He separation the year before last wasn't even a question. 2 years ago he was far and along the best receiver at Ohio St, ahead of Wilson and Olave. Most believed he was going to be a top 5 pick heading into this year. 2. He really didn't need to be thrown out on the outside, Olave and Wilson had the speed and with how good JSN was in the middle of the field, why not work all 3 of them like that? Last year he would have probably played more outside. 3. His health isn't too much of a concern to me. He missed most of the year with a Hammy, basically played it safe. They were going to work him back in and it wasn't right yet. Sounds like he was even healthy enough to play in the playoffs last year, but still probably made the right decision to play it safe. I honestly do get the questioning to him because he truly has never "proved" his doubts that were out there, but watching him outside of anything he did last year I just can't say I see a WR better than him in this draft.

SemperFeist Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 My comp for Jaxon Smith-Njigba is Adam Thielen. When I watch him play, his style reminds me of ‘18/‘19 Thielen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally we keep talking about that deep over the top guy, but I think I still would look to free agency or even later in the draft. Who knows if Nailor can develop year 2 the same progression as Osborn did, boom we got our beat you over the top guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just putting it out there why he could drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get receivers who know how to get open, and who are tough to cover. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Don’t get me wrong, I want speed. Speed kills. But that speed doesn’t have to be a receiver who excels at go routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means they still need to clear over 15m prior to the start of the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
