JDBrocks Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 That's what I was saying about Jefferson last night. Very much revisionist history to say that everyone was thrilled and knew that he was going to become what he has. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, couldn't be happier about JJ being in MN. I dont understand valuing DBs but not WRs, but alrighty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I did look through that JJ thread, and I was moderately negative there as well, but certainly left open the possibility that he'd prove me wrong, which he did. Hopefully, Addison can do the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my whole point of the blast from the past is that I see a lot of similarities between JJ and Addison. Do I expect Addison to eventually be the best WR in the whole dang league? No. Do I expect him to be a souped up Robin to JJ's Batman? Absolutely. We are going to be happy he's a Viking. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much revisionist history to say that everyone was thrilled and knew that he was going to become what he has. I admit I wasn’t too thrilled, and had no idea that he’d be on an all-time great trajectory, but I knew that we were going to take a WR with the first pick of the 2020 draft. During this draft we had no clue what position we were going to draft with the first pick and for us to take Addison was more of a surprise in my opinion. That’s the main difference between the two scenarios. We took Addison when most people, including myself, didn’t expect a WR with the first pick of the draft.

Baldwin went to a bad KC team that really didn't develop him or anybody who wasn't a RB. In a better situation, I think he could have at minimum been a Laquon Treadwell level receiver (below average) than a major bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He so good at selling routes using his head thats one of the first things i noticed about him is his deceptive ability and which is where i think i got the JJ comparison. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
