I will forgive the sins of our front office if we somehow grab chase next yr
Here he is, what an idiot


No he didn't. He took 99.9 % of his snaps in the slot this year, and struggled when he lined up outside in 2018

He's a slot guy, probably a really good one but there's not much to suggest he can play on the outside in the nfl

Jefferson struggles as an outside receiver. We need a receiver that can:

A) Beat press coverage outside the hash marks
B) Stretch the field

we'd be foolish to waste another first round pick on a slot receiver (Agholor, Freddie Mitchell)

If we want a slot receiver we could wait for Van Jefferson or KJ Hill

It's gotta be Mims or trade back & get Ruiz from Michigan

jefferson struggles as an outside receiver & thrives in the slot. Didn't fare well against press coverage on the outside. I don't want him, at all.

we need speed & size on the outside = Mims

He can play outside, sure, but he's not a very good outside receiver. He thrives in the slot. He won't thrive on the outside in the league playing against bump & run coverage. He thrived in the slot bc of his free releases. He doesn't do anything exceptional except get open against zones. Ja'Marr Chase has a better shot to be a more effective outside receiver than Jefferson.

Jefferson is more Jarvis Landry than OBJ.

And I don't want a slot receiver with our first round pick. Give me a vertical threat with size like Mims.

There's a reason he operated primarily out the slot this past season

I don't want him AT ALL

he will be solid but doesn't have future all-pro potential as an X receiver (the hardest position to play for receivers). He could be a Z receiver but we need an X.

I do know what I'm talking about. Stop being a homer. The kid is a good slot receiver but will struggle on the outside in the league. Any coach putting him on the outside is setting him up to fail.

and we already have Ertz, Goedert, Ward & JJAW who will get all the short to intermediate targets between the hashes.

unless Jefferson can magically develop into a vertical or outside the hashes physical threat, I'm good on him. Hope he goes before pick 20 so he's not even on the table for us.

no comment....:snoop: we be arguing all day in the Eagles thread...and I said it once and ill say it 1000 times....I dont want this cat - especially not in the first

Justin Jefferson = Jordan Matthews 2.0

no thank you
