Official NFL Draft Day 1 Thread

With Reagor off the board... don't think Mims will make it to us either.

If Jefferson goes that is bad as well.

And the Saints and Ravens expected to go ILB


All of this would remind me of last year

[Rastak]

Spoiler!!!!!!!!!!

Don't look....








Vikings take Jefferson I just saw on Twitter.

[Bretsky]

shit

queens take jefferson

What channel are you watching ? I still haven't seen the pick on NFL Network

[HarveyWallbangers]

Now I'm worried Aiyuk will be gone--along with Jefferson, Mims, Jones, Murray, and Queen. Then, we'd take a RB, another CB, or one of the overrated DL.

Now you can flip back to Mims where you started at and honestly you convinced me to get watching much of his film

I like Mims a lot... my opinion of him hasn't changed. Would be very happy with him at 30

[beveaux1]

Saints need a WR, too. They only have one, like us.

[wist43]

I'm okay with Jefferson being gone... had him as a 2nd rounder

[pbmax]

That look of not joy on Rogers face is quite convincing.

[Rastak]

Saints need a WR, too. They only have one, like us.

Hopefully they grab a WR and Fulton slips.

Vikings take Justin Jefferson.

JUSTIN JEFFERSON
WR, LSU

CONF SEC - West JERSEY #2 CLASS Junior HT 6'3" DOB 06/16/1999 WT 192 lbs

PROS: Smooth operator and a true route technician. Varies his route tempo to keep corners guessing and there is plenty of variance to how he releases into his stem. Took full advantage of LSU’s passing game concepts in 2019 and showcased a wonderful ability to make adjustments on the fly and read leverage. Lethal on option routes. Mitts are generally strong and there are plenty of plucks outside of his frame. Does well to show his hands late and not tip the arrival of the ball. Body control is outstanding and he excels in contested situations. Tracks and adjusts with ease. Productive worker after the catch. Has operated both outside and from the slot. Competes hard as a blocker while also showcasing good technique with his hands and setting his base. Does well to bend his route stems to set up vertical cuts. Fairly fluid and smooth. Finds success in contested situations on account of his hands, body positioning and competitive toughness. The game slows down for him when the ball arrives.

CONS: Needs to maximize his route technique to separate down the field. Has some long steps into his breaks and he needs to find that blend of trying to be deceptive and not getting stuck on cuts. Footwork and ability to reduce his surface area when working against press coverage is sound but he has room to grow with how he deploys his hands to clear jams.

BEST TRAIT - Ball Skills

WORST TRAIT - Top of Routes

RED FLAGS - None

NFL COMP - Tyler Boyd

Justin Jefferson flashed an exciting skill set in 2018 and it fully materialized as part of LSU’s historic offense in 2019. On the same page with Joe Burrow, Jefferson led the country with 111 receptions, was second in receiving touchdowns (18) and third in receiving yards (1,540). Despite his brothers Jordan and Ricky being meaningful parts of the LSU program in previous years, Justin was a modest recruit out of high school. A versatile receiver, Jefferson has the skills to win from the slot and outside with appeal at all levels of the field. His best qualities are his route running, hands and ball skills. Jefferson is likely a No. 2 or 3 option in an NFL passing game but he should be productive if paired with the right quarterback and a system that accentuates his strengths.

Queens got a pair of rubies.

Dang you Ras.

[Bretsky]

Saints need a WR, too. They only have one, like us.

Nearly everybody has the Saints and Ravens grabbing the two ILB's

And with Tennessee losing Conklin most think they are going OL

Packers front office apparently buddies with Seattle; if we make a trade up IMO it will be three spots up to jump either the Ravens or Titans for maybe guys like Murry/Queen/Jones

[Joemailman]

Chargers are on the clock with pick from Patriots.

[beveaux1]

Hopefully they grab a WR and Fulton slips.

Oh, and they'd like a CB.

[Rastak]

Pats trade down!
