What makes me question that is his career to date had been in a place where;s he's never been the #1 guy.  From Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins, AJ Green, and even Rondale More, he's had guys around him good enough to take the attention of the opposition's best defenders away from him.  I don't think he has that in Jacksonville yet, even if Even Engram is as good as we hope.  I wonder if he can be as effective with more attention being placed on him defensively.    From a skills perspective, he may well be better than our other WRs.  But whether from the outside or the slot, I don't think we have the guys around him to enable him to be productive.

Can't say I disagree but I think it's a risk the Jags had to take.

The Rockets didn't know if Harden was going to be elite without Westbrook and Durant. Bills took a chance that Diggs can be a true #1 without Thielan next to him. I don't think Kirk has reached his ceiling yet but I also don't think he's going to be an All-Pro even though his contract would lead you to believe he is. I'm really excited to see him in teal this season.
