Quote:I was laughed at when I said we should take Jeffery at 7 if Blackmon was gone..

Jeffery was a tough evaluation. Everyone loved him as the #1 WR in the class after his sophomore season, and then he literally got fat and happy for his junior year and most jumped ship...including myself. The player he is right now is definitely not the one that was evaluated as a junior. He has worked hard and gotten in even better shape than he was his fantastic sophomore season. I worry that his body type leaves him on that razors edge where if he slips even a little on the conditioning he will fall right back to the average junior we watched before the draft.

 

To go off topic a little, this year's Jeffery type case study for me is Carlos Hyde in reverse. Last year he worked really hard and got in the best shape of his life and he was legit very good, and now people are evaluating him as Eddie Lacy 2.0. However, if you look at his junior year he was nothing more than a plodding, goal line/short yardage, LenDale White type. I think he is on the razors edge too. If he slips up with his conditioning just a little, or even if he just gets a small nagging injury, I can see him going from Eddie Lacy 2.0 to just another LenWhale White really quick. It's why I don't have him rated nearly as high as most.
