Poll: Jaguars "deep threat" situation in 2015
Don't have one, and don't need one.
Don't have one, but should sign one in FA.
Don't have one, but should draft one.
Marquis Lee will be our deep threat.
Justin Blackmon will be our deep threat
Allen Hurns will be our deep threat
Allen Robinson will be our deep threat
Don't have one, but there are no good options available.
We should make a trade.

Jaguar's deep threat

Lee's a pretty good deep threat but I think he'd be more consistently productive as a slot receiver. That role would help him take advantage of his agility and ability to create quick separation, plus he'd have the whole middle of the field to get YAC, which he is awesome at. I could see him as one of those weird slot WRs who still gets 800-900 yards a year.


Hurns is just a tall and decently fast guy who plucks the ball out of the sky but I see him as more of a lottery ticket/mismatch than a consistent weapon downfield. He wins on height advantage more than anything, which can be stopped with the right gameplanning and matchups in the NFL.


Robinson can do a bit of everything cause he's so good at making catches when he's guarded. But deep threat? Nah, I wanna see him go up between two guys on 3rd and 12 and rip the ball down from the clouds. That's what Robinson does, he was an excellent rebounder and dunker when he played basketball. He's Keenan McCardell.


Id be fine using Lee and Hurns alternately as deep threats in different packages (just as I'm fine with continuing to rotate Chris Clemons, Ryan Davis, Branch if he's healthy etc because they're very effective as a group, and each is good in diff situations.)


But if we really wanted to address it and have a guy who regularly can stretch defenses, and would have a connection with Blake Bortles right away....


Let's draft Breshad Perriman in the second round. That 4.26 dash is at least .20 better than any other WR on our roster and he made a ton of big plays with Blake in an NFL offense at UCF.


If Derron Smith, or Todd Gurley, or one of the excellent offensive linemen (Jake Fisher maybe? Cameron Erving? DJ Humphries?) fell to pick 36 those are the wiser choices because those guys fit a need. But I could see all five of them gone in round 1. Seriously. And the Bucs, Titans and Raiders all need those things too and pick ahead of us in round 2, so if that all happens... then give Blake his college weapon and let's start throwing bombs downfield because those two already know how to adjust to each other.
