Video of the Day: WR Prospect Alshon Jeffery

but I just can’t see the Bears draft a WR with their 1st pick and I don’t think they should. But it’s all just guessing until FA is done.

All he is is big. I don’t think he has the speed agility to be a primary receiver in the NFL. He’d do better in a place like N.E., Pit or maybe Arizona.

Saw a decent amount of SC games living in ‘Bama and he never seemed to disappoint, regardless of how bad his QB play was. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to snag him at 19. He’s a baller. Cutler to Jeffery has quite the ring to it IMO.

this kid is available at #19. I do think the Bears need to dispense with their speed only philosophy and just bring in talent. Besides, the Bears have plenty of speed guys on the offense anyway. There are enough big WRs in this draft that the Bears can get a FA WR and draft a big WR prospect in the 3rd round to give Cutler some weapons. I wouldn’t mind if the Bears went out and got a good TE. Speedy WRs are only truly useful if the Bears played on a fast surface regularly. I think the Bears need to get larger at WR and build an offense similar to the Pats, but with a good running game.

they should trade down, cause he isn’t worth the risk at #19. They need to desperately hit their first rounder this season. I’d prefer Floyd or Wright over Jeffrey.

They’re better route runners with better speed.

but he’s not very fast or agile. A good NFL corner would make him cry. He had some good blocking down field.

Olin Kreutz and Urlacher need their replacements. If LAc goes down the season is over. We have a guard playing center with his backup playing RG. With Konz we could have a solid line with some depth. Konz or Burfict is a must – we should even consider trading to get both.

Hes so strong

This guy has the most upside in recent years

The wr class this ear is so deep a primary wr could be found in the 1st or 2nd rounds

Rotoworld’s take on their most overrated prospects in the draft.

Simply put, Jeffery cannot separate. This was clear in his bowl game effort against Nebraska’s Alfonzo Dennard, who repeatedly jammed Jeffery at the line of scrimmage. Dennard completely overmatched Jeffery downfield, as the receiver created no space against Nebraska’s physical corner despite the Cornhuskers’ tendency to give South Carolina’s quarterback more than seven seconds to throw. Jeffery does not use his large frame effectively, either. Plenty of slow receivers make a living converting catches in traffic, but Jeffery loses way too many 50/50 balls for that to be the foundation of his game. Receivers with limited separation skills require confident, accurate quarterbacks willing to take chances in tight windows. 20 teams or more are without that kind of QB. Jeffery is the eighth best receiver in the draft, and a massive risk as a first-round pick.
