That's where I disagree. I still only see DeSean Jackson as a #2. I would have never have drafted him in the first round. Sure, the draft that year was weak in regards to receiver but this type of receiver doesn't warrant a first round pick. I would go possession (and maybe slot receiver) in the first but not the deep threat guy. While you always need someone to stretch the field, I just don't think they're as valuable as the others.

As a result, I expect Howie will have to explore this position next year in free agency or a trade. It's a shame they're wasting Wentz's prime years while Howie tries to figure out how to get him receivers. It's not like we haven't been down this road before.
Looking back at 2008, the concept of positional value is what led them to risk losing Desean Jackson to take JAG rotational DT (Travor Laws). There's no way in retrospect he's not a top 10-15 player in that draft.

Agholor's USC tape was mostly just good route running and decent speed against bad defenders. Reagor actually has film where he's jumping over taller guys and plucking the ball out of their hands, despite being 5'11.
And for the people blowing Lamb, he's an inferior athlete and Oklahoma seemed to do everything they could to get him off the LOS at the snap. They would either line him up inside on crossers, bubble screens, end arounds, etc. Just so many gimmicks to avoid press coverage that it makes me think he can't beat it. He's good with the ball in his hands, but not amazing.

Removed from the pain of seeing Lamb go to Dallas it’s an A for me. Jefferson was not a fit.

Yes, in college he ran away from people. In the pros, who knows? But look at the tape and tell me that he doesn't look small.

Reagor and DJax will certainly open the field up.

I'm intrigued. His change of direction ability seems unreal. Good adjustments while the ball's in the air too. But you're right, who knows.
