Why we picked JuJu

[feltdizz]

The same people who were staunchly opposed to drafting a QB because he wouldn't play right away are the same ones who wanted to draft a 5th WR. Our secondary is sparse of talent and a guy like Witherspoon or Moreau would have made me feel much better about our ability to cover this season.

JuJu will see the field in sub packages in the first game of the year. WTF are you smoking to think Ju Ju is our 5th best WR? That guy is ahead of Coates already

Right on the mark. Guys who want to find fault with JuJu are fooling themselves and reaching to find justification for their post-draft hysteria. IMO he is already pushing Coates down the depth chart. He will play a lot as a rookie and will have more catches than everyone except AB and Bryant and I'm not real confident about the latter.

This is why we picked him. Does Coates high point the ball and have good hands? Hell know.

This kid is going to be a problem for defenders. Great hands, fights for the ball and can run after the catch.

added 2015 as well.

Enjoy

The kid has some guns. Never realized how well he is put together. Looks like a slightly shorter version of Brandon Marshall.

Don't be surprised if Lynn Swann had some input on this pick.

Maybe Tee Martin as well (Juju's position coach at USC). The day before we ended up adding our next Tennessee Volunteer day 3 QB.

He is solid AND he catches the ball with his hands. His stiff arm is ridiculous too.

WR was our deepest position? Who? Please point them out? We have warm bodies but besides AB who else did we have available that was reliable?

Wheaton?
DHB?
Coates?

They were all hurt or dinged up enough to be ineffective.

Not saying the rest of these young guys are bums but they are young and haven't shown enough to convince me we are set at WR.

Even when healthy Coates is questionable.

Injuries are a part of the game. Wheaton had a few 750 yard seasons before this year. Coates made some big time plays before getting hurt. DHB is a playmaker, who doesn't get the opportunities for whatever reason. If/When Shazier goes down again in the near future... we are scary thin at ILB.

It looks like a few of our members on here are ready to pencil in "Juju" as our #2 going into training camp. If he ends of being this year's #2... it's a good pick for sure.

It is certainly no scarier than WR depth, prior to the draft...

It's amazing how quickly some go from WR position being a "Strength" of the team prior to the draft... to "It was scary" before we picked "Juju"...
I don't think anyone's been on board with the ILB corp being solid.. especially since the departure of Timmons.

Slot receiver.

Maybe.. they'll be adjusting a lot of the route combos if that's the case. I don't see him doing what Rogers did

IF our WR's all played like we imagine in paper its a strength.

unfortunately year after year our WR fails to live up to the hype.

I actually think our running game is our strength and we added another RB too.
