Draft Burrow #1 but...

[CJD]

Jefferson had a great combine where he put up a 40 time lower than anyone expected. He is currently being projected in the top 20 in many mock drafts.

However, the issue with Jefferson is that he played almost exclusively out of the slot in college and people have doubts about whether or not he can handle press coverage on the outside in the NFL.

For that reason, he has been labeled (in my opinion, prematurely) a slot only WR.

So maybe teams hold off on drafting him until the 2nd round so that they can draft the more versatile players like Tee Higgins, Laviska Shenault and Denzel Mims, all of whom project to outside receivers.

With that said, I am not sure if we want to draft Jefferson for that same exact reason. We already have a slot receiver signed to a long term contract in Tyler Boyd.

Drafting Jefferson does not replace either Green or Ross, both of whom are free agents next off season.

I would prefer, if we were to take a WR at 33, it be either Mims or Higgins, Aiyuk or Reagor. The former two would be AJ Green (X receiver) replacements and Reagor or Aiiyuk would be a nice Ross (Z receiver) replacement.
