Jefferson went late 1st because people thought he was slot only. I think JSN is the most explosive WR in the draft, easily. Like you, I'd prefer a bigger guy who can play outside. But 6-4 guys with productivity & blazing speed don't last to 28th. Where we pick, a guy likely is missing something (size, speed, production vs top competition, production, route diversity). Boyd, Taylor, & Chase can all play in the slot. Then again, Highins, Chase, & Irwin can all play outside. We have no deep speed outside of Chase, and JSN has it. Boyd is out of contract next year, too. A year to figure out what JSN can do would help us make decisions going forward. And a year with all four would be hella-fun.
Are we sure we has deep speed? I admit it's not from my observation but I heard he got chased down by a LB last year. Sounds like quick, not fast, guy.
