Say what u want stats and what not but if aj hadn't gone down lafell wouldn't have broken 750 imo. And that's a high number. My problem with a number 2 is u have to try and go up and over a defender to catch the ball. Watch lafell highlights his game tape. Never seen him once in 2016 go up over a defender to catch a ball. Also u were getting one on one coverage a lot. U should be able to beat that. Marvin Jones at least tried. Hell in the bills game right after green got hurt when Andy threw that pick lafell didn't even try to interrupt the pick. He has a lack of effort imo. That's why I would take a slot receiver as our number 2 over lafell. They will actually try to go up for the ball lafell will not. It's also why I want our number 9 pick to be Williams.

Mike Williams totally makes sense if you consider a WR2 to be someone that goes up and over a defender to get the ball. Mike Williams is a big target, tough, and can effectively high point the ball. But there's nothing that says a WR2 HAS to be a player that can climb the ladder to get the ball. Heck, AJ Green doesn't even do that as often as some of us would like to see. He typically continues to run his route and try to basket catch rather than turn to the ball and jump for it.

Also, perhaps you've seen a very rare clip of Kerley, but I sure have never seen it. At least not against anything other than a CB that's also very short. Kerley simply cannot high point the ball over a DB that is 6 ft or taller.
