Report: Denver asking for a 1 (plus) for Jeudy

says otherwise.

Everyone is expecting a draft pick to produce right away and it doesn't happen often. We also draft 25 so you can remove the guys drafted before that. None of them produced more than Slayton.

want Slayton back. All I'm saying is don't expect rookies to come in and produce like a WR1 right away. It doesn't happen often and less often when you pick 25.

better than healthy players in this year's draft?

and in terms of production like i said at least 6 of them were better. some in fewer targets like dotson who put up 7 touchdowns in fewer targets. not his fault his team also had samuel and mclaurin.

i think we both feel the same way about slayton, dont want him back but if he's cheap it's fine. i have 0 concern about replacing him though.

slayton doesnt produce like a WR1 either so that's irrelevant.

christian watson, george pickens each went after 25.
burks and dotson each went pretty close to 25.

i'd be fine adding a player comparable to any of those 4 at 25 or in the 2nd round.

and on day 3 they have a bunch of picks and should probably double up. there were a bunch of wrs who contributed day 1 last year from day 3 - doubs, kyle phillips, shakur.

and by all accounts was not ready for his role. He certainly didn't produce like a WR1 and was 1 of 2 guys that produced like a WR2. All I'm saying is that expecting a rookie WR to produce like a WR1 is stupid and expecting them to produce like a WR2 is even risky.

did you watch christian watson at all? the guy is one of the most explosive skill players in football already. after missing time in the first half of the year he came back and scored 8 touchdowns in the second half (9 total on the year) - most were long ones. his first target in the nfl week 1 would have been another td on a 70 or 80 yard walk in, which he famously dropped, and that set the narrative, but it was one he'd completely reversed by the end of the year.

slayton has 7 touchdowns in his last 3 years combined.

and he was very raw. Yeah, he caught a lot of TD's, but that's not sustainable, especially when you don't have a HOF QB.

If Watson was on the Giants, he would have probably had half the production.

he had more tds on the year in his limited touches not thrown by rodgers (2 rushing tds and 1 63 yard td pass from love) than slayton had on the entire year with all his touches.
