As for JJ, if for whatever reason he falls and he's the best player available on my draft board @ #24 ... he's my guy.

I’m not sure there’s a free agent WR worth signing. I guess Breshad Perriman is intriguing but the Bucs have about $90 mil in cap space so they’ll have no problem keeping him if they want.

I think we’re still going to end up pretty one-dimensional at WR because a rookie would take time to learn and carve out a role. That’s why I’m really high on Jefferson because he has some familiarity with our offense and that could make him productive sooner.

I'll take a superior route runner (see Mike Thomas/Deondre' Hopkins) over pure speed any day.

Jefferson was one of the first NFL WR prospects I posted here. Not because of the school but because of his production and ability. He's proven that he can play inside and outside but more importantly ... he can create separation & consistently win in man coverage.

Side note - I also like "Viska" Shenault from Colorado. He got good coaching here in High School (De Soto, TX), improved a lot in college and I now see him as a mixture between Taysom/Kamara. I see a "fit" here in NO.

Some early comparisons are to Cooper Kupp.

if he's your guy, he's your guy.

Quarterbacks are the exception...

In Kiper’s mock 2.0 he gives us Auburn CB Noah Igbinoghene.

As deep as the WR class is - that makes lots of sense as CB was definitely an area of need...

That said, there's no way Payton can't see what Jalen Reagor could do opposite Thomas...

Wouldn't spend a first round pick on a Guard, so, yeah, I can see CB or DL in the first round, if we stay there...
