[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 871316, member: 12283"] The entire LSU offense catered to Jefferson. They put him in the slot with a two way go at all times. They used him as the Z, so he never had to face press coverage. They manufactured touches for him out of the backfield and on screens. He had the best accuracy % of targets of any receiver in this draft class. They got him matched on safeties and linebackers regularly. They generally schemed him away from the best corners on the opposition. In any offense or defense there are engines and there are trailers-- players that make the whole thing work, and players that fit in a role that's largely beneficial. Burrow, Chase, CEH, and the offensive line were engines for that offense. I would argue that Jefferson was a trailer, along with guys like Moss. To his credit, Jefferson has stellar ball skills and caught everything. But when I watch him play, I don't see anything else exceptional about his game. He doesn't consistently create separation, he doesn't stack defenders and threaten vertically, he isn't a real threat to consistent create after the catch. In most respects, he's just a guy to me. If Jefferson is there at #30, I hope the Packers pass. Maybe he will make me look really stupid for this in time, but I'm going to call this one how I see it. [/QUOTE]
