[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 870121, member: 9033"] Yes, Denzel Mims or Justin Jefferson would be better options than Van Jefferson, that's why you would be drafting Van Jefferson in the third. He doesn't have the ceiling but he has a MUCH higher floor than the upside guys you are talking about. Van Jefferson has already shown he has NFL worthy hands, route running, and the ability to fight press coverage; those are massively important skills. I'm not sure what you mean by "not a real physical player", no, he's not Michael Pittman (who I would LOVE for the Packers to draft) or Tee Higgins but he's by no means a "weak" player. Yes, he's older but that's actually probably helpful for a team that needs more immediate help since there's a very real chance that rookies won't get much practice before the season this year. Van Jefferson in the third would be a GREAT pick for the Packers. He's not the kind of WR that would be good for QBs like Cam Newton or Josh Allen (inaccurate, big arm) but he's basically the perfect kind of receiver for Rodgers. He gains separation running his routes and gets open for accurate passes. The primary downside might be that he's not the elite speed guy the Packers currently lack, but third round WRs don't usually check every box. [/QUOTE]
