Yeah said this earlier. In fact I probably call up Houston and see if they want No 1 for No 12, 34, 65 and their 2 1st rounders next year. Texans can then go favorite QB and Anderson while we have 3 first round picks next year plus 12, 34 and 65.

we can always use some assets to trade back up if somebody is falling.

I doubt it. WRs don't really slide like that over the last couple years. See treylon burks terrible combine and him still being drafted esrly

To be fair, Burks had a final year in college unlike JSN. I don't think not running the 40 will necessarily hurt Smith-Njigba at all, especially if he does all the other field work. If he doesn't do field work, that's a sign that he may not be 100%. There are physicals that will determine if he's healthy or not, but if he's not healthy....that's a really bad sign that would cause him to fall. If he is healthy and decides not to work out, that just adds to the feeling that he basically skipped out on last season to get ready for the draft, which I don't think is good either for the whole, "loves the game" thing like Flus talked about.

You're not wrong about the positional value and the fact that WRs don't slide. That comp with Burks, though, is a bit rough. Burks was a physical specimen that won people with his potential. As an aside, I was never high on him and caught some crap for it. Anyway, with JSN, he is pretty slow for a WR with an alleged 4.6 speed. He is coming off a year of injuries with little to no production and rumors that he could have come back and played but checked out for draft prep -- which is his prerogative, but the optics don't play well.

So, he is not a physical specimen by any stretch of the imagination. I'm forecasting his actual measured height to be around 5'11" once the college round up is removed. So, injuries, lack of production, lack of measurables, and the ability only play one position, which, to be frank, not all teams consider slot to be a starting position. I mean, I get it, in today's one back set, the slot is considered a starting position, but it can be filled by a flex TE, a motioning back, or a big WR trying to post up. He's not a gamebreaking WR. He's not. He's a glorified possession receiver: the reincarnation of Waddle.

So, though I believe he should be considered WR1 for this draft, I think he is going to be the only R1 talent to fall out of R1. I see Skoronski falling into the late teens, early 20's, but not out of the first. JSN? Yeah, he's going to drop. It may allow us to get him with what we can get from a trade back. Him falling is a very good thing for us.
