PFF grades 2020 1st rounders after 3 weeks

He looked great last week. Total bright spot for us so far with Dantzler showing promise. JJ could turn out to be the SOD if his mental game matches his physical promise. He still doesnt have his man muscles yet, he could be very scary for opposing D’s. 

It's early and I get the cautious optimism. 

   I never saw  Treadwell, in 5 seasons ,dominate like  JJ did Sunday, after 3 games.

 

JJ was a steal if he keeps it up.

Jefferson has swagger, like Diggs.....I think that's important in a competitive league like the NFL. Strong hands, good body control. Goes and snags the ball. I'm not going to crown him yet, but its very obviously encouraging that game on Sunday. 

Every once and awhile we draft someone #1 who I had a chance to watch in depth in college. Then I clap and look forward to seeing them in Purple. 

Moss, AD would fall into that column. 

jj too. This kid is gonna be really good - be glad he didnt go to GB is my motto. 

I remember being so pumped when the Eagles took Reagor because I really wanted Jefferson. Outside of Lamb and Jeudy, Jefferson was my 3rd favorite receiver in the draft and I knew he would be special. The guy is electric in many ways so keep throwing him the ball and let him make plays

I had him ahead of Lamb and Jeudy. I didn't up until the last couple of weeks before the draft, and then a couple of things about Lamb and Jeudy stood out to me as possible bust factors. The reason I liked JJ the most was because, like the others, he had traits to be exceptional, but unlike the others, he had almost zero bust factor. The only potential problem I saw was that he very seldom saw press in the slot, but he did the year before and did fine, so it was minimal. 

I didn't like Reagor and Ruggs at all. I was ecstatic that they went early. Too early to say what kind of pros these guys are going to be but our guy is looking good. 

Can someone please explain why we quit going to him after his 71yd TD...!?  :s

I didn't see the game, but I would imagine because the Titans started giving him more attention. But y'know what? That's what we want. That's what we need. We need defenses to focus on someone other than Thielen. He's still Cousins' go-to, and as long as he continues to get double teams, Cousins is going to struggle. Jefferson's breakout will ease that quite a bit. 

And besides, Thielen's on my fantasy team dammit.

Because it would only make sense to keep going at him. When things go right and then stop, that's usually the answer with this team

Treadwell?? OMG Jefferson could walk away from the game today and comfortably say he had a better NFL career than Treadwell.

Everything good in Maroon-land? I mean that sincerely. You’re a great poster here but I’ve noticed from your posts that you didn’t watch the past few games. Hope all is well!

Great reaction from Rick and MIke when the Eagles took NOT Justin Jefferson....

Spielman and Zimmer's reaction here is priceless: https://t.co/ULcCqPB7Iz

Nice find, MB. They looked very stoked about it. Sunday we saw why.

I was at the game and wondering the same. Seemed to be going to heavier packages in the 4th. SMH
