He can absolutely put clown shoes on guys with his agility in the same way Toney does in space. This guy is so insanely good his own teammates that both went in the 1st round last year said he was better than them. And they're right. If you want to see the absolute best of JSN, go watch his record-setting game against Utah in the Rose Bowl. You won't even need to watch another game. He's quick. His routes are perfect. His hands are insane. There is NOT a better fit for Andy Reid in this draft than JSN. His issue is the hamstring. If not for that, he's the best WR in this draft and it's not especially close. If this team feels remotely good about that hamstring, I have no doubt they are going to try to get him. If he falls to 31, I expect they'd sprint to the podium and take the chance either way. I'm not just saying he's good, I'm saying it's not close. Call me a homer either way but he's special.

Hammy is the issue as you say, but could play in to our hands if it drops him, though not sure enough. My only real issue with JSN is he's played over 80% from the slot, and he's going to stay there most likely. A super reliable slot, imo, is worth a late 1st, except I wonder what it means for Moore. Not sure I'd let that stop me but still.
