Would the Jags make a move for Lelie? (1 Viewer)

What are your thoughts...Jags homers? Lelie does have upside

Would Denver really want to help out an AFC playoff team from last year?

Would the Jags think he's worth #1 money?

Personally, I think the Jags sit tight and use the two WRs they spent first rounders on.

There's absolutely no chance the Jaguars sign Ashley Lelie.

I really can't see Lelie as the #1 for any team at this point. The Jags do not need another #2 WR which Lelie is best suited for at this point.

Guys Lelie is a number 2 WR at best , and that s on any team even the Eagles.

He simply is nt good enough to be a number 1.

I am not a Jags homer or an NFL coach, but I would not want Ashley Lelie to be the guy I go to when I need a receiver to make a clutch catch. He has speed and is dangerous when he has the ball, but he was only targeted an average of 5.5 times per game last year.

He was ranked 45th in targets with 88 and caught just 47.7% of them. Rod Smith caught 67.5% from the same quarterback.

Of the 44 players that were targeted more than Lelie, only Burress (45.8%), Muhammad (47.1%), Brandon Lloyd (44.0%), Greg Lewis (45.7%) and McCareins (42.0%) had a lower percentage of receptions to targets. At least three of those players suffered from poor quarterback play.

For comparison, Wilford caught 41 of 74 (55.4%), Jones 36 of 69 (52.2%) and Williams 35 of 63 (55.6%).

Lelie is a possible game breaker, but he is not reliable. There is a reason Denver went out and traded for Javon Walker.

I am not saying a move for Lelie couldn't happen, but it wouldn't be my choice, and if I were a Jax fan I would not be hoping for it.

ETA: I realize that many of Lelie's targets would have been long passes and that would reduce the percentage, but it's still a very low figure.

What evidence do you have that Lelie would actually help any team? I agree on the rest, Jags already have Jones, Wilford, Williams, Lewis, a pretty decent backfield. They don't need Lelie.

I'd doubt it. The Jags have a burner already - Matt Jones.

Reggie, Matt and Ernest will be the receiver this year. Bump Leftwich down

Lelie wasn't the only underachieving WR on the block. Donte Stallworth was being shopped as well.

Still, I do not think either of these WRs would fit into Jax' plans. A veteran WR with a good work ethic (even if its as a #3 or 4) would be a better fit. Someone with experience has to lead these youngsters. With Ricky Proehl being dumped, he could be a mentor for a year as a #4.

Leftwich is young. THe WRs have 1 or 2 years experience; and F. Taylor may be on the way out.

If they thought Jimmy was gone, they should have made a stronger play for Moulds or even KeyShawn.

Got love the optimistism (wishful thinking) of Lelie keeper owners

Why would the Jags make Lelie their number one? Do you think they'd get a good tade offer for Wilford and Jones? Both would have to be gone for Lelie to be the #1 there

The Jags already have their version of Lelie his name is Reggie Williams.

Aspartme, what an AMAZING avatar!

Lelie is not a #1, he's the reincanation of Alvin Harper.

Teams can use him, but JAX doesn't need him.
