He recently Came up in a conversation I was having with one of my buddies. We were discussing his dynasty value and were both on opposite sides of The Discussion. He was just blown away with the fact that Lloyd has little value (dynasty wise) and kept telling me the guy was an elite talent and how hes been this good throughout his career, he has just never put it together before.I realize Highlight tapes are a terrible way to judge a player but he had me watch his highlights from last year.After watching them I was the one blown away. The guy just makes plays That he has have no business making for his size. Sometimes it looks like hes got springs for legs when he goes up for the ball. He isnt the most Imposing presence(Calvin, Andre ,etc) But IMO he has one of the best body control/ hands combos in the game. I dont claim to be a great Scout or think I am great at evaluating talent, But from my perspective this guy looks like an elite talent Who just started to add the work ethic part to his game.
Just from looking at this from the outside, I look at the facts:
-guy was drafted in the late 4th round In 2003 To the 49ers
-Stayed on there roster for 3 years never posting over 733 yards
-The Niners had enough of him so they traded him to the Redskins for two mid round picks and spends the next two years there
-the first year posting 23 catches for 365 yards in 15 games
-The second year He was hardly relevant Before breaking his collarbone( played in 8 games going for 2 catches for 14 yards in those games)
-After being cut by the redskins Lloyd gets picked up by the bears and spends a year with him posting 26 catches for 364 yards
-After not being resigned by the by the bears he gets picked up AGAIN...by the Broncos
-His first year with them He does just about nothing with an 8 catch for 117 yard season.
-Even though he does nothing the first year, the Broncos decide to keep him anyway
-You guys obviously know what happened last year with Lloyd having his first break out year(77 catches 1448 yards and 11 tds)
Looking at these facts I believe there is NO way in hell an average or slightly above average talent could stick around in the league for that long while accomplishing nothing. There had to be a reason that teams kept taking chances on this guy right? He was in the league for 7 years never posting over 733 yards and never getting over 48 catches. While, also having 5 of those 7 years being under 400 yards.
Im relatively new to fantasy football and dynasty leagues (This upcoming year will be my 3rd) So Lloyd has never really been on my radar before last week(even during the season I just kinda ignored him and assumed he was a one year wonder). My questions go out to people that were around since 2003 when he was drafted. What was he thought of at the time he was a rookie? Did he ever have a lot of value at any point in the last 7 years (prior to this year)?Do you think hes a one hit wonder or has finally gotten it? All thoughts and opinions on Lloyd are welcome I just wanna get a better read on this guy before I buy in all my leagues.

This is the tape I watched and I suggest you do too. Even if you dont like his dynasty value just watch an impressive few minutes of football.
