Likely Miami's WR1 from the get go, I'd say Parker's opportunity is pretty damn good as well.
Why would other people paying premium for Eagles affect your decision? Unless you have 1.07 also and think Parker might have been there I can't see why how other people draft affect who you take.

I'm assuming his line of thought is that if Agholor shows anything those Eagles fans will way overpay to pry him away.
I think people are really discounting Jordan Mathews here and the fact the eagles want to run the ball a ton.
Yes. This is exactly my line of thinking. My apologies if that wasn't clear. I knew the guy drafting at 1.06 was a huge eagles fan and wanted agholor but didn't want to chance being wrong and losing Parker so I didn't even try to trade down a spot.FreeBaGeL said:
Mathews and murray is a much bigger mouth to feed over miller, stills and landry. Plus Miami has the better qb while philly wants to run the ball most of the game.
I'm glad you guys feel that way about Parker. I certainly wouldn't mind instant production from him.
I can't speak for the folks that drafted him as in the drafts that I had a 1st round pick it was after 1.05 and he always gone by the time I picked.JPeso said:
I don't think most people drafting him at 1.5/1.6 were expecting him to have surgery in June.
I drafted him at 1.05. I knew he had the foot injury, but there was nothing on any lingering issues from it. He can obviously overcome it, but it would have been enough for me to take Agholor instead or trade down.JPeso said:
That's correct. Everyone knew about the screw. It's less than ideal that it needed some cleanup, and that he'll miss part of TC.
With all due respect, foot problems is one of the only things Parker and Julio have in common. Different plane of athletic ability thus owners will accept a hell of a lot more potential risk on a guy like Julio (or DT before that with the Achilles) than Parker.
I'm aware of how good Jones is, but you could be underrating Parker. Scouts have compared his physical and athletic tools, skill set and game to A.J. Green, who was taken ahead of Jones. Also to Jeffery, one of the better young WRs in the game. They are the same height. Jones is 10 lbs. heavier. Jones ran about a 4.4. Parker ran a 4.45. Jones had a 38.5" VJ, Parker 36.5" VJ. Jones was the second WR drafted in his class, at 1.6. Parker the third WR drafted at 1.14 (though I don't think it would have been a shock if the Rams had taken him at 1.10, some of the year-to-year differences in classes could be flukey and happenstance).
If OBJ didnt do what OBJ did, we'd be discussing Mike Evans w this exact description.
Jennings is one of the best value WRs right now, imo. I've nabbed him in round 16 in 2 MFL10 drafts so far. I think he's severely undervalued. He's basically a lock for 800/6 with potential for another 400 yards or so. He's played with crap at QB since leaving GB and will play this season as a 32 year old with the best QB he's had since Rodgers. 32 years old for a WR is not old. He knows the system and I really seeing him as the #1overall in MIA this season.Sabertooth said:
