Does Floyd move ahead of Blackmon now in rookie drafts? (1 Viewer)

[eakfootball]

Jags are a bad spot fantasy wise for Blackmon. Is Floyd now the #1 dynasty rookie receiver?

 

[cstu]

I don't see anyone trading up to take Floyd.

Interesting. It really could be close depending upon where Floyd ends up now.

I don't think it's a bad spot long term. Teams can turn around quickly. He'll still get plenty of balls.

 

[Ketamine Dreams]

Blackmon's value took a huge hit...

 

[LargeMouthBass]

Damn I really didn't want him to go to Jacksonville. His career is over before it even began...

Pretty much. JAX is a tough spot. I'd pass on him this year, and hope to get him cheaper in 2013

 

[renesauz]

Had Floyd ahead of Blackomon anyway.

 

[G-King]

Floyd is going to Cards.

 

[KellysHeroes]

yeap

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Nope. Blackmon is the better talent. Remember talent doesn't change but situations do. If Gabbert sucks again, the Jags will go get another QB (Barkley?).

 

[Shawnky]

Floyd is going to Cards.

Didn't I read somewhere that Fitz approved of this?

 

[Hoot&HoLLer]

Blackmon will prove to be a reliable target and he will get the Jaguar's share of the receptions.

My board looks a lot like yours I'm thinking, but this might throw a monkey wrench in my schemes.

 

[cstu]

Fitz got what he wanted.

[loose circuits]

Certainly will see single coverage across from fitz

Which all comes back to... Why should someone spend a top 5 pick on an investment that wont return anything for three years. And this guy isn't considered an Elite prospect.

 

[Max Power]

They sure screwed STL too!

 

[Skeletore Eh]

both wr's land in bad situations IMO

 

[Shawnky]

Fitz got what he wanted.

Guess so.

 

[cobalt_27]

Sure did.

 

[Kleck]

Tough one. I hate Gabbert. Guy may be the biggest vag to to ever suit up in an NFL uniform. Floyd having Fitz as a mentor is a huge plus too.

 

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Floyd is a better receiver than Blackmon regardless of situation

 

[Buckna]

Fitz got what he wanted.

Yep. Floyd #2 behind 1 of the best WR's in the league with no QB. Can't see taking him ahead of Blackmon now.At least Jax signed Henne, Marshall still put good numbers in PPR with him.

 

[Tackling Dummies]

Stephen Hill!

 

[griff321]

Certainly will see single coverage across from fitz

It's a great thing for Fitz too. Makes their offense that much better and me happy for trading for Fitz a few days ago. Even though Floyd isn't going to a place where he's the top target, I think it's the best thing for his career.

 

[cstu]

Agreed, but what his upside being the #2 with the QB situation? I can see this helping to open things up for Fitz but I don't see huge numbers out of Floyd.

 

[Max Power]

Stephen Hill!

I wont fight you on this

 

[cstu]

Woah..

 

[jsharlan]

This really blows my hopes of getting Doug Martin with the 1.06 pick.

Truth.

 

[EBF]

I don't think Jax is a bad landing spot. Sure, their QB situation is bad, but they have no viable options in the passing game besides Blackmon. That equates to a lot of targets.

 

[Buck Stop]

I don't think Jax is a bad landing spot. Sure, their QB situation is bad, but they have no viable options in the passing game besides Blackmon. That equates to a lot of targets.

I'll take a #1 WR who was rated higher by most experts over a #2 WR who while still really good, has more risk, off the field issues.

We aren't going to see MJD running 340 times anymore.

 

[Buck Stop]

and you bring up another point. Teams will be focusing on stopping MJD, which should help the passing game open up. Will teams be focusing on the run when playing Arizona? I doubt it.

Yes, this. I never bought it, ever, ever.

This is what I call "I will never change my mind" and at the same time, "Uh Oh".

Gabbert level target though...

 

[Kleck]

You only need to rush 1 to get Gabbert in the fetal position.

 

[Buck Stop]

if Gabbert sucks this year as bad as he did last year, the Jags will have a top pick again next year and address the QB spot. They could also go the FA route right?

Agree with this, though I still like Floyd a lot. I have a feeling Blackmon could be a terrific bargain in rookie drafts.

Why did they pay all that money for Laurent then?

Robinson will be the #2 and IMO will be a viable target. Should help Blackmon.

Apparently ebf says he isn't a viable option? Nor is marcedes or Mike thomas

Saw that, but I disagree and think this offense could very well surprise. Laurent is better as a #2 WR, and Mike Thomas is better as a #3 IMO. They'll all help each other.

Laurent, Thomas and Marcedes are complementary players and are a good thing for Blackmon.

 

[az_prof]

I like Blackmon's situation better. I would rather have the #1 WR on a bad team than a #2 WR. If AZ had Kurt Warner (or equivalent) that would be different. Boldin put up good numbers back in the day, but Kolb is no Warner. Plus, AZ has a couple of other good veterans WRs. So, I don't think the opportunity will be there for Floyd to put up meaningful fantasy stats. I would rather have Blackmon.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

Blackmon's value took a hit no doubt. But his ceiling was always lower than Floyd anyway. He's a better route runner than Floyd, but Floyd is better at everything else than Blackmon. I agree with others, unless Blackmon had gone to a team with a good QB situation, I was pegging Floyd higher anyway.
