Alshon Jeffery next year?

Nah, he'll be pumping gas in five years (for those who don't understand the reference... Lane Kiffin said that about Alshon after he lost the recruiting battle for him to Spurrier).

But seriously, the guy is a BALLplayer. I honestly don't think I remember him ever dropping a catchable ball...at all. He is by far the most physical receiver in the country. Gets great separation from a combination of deceptive speed/quickness and physicality. Then he can outjump any DB and make some incredible catches away from his body. And you think he's slow? Watch some of the tapes of him torching Arkansas in 2009 on a 80 yard go-route and Tennessee on a 70 yard slant last season. Or just watch the first USC-Auburn game from last season. Alshon torched the soon-to-be national champions for 197 yards and 2 TDs.

Too early to know what our needs will be next year. A star could have a career ending injury or Gettis could win the triple crown. You just never know till the season is nearing it's end.

Saw a 2012 mock with us taking him, it was as premature and stupid as this thread.

eh, not really, way too early mock drafts happen after the draft ends. it happened last year with Locker as the top pick and Newton not even heard of. i am ok with it because it let's you see where people make mistakes and shows me guys who were top prospects.

You guys all know way more about South Carolina football than I do, but Foxsports.com 'never too early' 2012 has us taking this guy 3rd overall next year.

I guess my question is whether or not he is a 'can't miss' WR ala AJ Green this year? My quick google said he is 6' 4" 230?? Wow. Would it be worth it to get maybe 5 wins and pick in the top 5 for this guy as this mock suggests? I'm not saying I want to win just five games but just wanted some insight to this guy.

Alshon is an awesome WR. I'd love for us to sign him, he would be an great addition to our WR core, especially in the red zone. His height and hands are great.
