There are WRs, CBs and RB galore in the late 1st this year.
Now I know all of my ranking will change with the all star games and the combine, so ignore what I am saying right now. But I am looking forward to us getting lucky and landing a guy like Jeffery when we pick.
BTW if we get lucky and go to the AFC championship or further then all bets are off as to who we pick.

Does Jeffrey return kicks or punts? I really think that anyone we draft needs to have that ability. The #2 WR does not get a ton of balls in our run first offense, and we play as many 2 and 3 TE sets as anyone in the NFL. So I really don't see any WR having a huge visible impact on offense unless we change the gameplan to get them the ball (and any gameplan where we run it less is bad for this team).
But if a guy has Dez Bryant/Patrick Peterson return skills, he can impact the game in a huge way on special teams, have a modest offensive impact, and still be worth the pick and be viewed as a contributor. Not to mention anyone we draft is likely the replacement to JJ, leaving us with nobody at PR and little at KR already since we stopped using Manning. Special teams is one of the areas are team can be upgraded the quickest and WR/KR/PR is the only special teams role that can be justified in the 1st round unless you are the raiders.
