Mecedes Lewis tid bit; Jaguars leading receiver poll

Interesting enough for a read from SI truth and rumor

Don't be surprised if the Jaguars run a lot of two tight-end sets this fall, and rookie tight end Marcedes Lewis tops the team in catches now that Jimmy Smith has retired. Lewis caught more passes in minicamp than the two wide receivers -- Reggie Williams and Matt Jones -- drafted by the Jags in the 2004 and '05 first rounds. Jones missed the final session Sunday because of a tight back.

Probably the only guy you don't have on there.....Wilford.

Yea, that's gotta be it......surely he isn't saying Wilford will be top 10 in the NFL, that would be preposterous.

I don't think it's out of the question for Wilford to be around 15-20 this year.

He only started in 9 games last year and racked up 681/7 and alot of that was with the backup QB in there.

He has great size, and decent speed from what I remember.

I believe he will easily outproduce Jones this year. I wouldn't be surprised the see the rookie TE be the second leading receiver for the JAGS.

Wilford will make the Top 10 next year. The Top 10 WRs to not make the overall Top 10.

What's your point CC? Are you saying that Wilford isn't good because he was ranked so low 2 years ago? Or smirking that Reggie Williams is on that list at 4?

Wilford will have a great year. Should rack up a ton of yards as a main target in the offense. But his TD total last year might be an abberation. More TDs than Smith? With so many less targets? He might equal last year's TD total, but I wouldn't expect him to go much above it.

I think Jones will have a good year mostly because of RZ opps. He probably will have more trouble breaking 1000 yds than he will racking up a healthy TD total.

A question to me is whether Jones' RZ propensity hurts Lewis or whether Lewis' introduction to the offense hurts Jones. My gut says Lewis will take time to get accustomed and shouldn't be targeted in redraft leagues.
