Never argued this point. Fact is, though, Alshon was not a first round pick, and AJ Jenkins never should have been, and I doubt he would have been if not for Balkee. AJ also couldn't get seperation; his tape was littered with manufactured touches and free releases off the line of scrimmage. There are more ways to get separation than just speed as well, and Jenkins was not good with his hands at all from what I can remember. Also, Alshon Jeffery's production has been in steady decline since 2013, and hasnt put up WR1 numbers wince 2014. His rookie year was also not too impressive, partially due to his rawness coming out or college.
