Patriots Rumor Alec Pierce question

DoubleDeluxe said:

What is early?
Hurst/Lance are probably 3rd rounders.
Stribling/Sturdivant/Caldwell 4-5.
When you say early, are you suggesting Caldwell goes in the 2nd or 3rd?
I can't see that.

Hurst, Lance or Caldwell could sneak up to late round 2 if there is a run on receivers. I would guess one of them will go round 2. There is no telling how teams have them ranked. Teams could be in love with one of them and don’t want to miss out.

I have looked at many mocks/player/position rankings and the highest ranking I've see on Caldwell is about the 30th ranked WR, highest overall ranking of about 180.
Now his combine will entice and move him up, but I can't see him going from the 180th overall prospect and 30th WR, up to a top 64 spot.

He has leverage and it won’t surprise me if he gets it.

Ballard keeps talking like he's going to get him signed, but if so he's done a terrible job because the price tag has skyrocketed while he has let it drag on:

I’d be shocked if Pierce signed with the Colts.

Ballard is funny because he’s been there for like 7-8 years and they’ve won nothing. The biggest problem with them is Pittmans contract and whiffing on A-Rich.

Well he did give up 2 1sts and Mitchell for Sauce

Doubs will get what, 13-15 a year?
That is not #1 WR money, not even close.
That's #2 WR money nowadays.
Now if you sign him for more and think he's a number one, then you get yourself into trouble....and you should be fired!

If Alec Pearce and his 47 catches are going to get 26 million+, the Doubs will certainly be in that territory.

Not a chance.

I agree.
Then why Pierce?

DoubleDeluxe said:

Doubs has never topped 725 yds snd has a 12 yds/per career avg.
Pierce has increased his production with terrible QB play 3 years in a row, topping 1000 this year.
He has also lead the league in yds/rec over the past 2 years, averaging more than 10yds catch than Doubs.
Pierce can change coverage.
They are far from similar.

TommyD4207 said:

Yds/rec is awesome...if you have more than a career-high 47 catches.
He's just not worth anywhere near that money to me.

If they want Pierce, they need to offer 26 million or 27 million. If he lands in LA (almost said San Diego), hopefully we can land Doubs, and then draft someone like Brazell, who is bigger and faster than Pierce, it would take 31 probably because he won’t be there at 63. He might even be gone by 31. Ted Hurst & Jeff Caldwell could be available in the 3rd round, unless there is a huge run on receivers. Ja’Kobi Lane is another one, slightly slower than Pierce, but at 4.47 and 6’4” 200, is a good target. A sneaky pick would be Bryce Lance, who’s 6’3” and over 200 pounds and runs a 4.34, and a 41.5 inch vert, so pretty explosive.
