i love steadman bailey also and would be stoked with that but i don't view him as a win only option in the slot...he's got the feet and the deceptive speed to do damage on the boundary...so i view him as more versatile...love those feet...i'd take them both swope and bailey and be damn happy i pulled it off
Which is kind of my point. If a guy can go inside and outside then he's worth a relatively high pick. A slot only guy isn't worth that to me. I think if you look around the league at slot only kinds of players (ie, don't play on the boundary and don't offer much if anything in the return game) you'll find they weren't drafted very high, if at all.
The only ones I could find are Harry Douglas, Earl Bennett and Early Doucet, who were all third rounders. Emmanuel Sanders has been used primarily as a slot guy but he had return ability coming out of SMU.
All three of those guys can help your team and make a few plays, but none of them are worth a third rounder. Not to me. I'm not looking to come out of this draft with an Earl Bennett for my third round pick.
