[QUOTE=jetsfaneh;3528192]I love Roberts for the slot even more so than Ford. Roberts hands are vastly superior to Ford. Ford times well but it does not show up on tape the way you think it would. Roberts to me is the ideal slot receiver in this draft for the Jets. However I see him going in the 3rd round so we would need to trade up or down to grab him.[/QUOTE]

I think Roberts may have better hands. Ford is faster and is a good kick returner as well, depending on where the Jets are going with that responsibility. The reason why Roberts may be available in the fourth (my first choice of the three) is the level of competition he faced.
