If the Seahawks are interested in WR-Zay Jones and pick him in Round 1 or 2, are they getting the best value with their draft pick? IMO-The alternative to a Zay Jones early round pick is to use one of the 3-rd round comp picks on WR-Taywan Taylor. Here are the #'s on both. On the one hand, Jones is 3" taller but Taylor has better ypc & more consistent production & TD's. They seem to be close on workout #'s. If it were me picking, I'd take Taylor with one of the 3rd round comp picks and use the 2-nd round pick on DE, CB or DL. So, who's the better WR value to you guys?
