O'Connell's history as a QB whisperer is more hype than reality

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Wood downgraded Jefferson to WR9 due to O'Connell's QB coaching track record.

Jason Wood ranks Justin Jefferson as WR9 versus consensus WR6 (ADP 6.0), a downgrade of 3 spots. Wood notes Jefferson is as talented as anyone at the position, but the consensus assumes Kevin O'Connell will turn Kyler Murray into an elite passer. However, Wood's detailed analysis of O'Connell's history as a QB whisperer reveals it is more hype than reality. Wood downgraded Jefferson from a first-round ranking early in the preseason after deeper analysis of the Vikings offense, O'Connell's track record, and Murray's flaws. Odds of adjusting ranked MEDIUM.
