I know many had him potentially targetted or wanted him to be targetted to us but he did a virtual pro day. I see no way he slides to us but if he is there, you have to take his speed. Under a 4.3 twice at his VPD! Crazy! Not sure why he ran a 4.47 at the combine. Bad day at the officer, I guess.

If he slid to 49 Colbert would run a 4.3 to the podium...er, phone/computer...whatever.
 
This kid has everything save for height. He reminds me of a faster AB. I'm not sure about his route running tree, but he always seems to get separation whenever he wants.
 
rather go after Pittman or Claypool and Collin Jonson.
rnd 2 RB/LG
rnd 3 NT/WR
rnd 4 A WR/OT
 
Oh yeah, Reagor is definitely on my list at #49 if he is available. I doubt the 4.2 but he is plenty fast enough to add some serious value to a young WR corps like ours.

I trust that 4.22 like a trust a tinder date that says she’s on birth control.

Is that school known to have a slow or fast track?

I know the Steelers looked at him so there has to be a level of interest.

I will zoom in on some game film tonight after work...
 
Reagor and Hamlar are both very much on my radar because we need speed on offense.
 
According to Dave Te' Thomas, he is just like Antonio Brown...in the locker room. Hard pass.

It looked like a grass field but I didn't look real close. If it's grass, that is even more impressive.

There’s no way to control any variations. Typically scouts measure the track to make sure it is really 40 yards, did they clock it a .1-.2 early? I honestly feel he’s a 4.4-4.5 guy which is plenty fast.

Doesn't look like much of a blocker. Like the hands. Little green around the edges as far as route running. Still have more film to watch. So far I am seeing third round but maybe that changes with more film. I can see see some of that acceleration. At this point he doesn't eclipse Dobbins or CEH.

Yeah I can see that deep speed he has a gear. He can blow pass off coverage that will be his bread and butter until the rest develops. Ok back to the 2nd round thinking.

if has the same speed as AB but will become a diva like him pass, I rather get a WR who already has good character and with better size so it will take pressure of Juju you add a Claypool or Pittman or Collin Johnson with juju mid 4.5 speed and any one these 3 WR all above 6"2 who are good college redzone players it will leave many 1-1 in 4 wr sets with juju washington johnson and throw in one of these rookies with ebron or vance working the seem.

I hear you ...he looks faster plays faster than Claypool. But obviously you need to check out the character. But that is with every prospect. I would be more comfy with Reagor taking the top off the coverage.

Or scouts may be looking deeper, like last year, for a Diontae Johnson type that we don't know about. That suits me fine, I think they go with an OT

Well this is a deep WR class. So realistically you probably can get a solid option with that 3rd or 4th pick and we know they are pretty good at finding WRs.

OT or G for the first pick is still a win win to me as is RB (the right RB) Only 2 I want in 2 only 2 WRs,, tackles 2 that I like that is possibly available. ditto G.

Then there is always the pass rusher angle too.

I know some won't be as big on the draft without a 1 (yes I know Fitz would be considered that) but **** I will still love the process as I usually do. Just probably won't watch the first day. That will probably be just online updating...

Considering there is nothing else going on sportswise I bet there may be even more people following than usual. I know we don't have a pick in the first.... but how other teams go about drafting gives us anticipation ahead of what we will do in round two. Teams like Miami have 14 picks.... stranger things have happened....maybe we continue to trade future draft picks to obtain another pick this year...from a team that is overloaded.....it would suck to miss out on something like that happening......don't you want to see Claypool being selected.....lol
