I wish. Was following the APC twitter stream and they posted about it several minutes ago.
Reed tore up the Senior Bowl and his fil isn't bad. He'll push Toure for the WR3 spot and can run some deep routes as well. Not a terrible pickup but feels like a slight reach in R2 to me. I thought he was more of a R3 guy and would have preferred Rashee Rice. JMHO
Jayden Reed
Found this:
Summary:
Jayden Reed is a smaller, compact, lightning-quick route-runner who shifts between gears awesomely to get open. He has innate awareness to morph into a RB after the catch. His releases off the line are nasty. He has lateral juice and explosiveness. He was held back in 2022 by lesser talent around him. For a smaller WR with a smaller catch radius, he tracks the football awesomely and shined in contested-catch scenarios. He has some drops on film but not a major concern. He's a fun, sleeper prospect with a style for today's game. Everything he does is effortless on the field.
Strengths:
Lightning quick to beat press and get open at all levels
Tracks the ball like a 6-foot-5 WR
YAC ability is a plus, elusive and deceptive contact balance, morphs into a RB after the catch
Weaknesses:
Speed is great, not amazing
Smaller frame with smaller catch radius
Production didn't build in 2022 after strong 2021
Steelers pick is in, GB pick is is, Seattle pick is in. Quit fucking around and announce the damn picks
NFL.com:
Athletically, Musgrave is almost identical to Kelce, but he doesn't have the YAC potential, so he looked more like Olsen to me.After the Packers passed on multiple pass-catching options Thursday, they land a potential Round 1-quality talent who has been beset by injuries. When healthy, he's a big, highly athletic target for new QB Jordan Love.

Albert Breer and Bill HUber called Jayden Reed as the pick like 5 minutes ago WTH
Gervon Dexter Sr., Moro Ojomo, or Jordan Battle in R3 please.
Then grab another TE, WR, a RB and whatever else on Day 3. Have to think those extra R5 and R6 picks they got for trading down are going to be used for trade-ups. That's a lot of picks.
Slot, special teams. Young WRs to build around. Need a grizzly locker room vet - watch Cobb snub Karon and come back.
This draft is going to be the death of Gute. If Watson gets hurt, which isn’t all that unlikely, this team will be lucky to score 10 points a game. Way too many shrimps on this team at WR.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
Reed isn't glamourous, but the fact he's savvy like a 2nd year player probably factored into their decision. Important to have mature players when your QB is going to be under a ton of pressure.
I actually had Reed higher and soured on him late--after watching some of the top CBs against him (Witherspoon seemed to get underneath his skin). I'll trust them to draft WRs in round 2 though. I like that at least they got some extra value (5th and 6th round picks) before taking him.

Does anyone know who the MSU QB was? I have a feeling he wasn't very good but have no idea.
Reed is 5'11" 187 ran a 4.45, can return kicks and punts.
6.74 RAS though.In 2021, Reed was a finalist for the Paul Hornung Award as the nation's most versatile player

He's probably a slot.
Now watch out for Dontayvion Wicks as a Day 3 for GB.
Not gonna lie, kinda wanted Darnell Washington at 50.
BTW, here's the APC twitter list.

so reed also has some return experience
he also played one year at my alma mater western michigan. just like greg jennings, corey davis and sky moore
Red, I did not know you were a Western guy, but given your legendary drinking skills I guess I ought to have known.
Luke Musgrave - I don't know. Harv likes him.The stuff you guys posted about him reminds me of DickRod. Tucker Kraft - the bits of tape I saw, I think I could beat him in a forty yard dash, and I'm 62.
And Reed - I'm from the State of Michigan, and I don't know jack about the guy. Seems kinda small for the Pack, but maybe they're thinking slot. My friend thinks Bisaccia might have influenced that pick - a punt returner.
I'm not super pumped, but at least they didn't draft Branch.Wait til Christian Watson blows by him for a TD catch at Ford Field next year!
I don't know. Today the picks seem kinda "meh," but I don't know shit. I really don't. So we'll see.
