Official Day 2 (Rounds 2&3) Of NFL Draft Thread

[run pMc]

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.

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.

Fair point. Those extra picks could be useful for trading up or drafting a kicker.

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

Reed's RAS is kind of meh, but his speed is decent. This report looks pretty good:

Different from any receiver the Packers have had in a while.

don't use the 5th rounder to trade up. Draft an OL. It is tradition.

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.

In 2021, Reed was a finalist for the Paul Hornung Award as the nation's most versatile player

6.74 RAS though.

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.

Anybody else notice that NFL.com had 10 yard splits wrong on their site and never updated it? I assumed they were correct and the RAS site had it wrong. I found out a couple of days ago (while still on my trip to India) that the reverse was true. Honestly, the incorrect 10 yard split on Reed probably affected my thoughts on him a bit. NFL.com had him down for a below average 10 yard split (not JSN bad, but below average), but his 10 yard split was instead a solid 1.53.

dude looks pretty awesome

why did so many people have him so low?

[run pMc]

I think if he's your WR4 and returns punts it's not a great pick, but if he can become a WR2/3 it is.

Darnell Washington must have some kind of red flag, whether it's character or medical.

zero production in college?

he's pretty much a small tackle?

[sharpe1027]

He'll get every opportunity to contribute early. Seems like a safe pick.
