Hooper, Perriman, Bridgewater, Rivers, Derrick Henry. Could make an argument for most of the big names honestly.

He was quoted in an article on The Athletic when asked about Buffalo saying something along the lines of "At the end of the day, no matter where I go I'm going to be paid a ton of money. I like living in the South, so if I'm getting a ton of money anyways, why would I take a few million more a year to play up North?"

Would love to have someone like Amari, but he's pretty much already said he's not interested in playing for Buffalo even if they offer more money than everyone else.

My general opinion (can't remember if I already posted this in this thread or not): I don't really care what mold a rookie RB is; we simply need to add another talented RB to the group, with the emphasis being on them being a talented runner. Allen is our short yardage back IMO and Singletary is strong enough and elusive in tight spaces to run between the tackles effectively. A receiving/3rd down back can be found amongst the veteran ranks if the rookie isn't a natural fit for that role. Guys like Chris Thompson and Buck Allen are free agents now. Dion Lewis might join them soon. And guys of that mold are often found on the scrap heap in free agency. Would love for our rookie to be versatile enough to handle it but it's not a must to me.

Recommend following Brad Kelly both on Twitter and YouTube; especially YouTube. He's posting videos of every target/rush attempt for WRs like this: The All-22 angle really helps in terms of being able to see how these guys separate before the ball enters the picture. With this video in particular, Mims seems like kind of a fish out of water in terms of his route running but he shows off his size, athleticism, and hands in this one.

I was going to ask about this too because I thought I remembered the same. Still a pretty big WR but that was a pretty big difference in the measurements. Seemed like Reagor measured significantly heavier than expected as well.

I don't think this is true at all. There's like 6 potential 1st round QBs this year (I would guess that 4 ultimately get taken in the 1st). But regardless, Fromm was already critiqued pretty harshly all year since he's been around for awhile now and the Georgia system wasn't going to do him any favors to be worth sticking around for.

For those that are interested: Minnesota media reporting that Tyler Johnson likely will not do athletic testing at the Combine. Plans to wait until Pro Day for it.

I probably agree but whether or not you can sign AJ for a year is very debatable. I’ve seen some projecting like 4/$70 mil for him which I would definitely not be interested in (unless it’s basically a 2 year with two team options). I’d be ecstatic to get Diggs as well though. Don’t really think Diggs gets moved at the end of the day. The guy I’m keeping an eye on is Brandin Cooks. Would likely cost less given his injury issues. Not sure if it’ll make cap sense for the Rams until we have a new CBA though.

I will never be mad at taking an OL prospect (assuming it’s not a gigantic reach like a guy projected in the 7th), so I’d be fine with Ruiz. I think we’re at the point where we will be tempted to go in a lot of different directions that the media doesn’t necessary see coming. There will certainly be talented WRs like a Shenault, Jefferson, Aiyuk, Reagor, etc. available at our pick and maybe some worthwhile Edge prospects, but given the depth at WR and the potential that the Edge guys are gone, a more long-term need or secondary need like CB, OL, or safety wouldn’t surprise me. Could even justify a LB depending on how negotiations with Milano are going.

Yes that’s the one!

The other interesting guys imo would be Anthony Gordon, Jalen Hurts, and there’s a small school guy who’s name is slipping my mind right now.

This is the correct answer if you want to knock out the top guys. Those 6 are all in the first round discussion. I’m personally just missing Eason at this point for my own scouting.

I think we just need another good back. Don’t really care what mold he is; just get me another good runner. If neither Singletary or the new rookie is a good receiver, you can pick one up off the scrap heap.

How would it be 17 extra regular season games?

NFL teams expect him to run in the 4.45-4.50 range, but most people (myself included) are pretty skeptical of that. If he doesn’t have the long speed, he doesn’t really have anything that suggests he’ll separate well, so that leaves him as a contested catch artist, which is akin to being a mid-range specialist in the NBA. It’s not highly valuable if you aren’t offering anything else and that’s the way a lot of people that are down on him feel about him. Having said that, I don’t think he’ll run a 4.6 like some think; I think he’s around a 4.55 and I think he’s more skilled than people give him credit for.

I think it’s really a top 3 and then everyone else is below those guys. I would rank the 10 leftovers from your post: 1. Reagor 2. Aiyuk 3. Higgins 4. Jefferson 5. Pittman 6. Shenault 7. Edwards 8. Hamler 9. DPJ 10. Mims

Two extra playoff games and 16 extra regular season games...the powers that be must be so excited. I’m happy to have more football. Hope they expand game day rosters to accompany this.

My guess is he isn’t moved anywhere and this Instagram thing is business as usual for him. I would absolutely love to have him though.

RB size doesn’t really matter at all IMO and CEH is a tank. Reagor is a better “big” WR than someone like Shenault. Robertson is legitimately a question mark as far as that goes and that’s why he’ll be taken where later.

If the footwork he showed this past season is here to stay, he should be among the best QBs in the NFL within a few years IMO. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more accurate passer over the course of a college season the way he was. And a watchful eye could tell he was special the year before as well; he just hadn’t fixed his footwork issues yet. From the past 4 draft classes, he’s tied with Lamar for my 2nd highest grade.

1. Jalen Reagor. I assume Jeudy, Lamb, and Ruggs are out of reach and Reagor is the next best WR IMO. 2. Edwards-Hellaire. I love him as a prospect. I don’t think Buffalo will go for him but I would love it if they did. 3. Amik Robertson. Undersized slot corner and doesn’t really have the elite athleticism you look for to make up for it but the way he plays seems like a good fit with McD and I think he can be had on Day 3. Just missing out is Bryan Edwards, the South Carolina WR.

Reagor is a really talented dude. Obviously TBD to see if he pans out in the NFL, but he’s in that Stefon Diggs/Santonio Holmes mold where they’re under 6’0” but are great at climbing the ladder and making contested catches and have the explosiveness you generally don’t get with other contested catch guys.

Sign: Jadeveon Clowney Trade for: Cam Brate Draft: Jalen Reagor (or one of the big 3 WRs if they somehow slide to us)
