are we overlooking the Lee Evans of this draft class?

[billvernsays]

Jalen Reagor reminds me of Lee Evans so much after watching some of his best games. I will concede that his hands aren’t as good at this point but Lee Evans was 2 years older when he entered the league. 
 

Is this comparison just lazy or do other people see the same thing? 

[Augie]

The Ravens probably won’t draft him. 

[billvernsays]

I’m all for getting one of the bigger guys but Reagor is gonna be a good pro

[NewEra]

I feel Reagor more elusive and dangerous after the catch.  More twitch explosiveness 

[njbuff]

Lee Evans was good, but he was mostly a one trick pony.

 

The again, he had Losman and Edwards throwing him the ball. Hard to judge how good a WR is with h them.

[billvernsays]

I think if we could add a Lee Evans to this WR corps we’d take it. 

[1st Ammendment NoMas]

Ruggs or Shenault for me please.

[K-9]

Is he willing to run low crossers? If not, he may indeed be another Lee Evans.

Just wondering why Higgins isn’t included?

Lee Evans would have been a perennial pro bowler outside Buffalo.  People both forget and under estimate how good he was.  He was saddled with one of the worst of luck QB situations for a career. I mean they all sucked.  
 

That being said, I am not that familiar with the player in question.  But I will add, we already have a Lee Evans type player in Brown (although Evans was better with better hands).  This team needs a WR who is strong with great hands and some size.  
 

If we added someone comparable to Evans, great means we did add more talent.  BUT to best compliment this offense right now where we have a monster sized QB and the smallest starting 3 WRs in decades, give me someone with size, strong hands, strong route runner, and preferably some speed to go with that please.  
 

But no more small WRs.  We have a Goliath of a QB, he needs bigger targets too, not just Smurf’s.  

[Bookie Man]

It is forgotten that the chiefs drafted their punter in the 3rd round. We're all worried about WRs, they're in their hot tubs staring at their sb rings. #4DChess ?

[Ethan in Cleveland]

Need catch radius not more speed.  Watkins is the perfect pairing to Hill.  Brown doesn't have Hill's speed but he is fast enough and runs great routes and has above average if not elite hands.  Easley is perfect in the slot. Let Knox and Kroft develop and add a big man on the outside.

[BruceVilanch]

Give me Ruggs, Higgins, or Shenault. Jeudy is a pipe dream but I was just in denver and hit the pipe pretty hard over the weekend so I can dream.

[Prickly Pete]

While I wouldn't refuse a Lee Evans, we already have John Brown, who is pretty similar (and probably more versatile).

Speed kills... Look in the super bowl what speedy WR's, like Tyreek Hill, can do to break down even a great defense.

 

Sign the fastest WR's in the draft.

Breshad Perriman is 6'2" 215 lbs and is faster than Hill(5'10" 180). Bring him in to start opposite Brown and draft a top prospect with speed and size to develop.

I hope so OP....  we want (1) Radius (2) RAC

[Aussie Joe]

I’ll take a DE thanks in the first round...

If we can get him at a good deal, I'd be ok w/ that.

I must not have a football mindset.  I read the above sentence, and automatically think the guy could have made big bucks bowling on ABC TV on Saturday afternoons.  ?
