They're not similar players, despite possibly having some top end straight line speed. FWIW, I'd be a lot more likely to lose patience with Howie if he took Ruggs or Reagor with Lamb and Jeudy on the board. Let me clarify my statement then because there appears to be a misunderstanding. Howie and the Eagles stated that they were trying to get faster. Almost every player they drafted were near the top end of the 40 time (Drafted/acquired WRs where 4.43 is the slowest 40 time of that group). Now, speed is not the end all be all of their evaluation but clearly it was heavily weighted in their evaluations. I don't like the combine at all. Combine should technically confirm what was shown on tape. It is not ridiculous to think that the Eagles had Ruggs as their number 1 target at WR. The raiders clearly did and who knows how many other teams did as well. But in no way did I say they settled for Reagor. Again, you are talking to the person that was campaigning for Reagor if the Eagles stayed at #21. No one said Ruggs is like Reagor. Which of the top WRs in their years draft are similar players? Again I am not finding any area we disagree at... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han Solo Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I just saw that Reagor will wear #18. It must be nice to get to pick your own number, huh CeeDee? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzBirdGang Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Reagor is going to surprise so many people. He is going to dominate this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was really good at one point though. Besides rice, thats really good company for reagor to be in. I think he's gonna surprise alot of people with how good of a pure WR he is.

I dunno about dominating in year 1, but I do think the Eagles will find a way for him to amass 70 touches and he will be dynamic. 3-4 years down the line I think he will be a consensus top 10-15 WR.

Phillyfanatic Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 My first choice before the draft was CeeDee. Came to grips with the fact that there was no chance it would happen. Naturally the closer we got the more excited I got, so I was disappointed that we missed out and that Dallas got him. But the honest truth is before the draft I knew we had no chance at CeeDee and I hoped we had the stones to take Jalen Reagor even if Jefferson was there. I think Reagor is an explosive play maker that can’t be covered and can be schemed like Tyreek Hill is. To me I see Steve Smith, Percy Harvin and Tyreek in him. I see Antonio Brown in him although he’s not quite the route runner yet. Jalen Reagor is definitely going to be a problem for opposing defenses I don’t think it’s outside of the realm of possibility that he turns out to be the best wide receiver in this draft. It’s a gutsy pick and I definitely approve. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzBirdGang Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Skip the Josh Huff comparison parts and watch the highlights of Brown and Reagor. Gives you a good idea with the way the video is cut. Yea. I know he has a ways to go on route running if he wants to be Brown. The point is this guy gets so many different comparisons because he is that good of a player. Steve Smith, Tyreek Hill, Antonio Brown.... This draft was just nuts. People should be hyped. His mentor is Desean now.... we should be thrilled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDUB1510 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I posted this on the old board but there were quite a few prospects who came out and showed still frames of the clock starting before they had even moved. If he really ran 4.40 at 206lbs, is it really out of the realm of possibility that he's a 4.28-4.32 guy at 8-10lbs lighter? I can't wait to watch this kid grow with wentz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the clock supposed to start upon the player starting their attempt? Or is there a beep style start so it depends on reaction too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastFreddie Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 The kid has jets. You can see it on film. Arguing the nuances of how his 40 time was captured is a little silly. Game speed and 40 time have a correlation, for sure, but it's not a great predictor of NFL success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and he hits top speed at the snap of a finger. To me the absolute only question with this guy is learning to get off the line of scrimmage, but as a Z and slot for his early career it shouldn't be huge deal. Once he is off the line, his route running at the 2nd and 3rd levels is already NFL quality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one play last season he hit a top speed of 22.6 MPH on the play which represented the fastest top speed of any player in college football last year. And I guarantee Howie knew that when he targeted Reagor in this draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
