    His Combine performance was mixed, and I’m betting it cost him a round or two — until his Pro Day, that is. He likely came in overweight and a bit out of shape, but still managed to jump through the roof at 42 inches, plus 138 for the broad jump. But his times for the 3-Cone and 20-shuttle were poor. His forty — 4.47 — was solid but not spectacular.

    What a difference a day makes. Reagor lost weight for his Pro-Day and ran the forty in the range of 4.22-4.28, according to the scouts on hand. He killed it on the 3-Cone and the 20-shuttle, with times that would have put him near the top at the Combine.

    This is one of those rare times when the Combine actually doesn’t match up with game film in the other direction. As in, his game film was far better. Reagor’s Pro Day performance lines up with his Saturdays much better. The kid looks amazing on the field, his cuts, his instant acceleration, his ability to make his moves already at top speed.

    McVay would be in Seventh Heaven if he could work with him. But I’m guessing his Pro Day may have put him out of reach.

    I’m for Cam Dantzler. If there at 52, take him. Put him along side with Ramsey, and we would have two big CBs.

    Thanks to the House of Atreus for those videos.

    Yep, I think he would be a dynamo in the McVay offense. Not only with his own electrifying running, but opposing defenses would have to account for him at all times . . . thus opening things up for the other receivers and the running game.

    I liked Cooks. But I think Reagor has a very good chance to be waaay better. And his age is a plus, IMO. He turned 21 this January . . . so, if the Rams make the playoffs this upcoming season, he won’t turn 22 until late into his rookie year.

    i’d be fine with reagor. and with the second second rounder i’d like to see oline.

    only thing i worry about is the running game cuz this is a play action offense. so an rb in the later rounds.

    oh and also. saw him run some out of the backfield. could see him running those jet sweeps for the rams.

    He had some nice returns, though I did see him drop one punt on the highlight reel. It would be nice to get something out of special teams again. Last year the special teams were disappointing.

    According to Deadpool, he has iffy hands. I’m not sure Snead and McVay want a WR with iffy hands.

    I kinda like Pittman from USC. He’s a big guy at 6’4″ 223, but still has pretty good speed and quickness. And he looks really sure-handed. He had a really good senior year at USC and was a big play guy as a junior.

    Pittman sounds good, too. Great size, and the Rams WR room lacks that. He also may be there when they draft, and I don’t think Reagor will be. But who knows? As mentioned, I think Reagor helped himself tremendously from his Pro Day. Without it, with just the Combine, I think he would have been in the Rams’ range. But receivers with that kind of film and sub-4.30 speed tend not to last long.

    For that matter, teams may like Pittman a heck of a lot too, and he might go before the Rams have a shot at him. But there are enough quality receivers this year for them to find talent. Might be asking for too much, but I just hope he’s seriously fast and has the jukes. Icing on the cake would be size and height to go along with that. That kind of receiver, of course, usually goes early Round One.
