Post First Wave of FA Draft - CJD

[CJD]

watch some youtube videos of these guys. I like that Reagor is explosive, but yeah the drops are a concern. Shenault is my 
guy too but you are correct about his injury history and we don't need to draft another injured WR early.

Always thought Tee would be ideal if he is there at 33 but I just doubt he will be. Good stuff on Mims and Reagor though 
here CJD. I definitely warmed up to Reagor.

As I watch Mims play, I see a lot of one thing: push offs.

It's very subtle and he may be able to get away with it more times than not, and I think the latter video is posing it as a positive (I can't listen to the audio at the moment), but it does make me wonder if he can get separation at the next level without that arm action. That doesn't scream 4.38 speed to me. I've read reports that say his play speed doesn't match that 40 time so...eh...

Peter Bukowski shares my concern:

Late separation is so crucial. I wish he created more with his route running though. For as twitchy and athletic as his numbers say he is, he was “wide open” less than any top WR in the class by FAR by PFFs charting. That tracks with what I saw too.

If the Bengals take Mims, that tells me that they vetted him and decide he's worth the pick, in which case I'm fully on board with the pick. But if I were given a choice, I'm not taking Mims at 33.
