And even then, there are people who would have still taken him back.

Reading this article, you kind of get the entire breadth of Gay's impact on a team.

From his potential issues with authority:

To the energy and attitude of his teammates when he's on the field:


All the way back to his unnecessary penalties:

You really get the fully Burfict experience with Gay Jr...

...But our defense was NEVER better than when prime level Burfict was on the field. I am willing to take a player with that level of impact in the 4th round.

As far as Reagor goes, I like him for the same reason I am not thrilled about Mims and Claypool. He was a known prospect during the season and he was projected as a first rounder based on his play, not his measurables. I really love the playmaking ability he brings to the team. If we can't get Tee Higgins, one of the few true Green replacements in this draft, then I think getting what Ross was always supposed to be is a nice consolation . Did you have a receiver at 33 you prefer?

The WR worthy of #33 IMO are: 

Mims: to me Mims is an AJ Green clone with the way he contorts his body
Jefferson: paring him with Burrow would help both acclimate to the NFL
Shenault: Injury history worries me some but if he checks out, he is a beast
Higgins:  Similar body-type to Green, but doesn't block well and can be bullied by physical CB.
