Michael Pittman Jr. At 4.52.

Pretty good for his size.


Any word on Denzel Mims?

 

[NOFALCONS10]

Possibly, I still don't think it's a concern. Laviska most likely didn't have as much training time to prepare for the Forty with his best efforts considering he had Hip Flexor / Groin issues immediately following the season.

Deebo ran a 4.48 official and Laviska's play style is most similar to him. If you Draft Laviska you want him to be your All-Around playmaker, you're going to play him in the Slot, at Wing Back, maybe give him some Backfield looks with read option, and he's going to play bully ball and try to bull doze mismatched DBs.

An actual concern would be some of his wear and tear at Colorado, the labrum surgery, and the Core injuries are real concerns that could cause him to fall; but like you I'd still be happy taking him because I think Payton's creative play-calling could scheme up effective match-ups for him.

I don't think anything has changed for me.

Neither Shenault or Reagor have fallen in my eyes.

If anything, Claypool has risen. Skyrocketed even.


This is going to be a hard choice but I still also like Terrell Lewis at DE and Kenneth Murray at Linebacker as well.

 

[Saint Spud]

Shenault didn’t run the second time. Sounds like he has a groin issue

 

[Winsett]

Reagor not great but good at 4.47.

He matched Amari Cooper's and Calvin Ridley's 40 times which I expected.

I thought you expected him to match Tyreek Hill?

 

[ThrowbackSaintXXL]

Yikes. 4.51 for Ceedee Lamb

I actually thought he’d run slower than that. Like a 4.58 or sumthin

 

[NOFALCONS10]

Mims almost caught a deep pass at the Senior bowl for a 50-plus yard TD but it got lost in the sun even though he had his man beat.

I was impressed by that near miss just as I was by Claypool's 2nd TD that didn't count.

Mims is going to make it hard to keep him out of rd one now though I don't really see him as a high-volume, pass-catching flanker like Mike Thomas.

I see him as more of a natural split end like Robert Meachem or Martavis Bryant.

 

[NOFALCONS10]

I thought you expected him to match Tyreek Hill?

He still stands a great chance to match Hill's production if not his speed as he compares favorably to Amari Cooper.

I did think he ran close to a 4.2 but i might have been deceived by his burst (10-yard split) which can make players seem much faster than they are.

Still 4.47 with a 42" vertical is pretty good all things considered at 206lbs.

Lets see what his 3-cones and shuttles are.

He also still has another attempt at the 40.

 

[NOFALCONS10]

For perspective:

Reagor 4.47 42" vertical
Jeudy 4.46. 35" vertical

 

[NOFALCONS10]

Reagor also smoked Jeudy in the broad jump 138" vs 120"

Jeudy is the truth. I’d love to see him fall into striking distance.

He could definitely prove to be just as capable when the pads come on. I thought he looked tense and very powerful in his run, so it could have been just a poor time and he may not lose as much speed when pads come on compared to other guys...

But 4.47 and 4.27 is a HUGE difference in speed, 10 yard split or not.

His stride and track history actually has me expecting him to be better in the back half of the 40, as those guys tend to be bigger striders who beat guys with maintaining top speed, as opposed to acceleration. That said, his awesome vert would suggest great burst.

I feel like he will have a great shuttle, and average 3 cone (I thought he looked a little tight in the hips and didn't see TCU asking him to run very many technical routes). I only watched his highlights and 1 or 2 regular season games without all-22 though.

 

[Bespoke]

Jeudy testing less 'explosive' than Reagor isn't really much of a surprise either, Jeudy wins with ridiculous footwork and nuanced route running, his eyes lie to DBs and send them in the wrong direction more than any College receiver in recent memory. (maybe since Amari?) He runs his routes like a seasoned NFL veteran. My only concern if it all with Jeudy is how he'll get off press against the top NFL guys.. but he will juke a lot of lesser DBs out of their cleats at the Line.

Ruggs must be super disappointed he didn't break Ross's 4.22 record; that was a big talking point heading into this week and he seemed dead set on beating it. 4.28 aint shabby though.

I think Reagor added a lot of bulk from the end of college season to the combine, which might have hurt him a bit in the Forty.

I believe TCU had him listed at 195 lbs. for the 2019 season, and he came to Indy at 208. So it's obvious NFL guys wanted to see if he had the bulk to take NFL hits; so most likely he's not used to running at this new weight yet.

Ruggs is icing his right thigh on the sidelines and not participating in any more drills.

I think he's just not a 4.2s 40 guy, to be honest. Perhaps he came in too heavy, but at his height, he doesn't have to be 208 lbs to take NFL hits. That's a pretty silly decision on his part if that's the case. Fortunately for him, he'll have the pro day to rectify it. 195-200 lbs is plenty heavy enough for a 5'11" WR, especially when his bread and butter was the 9 route and WR screens.
