Round 2 - #50 - Jayden Reed
I think ESPN's mock nailed the two picks.

I don't know much about it, but he's clearly one of those electric slot guys so i'm into it.

Re: 2nd - Jayden Reed
Great after the catch from what I've seen and can play all over. Consensus seems to be this was a pretty big reach, though, and he is pretty undersized.

I know some of you don't like spoilers but they're so far behind it's ridiculous
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Gute 3/3. Could be 0-3 in a year

Re: 2nd - Jayden Reed
Yea, ESPN had them taking Reed at 45.
Athletic:
PFF:
Athletic:
SUMMARY: A three-year starter at Michigan State, Reed was a perimeter receiver in offensive coordinator Jay Johnson’s offense. Although his senior year fell short of expectations because of injuries and the Spartans’ offensive struggles, he accounted for 46 explosive plays (20-plus yards) over the past two seasons and became just the third player in school history with multiple punt return touchdowns in the same season. Reed has outstanding foot quickness and skillfully throttles his route speed to separate from coverage. Despite dropping too many easy ones, his focus is heightened on contested windows, and he shows a knack for timing his leaps and snatching the football off the helmets of defensive backs. Overall, Reed will have a tougher time overcoming his slight size vs. NFL defensive backs, but his speed, route tempo and downfield ball skills are the ingredients of a potential NFL playmaker. With a few technical tweaks to his game, he has NFL starting ability (slot and outside) and adds value as a return man.
PFF:
Reed has been a Swiss army knife throughout his college 5 career. Whether it’s catching the ball, running the ball or effective no matter what he's been asked to do. Reed started his college career at Western Michigan before transferring to Michigan State during the COVID year. His best season came in 2021, as he recorded 1,674 all-purpose yards and 13 returning kicks and punts on special teams, Reed has been touchdowns while finishing with an 82.2 PFF grade. There are plenty of NFL teams who could use Reed’s unique skill set.
Reed is one of the class' crisper route-runners. He knows how to stem to gain leverage, sell his breaks and pace his routes to create separation. Add to that a plus athletic profile, and it's easy to see him being productive at the next level.
Reed's sudden route-running ability allows him to wear a lot of hats on offense. He may not ever be a focal point, but he can still bring value in a number of different roles.
Reed has to find ways to keep his body clean at the next level. He's a completely different receiver when defensive backs get their hands on him. Too many routes get taken off course.
Reed may not have that high of a ceiling at his size, but he's a polished, high-floor player nonetheless.

Not named Luke so that's a negative.
An actual slot guy? Like that, hope it works out better than last time.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Please don't be another Amari Rodgers.
I don't like this pick, hopefully I am wrong.

Don’t know much about him specifically but an electric slot guy is a really fun pairing with Waston and Doubs
