I forgot about Hamlin. He’s kinda raw for me in terms of what I think he can do but the ask I would think would be similar to a ruggs or reagor.
i would think it would go ruggs, reagor, Hamlin, Bowden in terms of draft order.
maybe Hamlin sniffs pick 50 maybe Bowden sniffs 75
That's the order I expect, as well. I prefer Reagor, because he wins in more ways than Ruggs, and imo he has a better feel for leverage as a route runner and with the ball in his hands. I'm also encouraged by his production right out of the gate. Came to TCU as a top recruit (ESPN rated him as the 6th WR in 2017) and played well as a freshman before going off as a sophomore. His stats look modest until you see how poor TCU's passing game was - for all three years but especially in 2019. Ruggs likely runs a better 40, but as you said, both wil run blazing times, and Reagor looks quicker and like he has more burst than Ruggs - praising Reagor, not knocking Ruggs, as he's plenty quick and explosive. In addition to Reagor having a profile I like a lot, his 2018 game vs Ohio State got me.
I think Ruggs will be a valuable player, but I don't think he'll be a high-volume WR. He'll still open things up, be a tremendous deep threat, and take the occasional short pass to the house, but I think he's going to disappear for stretches. He's more of a turbo-charged Kenny Stills than a D. Jackson or T. Hill.
I'm a little worried about Hamler's slightness, and I'm a little discouraged by his work as a return man. I still like him, but I feel less sure of him.
Bowden Jr is one of my favorite players in the draft, but I do think he'll run more in the 4.45-4.52 range, and his limited work as a receiver makes him more of a projection. I think he'll develop into an excellent slot, with some upside to play outside, but that 50-75 range seems right to me.
You check out Bryan Edwards at all? Very different receiver - big, strong guy with surprising speed, rather than blazing speed. Currently projected just outside the Top 100, I think he'd give Miami that player that makes tough catches and moves the chains, without sacrificing much big-play ability. Reagor early and Edwards a little later would give Miami a complete group of receivers. I know that most bristle at the idea of drafting two WR's, claiming WR to be a strength, but after Parker, all I see is potential in P. Williams (not something or someone I'm counting on), a solid guy in Ford, and a couple gadget players in Grant and Wilson. Outside of fixing the OL and finding an elite, do-it-all TE, nothing will help a young QB more than surrounding him with a great group of WR's, and early success is very important. If your future QB doesn't play in 2020, even better. When he plays in 2021, the WR's will have a year of development under their belts.
