Draft talk rounds 2-3

Gonna be a really good receiver for us!

DynamiteRave · 04-26-2013, 10:52 PM

Well, how would you grade the Skins draft so far?

vallin21 · 04-26-2013, 10:53 PM

Hopefully Rambo/Williams/Jefferson fall to the 4th

CBS has Reed as our Aaron Hernandez:

Reed was a versatile threat at New London High School in Connecticut, where he threw for 1,707 yards and 28 touchdowns as a junior while also rushing for 370 yards and eight touchdowns. He led New London to an undefeated season in 2007, was a finalist for the Joe Montana High School quarterback of the year in 2008 and chose Florida over Connecticut, Oregon, Boston College and Maryland.

Reed redshirted in 2009 before starting four of 12 games the following season. He finished 2010 with six catches for 79 yards (13.2 average) and one touchdown and gained 335 rushing yards on 77 attempts (4.4-yard average) and five touchdowns.

He started 10 of 11 games as a sophomore, again showing impressive versatility. Reed finished the season with 28 catches for 307 yards, leading the team in receptions four times.

Reed emerged as a first-team All-SEC pick in 2012, leading the Gators with 45 catches for 559 yards and three touchdowns. He joined a host of Florida teammates to declare a year early for the NFL Draft.

"I've enjoyed four good years at Florida, but I feel that now is the right time to pursue my dream of playing in the NFL," Reed said. "I appreciate the support from all the coaches and staff here, and I'll always be a Gator."

Lacking the bulk and blocking skills of most traditional tight ends, Reed isn't a fit for every NFL offense. His fluidity and soft hands, however, are reminiscent of former Florida star Aaron Hernandez who has out-played his fourth-round draft selection for the New England Patriots, establishing himself as one of the league's most difficult matchups.

Not a great blocker but a good receiver. More of an H-back or off line TE.

SFREDSKIN · 04-26-2013, 10:53 PM

My guess is Tanard Jackson is on the radar for next year.

RGIII · 04-26-2013, 10:54 PM

TE class was weak. There was no talent after this round. This really wasn't a sexy draft.

The Goat · 04-26-2013, 10:54 PM

Smart move IMO. Beyond this season we have nothing solid at TE apart from Lunch Pail Logan, with Davis being of questionable everything and a free agent and Paul not worth his weight in smoked ham.

Still really, really hope we can sign a legit, healthy starter at RT. And it's prolly too early to tell but does this mean Jammer is moving to FS? Intriguing if nothing else.

He doesn't need to be a blocker, he is another weapon to develop and grow with RG3.

I watched Florida quite a bit, that dude was always all over the Playbook. I'm probably going to love the pick in a couple years but I still wish we could have had a safety.

HailGreen28 · 04-26-2013, 10:56 PM

Not expecting us to trade up for another pick tonight. Goodnight everybody, thanks for a great thread to read while watching the draft.

"Poor man's Aaron Hernandez". I'm cool with that!

MTK · 04-26-2013, 10:57 PM

More weapons = a good thing. I'd like to add a WR and RB too.
