10. Jalen Reagor, TCU

Poor quarterback play cost Jalen Reagor at TCU. He played well as a sophomore, racking up 72 receptions for 1,061 yards and nine touchdowns. He also carried the ball 13 times for 170 yards and two more scores. However, around a third of his production evaporated in his junior season as the quarterback situation degraded.

Reagor is a playmaker, but that doesn’t mean he’s an elite wide receiver. At times, Reagor loses focus and drops passes. His consistency as a receiver raises some questions. However, when Reagor gets the ball in his hands, he can torch defenses, as evidenced by his two punt return touchdowns in 2019.

Scouts love Reagor’s speed, but he only ran a 4.47 40 at the combine, suggesting it’s more burst or acceleration than pure speed. Reagor could find himself employed as a gadget player in the NFL with the potential to expand into a WR2. Right now, he doesn’t block well enough to start. He also struggles against the press and slacks off on routes.

Reagor needs to master the mental and fundamental aspects of playing wide receiver before he can see the field as a WR2. The TCU product should hear his name called somewhere between the mid-second and mid-third-round.
