Pick 106: Seattle Seahawks select Josh Reynolds, WR Texas A&M

One of the biggest problems with the Seahawks offense in 2016 came in the red zone. They scored touchdowns on just 47.6 percent of their trips inside the 20. Enter Reynolds, the 6′ 3″ , 193 lb receiver from TAMU.

Reynolds body type is best defined as lean, and he can struggle to get off good jams at the line of scrimmage. It’s unlikely he can add much more weight to his frame. If so, he will need to improve his technique to create separation at the next  level.

What he lacks in strength, he more than makes up for with his ball skills. He excels at high pointing the football, and uses his strong hands to rip the ball away from defenders. Reynolds is more than just a jump ball guy. He is tough across the middle, and is not afraid to take big hits to secure catches.

With the injury to Tyler Lockett, and the uncertainty in the future of Jimmy Graham and Jermaine Kearse in Seattle, Reynolds can be the next red zone weapon for Russell Wilson.
