So I'll say him....and I don't think it's real close
I'm not sure that Reynolds sees the field as quickly as Kupp or Everett, Flip.
Woods and Tavon are gonna be ahead of him until he gets his sea legs.
Therefore, I would pick either Kupp or Everett based upon the way the question is framed.
I'll stand by my answer. I'd like to think that a young offensive mind like McVay won't pigeonhole Reynolds to the outside like you have. He wasn't a target hog slot WR in college but he did run some plays from the slot and looked very comfortable there to me. He's shifty vs man coverage and understands how to read zone. He will be able to use his length inside vs the traditionally smaller slot CBs.
Everett MIGHT get force fed playing time but TE is a tough jump. LBs move so much faster at the NFL level, much more physical, and TEs deal with defenders coming from all angles. WRs at least have the advantage of some one on ones in SOME space. So that leads to Kupp vs Reynolds and I simply feel Reynolds is the better WR and a good offensive mind is going to get his better players on the field and use them.
Not saying that this group of coaches can't figure out how to use Reynolds in the slot, but he has ran 31 routes from the slot his entire college career and seen six targets there.
