Eagles Draft Jalen Reagor With the 21st Overall Pick

The first round of the NFL Draft this year was the most watched draft event ever due to the virus canceling everything involving sports. And it was a spectacle for sure. Something that I very much enjoyed and was glad that it worked out for the league.

The Eagles, however, did not get the spectacle memo. Much to mine and every Eagles fans disappointment.

Instead Howie Roseman decided to sit at 21 and watch the top receivers get picked one by one. Even CeeDee Lamb who was the last to go of the trio at 17 to the Cowboys.

The damn Cowboys.

The top receiver in the draft just fell and fell and was there for the Cowboys. Which will pose an entirely different problem now for the birds when playing the boys in terms of covering their multitude of offensive weapons.

The Eagles were then faced with the decision of Choice A picking the next best receiver, Justin Jefferson from LSU or Choice B, taking a Linebacker, most likely Kenneth Murray. Either of which I would have been happy with and completely understood.

But no. Howie chose Choice C! Choice C wasn't even an option for those keeping track at home.

Howie picked Jalen Reagor, a receiver from TCU.

Reagor was second round receiver in the opinion anyone who knew what a draft was. But not Howie! He knows something we don't and he took Reagor at 21.

Is this a bad pick? Simply put, I don't know. The goal of this draft was to find a receiver that could have an immediate impact on the struggling Eagles offense. So, only time will tell.
