NFL Draft 2020: Eagles select Jalen Reagor help Carson Wentz

The Eagles have been high on TCU wide out Jalen Reagor for a while and they got their man at No. 21 to fill a need at wide receiver.

There were other guys on the board I thought the Eagles would go for — namely Justin Jefferson out of LSU — but they went with TCU wideout Jalen Reagor to fill in the need for weapons for Carson Wentz that was extremely necessary for Philadelphia.

Is this the best pick for them? Maybe, maybe not, especially with who was left on the board when they grabbed him.

Reagor’s father played for the Eagles and now his son will follow in his footsteps. He was the top wide receiver for TCU this year, producing 43 catches for 611 yards and five touchdowns. He caught 148 passes for 2,248 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns during his three-year tenure with the Horned Frogs. He brings the explosive element to the Eagles offense and will likely be one of at least two — maybe even three — offensive picks for Philadelphia this season.

The TCU star’s numbers last year don’t jump off the page in comparison to other guys, but his quarterback wasn’t as accurate as say Joe Burrow for Justin Jefferson at LSU. He has shown that, despite that, he can score from anywhere on the field. That is absolutely something that Wentz needs as the Eagles try to keep up with the rest of the NFC East on the offensive side of the ball.

Grade: B-

However, he has been known to drop the ball at times and that is not exactly something promising to hear. Hopefully, that can be fixed with the right coaching throughout the offseason and beyond, because I’m honestly not sold on this pick.
