Best pick of Roseman era

Looking forward to it. Waaaay too many are ready to jump off a cliff/fire Roseman over a guy they’ve never seen play.

I like it. He's kind of a bigger Djax

I have never seen him play. What is worrying me is that most had a late 2nd rd grade on him whereas Jefferson seemed a steal at 21. Add that in with a track record pf reaching on busts. I will gladly eat crow if he is a solid #2 WR.

Guy had 5 TDS last year...how many will he have in the NFL? Not expecting a lot but hope he proves me wrong. Also, who is playing LB?

Watch his tape. When the QB was able to get him the ball, he was a nightmare. Doug's going to have a lot of fun with this kid.

I don't know about LB. If they don't go WR again tomorrow, Willie Gay would be a nice pick.

What? Where'd you see this???? The guy went exactly where he should have been drafted.

Read his comp as Derrick Mason...but faster.

I'll take that all day every day.

I would have felt better about the night if lamb didn't fall into Satan's lap.

I'm not all the way there that its Rosemans best pick but understand their thinking and support it. Howie and Doug recognize that Carsons window is limited so need a guy who can fit a need immediately and Reagor does that.

This offense has always been significantly better when they had someone who could take the top off the D (DJax, Mike Wallace, Torrey Smith) even if he is merely a threat.

They've invested a ton in the TEs and other players who work the middle of the field so a slot guy would be redundant.

They clearly believe he's got the 4.3 speed that he's shown on the field vs the 4.4 he ran after beefing up his strength for combine.

With only 3 real speed guys out there in Ruggs, Reagor and Hamler, they either thought Hamler wasnt gonna be there when they pick at 2 or just dont like him as much as Reagor.

Day 1, he's gonna help the team even if its just using his speed as a decoy. If he grows into a stronger DJax, thats a great fucking pick.

Howie clearly didn’t see Jefferson as a guy that would be a fit on the outside. In the interview with CSN, he kept emphasizing outside speed with this kid.
After the Cryptkeeper’s son passed on the edge rusher everyone thought they’d draft, it would be nice if the league didn’t reinstate the two criminal DEs.

NBC, CBS, and USA Today barely had him in the top 10 of WRs. He is ranked # 9, 9, and 10 prospect. All late 2nd round. Again they all could be wrong, but the Eagles have a history of bypassing a player that is the consensus stud for a reach that ends up not working out. DK Metcalf comes to mind from last year.
