There is no question that Justin Jefferson has been the best rookie wide receiver, and he's turning into one of the NFL's best. Meanwhile, the Eagles, who passed on Jefferson to take Jalen Reagor with the No.21 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, continue to be laughed at by their peers when it comes to drafting wide receivers. Literally, laughed at.
During the 2020 NFL Draft, Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman and Head Coach Mike Zimmer were on a Zoom call discussing their pick at No. 22. From the onset, Spielman is talking about trading back to No. 25 to select a cornerback or taking a wide receiver at No. 22. The moment Spielman and Zimmer find out the Eagles selected Jalen Reagor, their faces lit up (via @theJJets)
The reaction says it all. Spielman is chuckling saying "get Justin Jefferson on the clock right now" and Mike Zimmer ends up chuckling as well. It's the tone of a room that clearly thought Jefferson would be taken off the board before their pick came. "We were sweating it out the whole time hoping you'd get to us and we are very fortunate that you did," said Zimmer
