For the record SI.com put first round grades out...Eagles got an A- for Reagor, Vikes got a B- for Jefferson. So no, not all the experts agree that Jefferson was the choice at 21. 

Isn't that grade based on team needs, so we could have picked Charlie Noname there and got a B- if he was a WR.

For the record SI had Jefferson ranked 16 overall and Reagor at 43, behind Higgins, Mims, Aiyuk and Shenault.

We're Al Davis Raiders, picking a fast guy ahead of everything else,  bringing up return skills in your interviews for a first round pick WR is f'ing embarassing.

We are both happy!

Reagor is exactly what we need. His explosiveness is off the charts and his route running is underrated.

Last year when Jackson went down, we didn’t have anybody to stretch the field - now we do.

He is also a dynamic punt returner.

Love the pick.

What I love about the pick is how we can use him. We can use him as that deep threat to rest Jackson or if Jackson misses time. We can use him opposite Jackson to really get some speed out there finally. We can probably use him in the slot too. We can use him on short passes because he's dynamic with ball in hand. I think he can win 50/50 balls because he's got that physicality to his game and athleticism to go up after the ball.

Agreed bud - there’s no guarantees, butI think this guy is going to be a stud.

I think we will start him in the slot and have him spell Jackson at times. Doug will just find ways to get the ball in his hands as you say.

I think he will have to start opposite Jackson? I mean if Jeffrey isn't free? Unless we draft another WR but are you convinced they will? Because I am not.

He’s gonna start in the slot and at Z behind DJax. He’s not a X.

They will draft another, but in my view he’s much better suited for the slot or Z. I know he’s bigger than people think - but I don’t think he’s an X.

It will be Jeffery on the other side with JJAW and the other rookie competing behind him.

I think he can play X at times. I am not saying it is going to be his best position.

So we still need an X then. Do you think they get one? Or do they, stupidly, trust JJAW too much?

I hope you are right bud! I hope they do draft another, they certainly need to.

Depends on how they feel about JJAW and what they’ll do with Jeffrey.

Remember Higgins, Mims, Pittman and Claypool are still on the board, all prototypical X receivers.

But no, I can’t envision Reagor at X. Slot, Z, screens, gadget plays, punt/kick off returns are his game.

I can't see them going WR in the secound though can you? And I will imagine all 4 of those will be gone by the time we pick in the third.

At least two out of those 4 will flat out be there or within reach IMO.

I don’t think they’ll go WR but wouldn’t shock me if they did.

Favorite prospects available; Fulton, McKinney, Wilson, Winfield, Johnson, Diggs, Hennessey, Mims, Higgins, Pittman, Gay, Delpit

You think at least two of those fall in to the third round? I mean I could certainly see us trading up in the third to snag one of those guys if they did.

What do you think they do in the second round then?

I don't see Higgins and Mims making it to 53 unless someone takes Shenault ahead of one of them,  Pittman may be there and I think Claypool makes it to the 3rd.

No, brother! All 2nd maybe early 3rd round prospects. All options at 53 or with a small trade up! None will be available at 103...

I think Claypool may fall to the third round. Pittman might too and if either do then we really should look to trade up.

Yeah exactly and I don't see them going back to back WRs especially given other needs and given how the board currently looks. In fact I would say there is a 5% chance they take WR in the second round.

Exactly! So if the Eagles want either Higgins or Mims they’ll have to trade up at least 8-10 spots...

And how do you envision that?! Trading up from 103 to early 3rd round?! Way too expensive! Smarter thing would be to trade back in the 2nd if you really want to accomplish that...

I mean yeah perhaps we could do that? Not a bad idea though I think there will be too much defensive talent on the board at #53 and they will take one of them.

I think the only way they go WR in the second is if Higgins or Mims fall. We have a lot of other needs.

I think they will...

Either a safety, pass rusher, CB or LB

Yeah agreed I think it will be safety but that's a complete guess.

Just now, UK_EaglesFan89 said:

Might not be a bad guess. A lot of talent still available at that position with all safeties still on the board.

I think it’ll be a LB... Gay or Wilson

Could be a LB although that still feels too high for this team... I mean ultimately they did pass on Murray.

Why does it feel too high?! Took Kendricks in the second...

For this FO, for this team I just think right now that's too high in their eyes that's all I am saying.
