2020 NFL Draft: Grades for all 32 first-round picks
player. 54. TCU. Jalen Reagor. Wide Receiver. 21. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis
Grade: D+
Oh man. The Philadelphia Eagles have had a tough time drafting wide receivers in recent memory and may have made another horrendous mistake by making Jalen Reagor the selection here at No. 21 overall. Sorry Philly fans.
We saw the Eagles’ issues at wide receiver last season. Injuries played a part, but it’s not like Reagor has done a great job of staying healthy during his college careers. He’s also had issues with drops (like Nelson Agholor) and reportedly has some character concerns as well. Put simply, there are some red flags.
In most situations, it would be understandable to take a risk. However, this is a loaded wide receiver class. The Eagles left a player like Justin Jefferson on the board while rolling the dice against ugly odds by drafting Reagor.
Let’s hope Howie Roseman knows what he’s doing, because this selection is questionable at best.
