Last offseason, the Eagles selected the TCU wideout over Justin Jefferson, which was justified at the time because the organization viewed Jefferson purely as a slot receiver. Fast forward a year and it looks as though Jalen Reagor will receive the bulk of his snaps in the slot.
This is both confusing and frustrating because Jefferson was clearly considered a better prospect by the NFL. This speaks to the Philadelphia’s poor talent evaluation and their mismanagement of draft picks, which has plagued the City for years now.
Just one year after drafting Reagor, his move to the slot is welcomed as an opportunity to get the ball in the hands of a playmaker ,but Reagor was drafted to help stretch the field and take the top off defenses.
