Exactly. So at that point you’re left with simply two options. Take the best player available or get your hundred million dollar quarterback some weapons. What do you do?

I got to go search for it on BLG comment section but someone put a tweet where Reagor was ranked 32 in dropped passes in the nation this year. Found this on Walter football that does a nice summary of the top 50 picks not an good endorsement from a team source at TCU
Draft wire:
Lance Zeirline of NFL.com
So it sounds like he has some questionable hands Some say bad QB play however like I stated for me what impressed with about SHeanult was he dealt with bad QB play and he had no issues on drops and his QB play was worse then Reagor's QB who plays in a worst defensive conference. Mims also caught a lot of balls that were bad too. Point is you can only use bad QB play for so long on guys.

I'd rather get my QB talent that played against actual defenses. Not a bunch of backyard defenses which is the big 12 I don't trust Big 12 players at all

You listed the above as “not a good endorsement” lol
I’d hate to have a dangerous wide receiver who can also return kicks LOL

I was bigger on Aiyuk then Reagor but would've been mad at reaching for him in the first. Out of the big 12 guys I liked Denzel Mims the best. But I was not high on any of those guys. I wanted one of the Bama guys or Jefferson.

Hill was a guy Liked because you could tell he had the talent to play anywhere. But he was also a more complete WR then Reagor is.

When you get a minute, please post like the top 30 or 40 wide receivers in the league along with their colleges. After that go ahead and post the same 30 best WR’s overall and their colleges. Report back with your findings
There are SO man great WR’s who have played at colleges you don’t approve of lol. Enough for you to abandon that ridiculous position.

I watched and i liked what i saw. That being said, you can cherry pick film on any player and make him look good.
I'm rooting for him, and I really hope I'm wrong.

Also this pick seems like a favor for Moorehead. According to Adam Caplan.

#Eagles WRs coach Aaron Moorehead, who played with Reagor's dad with the #Colts, did an install meeting with Jalen on video, his recall was outstanding.

Not the kind of night i was hoping for, but not terrible. I hope you're wrong DJax lol, but in sentiment I'm with you. He's an Eagle now, like it or not you'll be rooting for him too. 
Back for round 2 tomorrow! Thanks gents.

Or maximize asset value. If you want the best weapon, you go get the best weapon. Time will tell if we actually did that but if you are so worried about getting Wentz a weapon, it seems like we should have been willing to pay up to get that. Is Lamb better than Reagor?
By taking Reagor where we did, we essentially paid up anyways. Yes it was our pick but if we didn't 'need' him, we could have traded back and likely still got him. We were forced to overdraft a guy because we needed a weapon when we could have traded up a lot less than we thought coming into today and got Lamb.
At the end of the day, if Reagor becomes Hill then Howie wins and worrying about a 3rd round pick may seem silly but again, all I can look at is value right now. Watching highlight tapes is pretty useless. I'm sure every WR bust has tons of highlights.

You took the only good thing out of what was said by the team source. Here's the part you missed that wasn't a good endorsement Not a good endorsement when a team source says a WR has zero clue on route running. Kind of a big thing a WR needs to do. Drops passes once in awhile. And then another scout says he seems to lack competitiveness at times and loses concentration
Team sources say Reagor has no clue how to run a route and will need to be coached up on that. He has above average hands for a smaller speed receiver, but drops passes once in awhile.
Bigboy10182000

Yes you can. In those clips, did they match what you’ve read? On those contested catches and fades did he seem like he didn’t have hands?
Once the ball was in his hands, did he look to have amazing speed and acceleration?
Bigboy10182000

We didn’t necessarily “pay up anyway“. If we trade up to get lamb (who i definitely wanted) it would have cost us essentially 2 other players. If you want to argue our general manager would’ve screwed those two players up anyway you won’t find much resistance from me. With all of that said, we didn’t make the trade up. So we had to make do with what we had. And I’m totally fine with the guy we picked.
Yes I think Lamb would bet better here than Raegor. Whether he’s better there remains to be seen.

a strong pre-draft rumour was that New Orleans was in love with Raegor. how true that is, who knows, but if there is legitimacy to it maybe they thought they didn't have much choice.
Will be interesting to hear why they didn't take Jefferson, he was getting love all the way up at 15 from Denver. And i wonder how much of their decision here with WR has to do with them having probably 2 of the top 6-7 TEs in the league. That might be optimistic/homerish, but i think Goedert has some pretty nice upside.if that is the case, they really have to play both of them to maximize the roster

Do guys like Dallas428 think they’re creative? Think I blocked him after his first post lol

Honestly I think you are being a little over exuberant on this guy. You are talking him up like the next Randy Moss. You are completely overrating the guy. You also seem a little sore with anyone who disagrees with your opinion the guy. You're literally cherry picking every good thing. Again you showed us highlight reel tapes. Can we get what games you thought has his best tape we can watch and his worse? Maybe an all 22?When you get a minute, please post like the top 30 or 40 wide receivers in the league along with their colleges. After that go ahead and post the same 30 best WR’s overall and their colleges. Report back with your findings

If you go to the dynasty thread I linked above he was talked as a first round pick in January and February

it's pretty odd. Like yea, most of us wanted Lamb. I did. But that's not how it landed. Also think it was a ####ty pick for Dallas, but again who knows.

I didn't like the Dillard pick last year but I was hoping he'd turn out well. I always root for guys to succeed as it means its good for the team. I just think it's a big reach for Reagor who going into the combine was projected as a mid day 2 pick.Not the kind of night i was hoping for, but not terrible. I hope you're wrong DJax lol, but in sentiment I'm with you. He's an Eagle now, like it or not you'll be rooting for him too.

Who are the Eagles looking at in the 2nd?

have never seen a guy so pumped about getting an already crowded WR position when they still have even't signed their QB. if i am Dak i am sitting back and laughing at Jer now.
Ok, you have been saying this for awhile...I hope your wrong but a lot of eagle fans wanted him...time will tell

i remember last year after the Dillard pick i thought Howie had it made and was ahead of everybody. So yeah, touting after drafts is always good for a chuckle

And taking Reagor where we did and not trading back likely cost us a player or two. That is my point. There was an opportunity cost to 'reaching' on Reagor which makes the pick that much more scrutinized.
Yes, we can play the we don't know how much it would have cost game (2 players seems expensive, at least 2 starter level players seems expensive) or how long Reagor would have lasted. I can just go off the public information we have and most of them didn't have Reagor this high.
It clearly seems that Howie didn't think trading up for Lamb was worth it or losing Reagor by trading back was worth it. So by that, it would seem to indicate that he didn't see a huge difference between the two. Or he got himself stuck in a corner and needed a WR regardless of the situation.

I’m not sore at all. But if you’re going to say something about a guy be right about it. You keep moving the goalposts of your argument over and over and over. So you want to go ahead and site college competition right? Now show your work.
I can do it for you. There’s simply no correlation to college competition equaling a players ability to play at the professional level.
If you want to argue his tape, or even highlight reels go ahead. Again, show me. He can’t catch right?? I’ve shown videos of contested, tough, “big guy”catches from him. “He only ran a 4.whatever”...what’s his tape look like?
Loon at his build. Solid. Look at his other measurables. Great.
Im not saying this is Moss, we’ll see what he ends up being. But as it stands today we got (IMO) a top WR. Does it sting that we could have had Lamb? Damn right. But this is the next best thing IMO.

And where was Brady? Look at all the guys who were drafted above him that everyone thought were great. I liked Hill long before a lot of people knew who he was. I saw him at Oak State then I followed his W Alabama career as best as I could. I thought he was talented but dropped do to Red flags like the domestic incident. Again you seem butthurt a lot of us didn't like the pick. I don't know why. You know him personally, friends of the family, he related to you in some way, a TCU fan. You seem to be taking some of us not liking this pick to personally. We're trying to figure out why that is.

Yea it sucks, but that's what happens when you're Dallas, have the division in your grasp and yet lose an Eagles team with backups at every spot. You get to pick higher.

We’ll never know if he had a chance to go up or not. I’d like to think he did but will never know.
We’d also never know who else wanted him between 21 and 53.
When I said 2 players I meant 2 picks that it would have costed to move up.
Maybe he didn’t see a difference in Lamb and Raegor? Actual teams thought 2 guys were better than him and many had Lamb as the lock to be nowhere near us. It gets very murky when factoring in what others thought would happen.
Its all done now. The only information I have to go off of is what happened. And with that said, we picked a position of need and I’m totally fine with that.
