The Philadelphia Eagles are prepared to add some serious playmakers to the offense during the NFL Draft, but the drama set to unfold is centered on which receiver they’ll target.
NFL.com’s Lance Zierlin completed his final mock draft and he has the Eagles landing Jalen Reagor from TCU at No. 21 overall.
His reasoning for the pick might surprise a few people.
No. 21 – Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU
This might be a surprising selection to some, but sources say the Eagles are enamored with Reagor’s speed and explosive potential as a three-level target for Carson Wentz.
Reagor has been mentioned in NFL draft circles as a playmaker who could bring a much-needed boost to the Eagles deep passing game.
Reagor finished the 2019 season with 43 receptions for 611 yards and 5 touchdowns. Those were solid numbers, but the not the All Big-12 stats many had come to expect.
His drop percentage is among the highest compared with the big-4, but he could be the dynamic playmaker the Eagles have lacked since drafting DeSean Jackson.
Reagor is one of the better kick and punt returning options in the draft as well.
