The Eagles and first-round pick Jalen Reagor have reached agreement on a deal, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. Once finalized, the wide receiver will be set to earn $13.3MM over the course of his four-year contract.
Early on, Reagor was mocked as a second- to third-round pick. But, as the draft approached, the TCU speedster bolted up draft boards around the league. The Eagles pounced on him at No. 21 overall, giving them a potent deep threat who can take the baton from DeSean Jackson.
“I feel like I’m a great vertical threat. I can run any route in the route tree. I’m an electric player. I’ll make an immediate impact when given the chance,” Reagor said earlier this year (via the team website). “So, I’m coming in ready to work and ready to learn. I’m a great teammate and I won’t be a cancer to the locker room. Ultimately, I just show love, and I’m going to continue to elevate my game and continue to try to grow and become a better player.”
The 5-foot-11, 195-pound receiver stood out with a 1,000-yard campaign in 2018. Last year, he posted 43 catches for 611 yards and five touchdowns.
Here’s the full rundown of the Eagles’ draft class, via PFR’s tracker:
1-21: Jalen Reagor, WR (TCU): Signed
2-53: Jalen Hurts, QB (Oklahoma)
3-103: Davion Taylor, LB (Colorado)
4-127: K’Von Wallace, S (Clemson)
4-145: Jack Driscoll, G (Auburn)
5-168: John Hightower, WR (Boise State)
6-196: Shaun Bradley, LB (Temple)
6-200: Quez Watkins, WR (Southern Miss): Signed
6-210: Prince Tega Wanogho, T (Auburn): Signed
7-233: Casey Toohill, DE (Stanford)
I’m still a bit perplexed by this pick. I feel as though they could’ve traded down for Reagor and I’m not sure they needed yet another deep threat with Jackson, Goodwin, Watkins, and Hightower already in the fold. On the other hand, the poor QB play at TCU might’ve lowered his stock
Goodwin was acquired on Day 2 of the draft. Hightower was drafted in Round 5 and Watkins in round 6. si none of those three were “in the fold” prior to the Reagor pick.
I’m aware, but you figured they were going to make those moves regardless
how could they have been sure those two WRs wouldbe there when they were selecting?
I thought Howie would have learned his lesson from taking Arcega-Whiteside over Metcalf then he goes out and picks this guy over Justin Jefferson. When people are saying “why do the Eagles have such bad WR depth” again at this time next year, look no further than those 2 picks.
Hope he stays off social media,gives off bad vibes sounds like it’s all about him I wish they had taken Jefferson.
