Reagor was traded for draft picks after disappointing as a first-round selection in his two seasons with the Eagles.
Considering the resources expended to select Jalen Reagor, it’s impossible to give the Eagles a thumbs up for ridding themselves of himIt doesn’t take the benefit of hindsight to find flaws in the team’s decision to take Reagor over Justin Jefferson, Brandon Aiyuk, Michael Pittman, and a handful of other talented wideouts who have gone on to produce in the NFL. Reagor felt like a reach then, and that’s bore itself out over the last few seasons.
That said, the Eagles were wise to give Reagor a fresh start elsewhere. Things reached a point last season where it seemed the 23-year-old needed to start over. He dealt with multiple tragedies in his life and had a challenging relationship with frustrated fans. Even if he turns his career around in Minnesota, it was the right time to move on for the Eagles. That said, trading him shouldn’t be viewed as an outright win for the organization.While a conditional 2024 fourth-round pick, paired with a 2023 seventh-round selection, might look like an attractive return at first glance, the reality is Reagor is still a formerpick.
It also should be noted that Reagor’s struggles — paired with the whiffed second-round selection of JJ Arcega-Whiteside just one year earlier — played a huge role in general manager Howie Roseman pursuing additional star power at wide receiver. The Eagles drafted former Heisman Trophy award winner DeVonta Smith with their top pick in last year’s draft, and they added A.J. Brown in the offseason.
