I dont mind the Raegor pick... there are some concerns about it and the more i think about it the more i think it's probably better for us than Jefferson

But holy f**k, how did we not trade up and get CeeDee Lamb when he was there beyond 15? Just f**king how??! It's got me so upset

Reagor is probably a better fit (it was the most realistic 'dream scenario' for the Eagles by my reckoning, anyway), but not getting Lamb as he dropped and having him land on the Cowboys is nasty.

Reagor seems like a much better fit than Jefferson, anyway. Dude is exactly what is needed... explosiveness and speed (his 40 is misleading, dude is f**king faaaast). I'd be interested to see the offense splits with/without DeSean Jackson on the field last year (for the very little time he was fit)... have a feeling it would be night and day. The wonder of speed.

If that’s got you upset, imagine supporting a team that passed on Lamb AND Jeudy.

I usually like Baldy, but the complaints over Raegor seem strange...
He wanted Jefferson, but Jefferson wasnt particularly great until he moved exclusively in the slot.

We dont need a slot WR, we've got Greg Ward who showed he can play there effectively, he's got that shiftiness needed to get in and out of breaks quickly.
We've got two great receiving TE's, and Miles Sanders... those guys can work the middle, no problem at all

What we need and what we lacked last year without Jackson is someone that can stretch the field, and force those safeties back a little bit to open up the middle.

Boobie, Boston and G Ward got dis.

Huge loss, at worst the 2nd best guard in the league.

I remember there was talk that JP would be willing to play guard if he stayed in philly, feels like this is all now set up to bring back JP, he can play RG next to Lane.. and then if Dillard shits the bed, JP slides straight back into LT as a bandaid and we try and get by with whoever at RG.

Coaching was a big part of it IMO, they went completely away from what worked in the 1st half
