Justin Jefferson among WR prospects who met with Eagles: 3 Reactions
By Erin Grugan
It appears that the Philadelphia Eagles have added Justin Jefferson to their draft board.
The expectation of quite a few writers and pundits is the Philadelphia Eagles will draft a wide receiver with their first-round pick. The theory is, unless they trade up, the chances of them landing CeeDee Lamb, and Jerry Jeudy is slim. Henry Ruggs III and Laviska Shenault may be in that next tier, guys who come off of draft boards in the 15 to 25 range, so where does that leave someone like Justin Jefferson?
It appears, at least on the surface, that the former LSU Tigers standout receiver isn’t the clear cut first-rounder that he once was. Now, before those of you who are Tigers fans grab the pitchforks, keep in mind the fact that no one is denying Jefferson’s talent.
Still, it’s doubtful that both Ruggs and Shenault are ignored during the first 21 selections, but if they do Philly needs to do their due diligence on a few guys that may be available if they aren’t.
Might Jefferson fall into that category? According to 94 WIP-FM’s Eliot Shorr-Parks, he’s already met with the ‘Birds’. Buckle up guys and gals. Here are three reactions.
