Well, how many of you had it like this? Grab that loose-leaf paper that you were jotting your prospects’ names on. Delete all of those mock drafts that you’ve saved to your hard drives. Philadelphia Eagles fans everywhere have a lot to discuss.

Jefferson was selected a few moments later by the Minnesota Vikings at 22.

If you’re scratching your head or if you losing any sleep over the decision, don’t think you’re in the minority. If you’re thinking about the Eagles taking JJ Arcega-Whiteside over D.K. Metcalf in last year’s draft and how that worked out, you’re not alone on that either. This one will be discussed from now until the season begins in 2020.

Here are three immediate reactions, unfiltered and with no additives.
