That Saints schedule doesn't get any easier either - they still have to play Cincy, Arizona, LV, Baltimore, LAR, SF, TB, Cleveland and us. It's likely going to end up being a very high pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will come to this forum with the sole purpose to remind you all that Jalen Reagor sucks and that you all wanted him (over what is probably going to be a top 5 WR of all time) and made the very few of us that didn't out like we had no idea what we were talking about. The revisionist history swings both ways, no one thought Jefferson was going to be a top nfl wideout, let alone put up the numbers he has. It doesn’t invalidate people wanting him less than Reagor. But it wasn’t some chasmic divide in reality back when it happened. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jroc04 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I haven’t seen anyone deny their pre draft love for Reagor. And think most everyone have been honest about how much he sucked and how wrong we were. I know I have. I fell in that trap of needing the burner WR and Jefferson was just a slot WR noise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this idea that people were saying Jefferson was going to be trash and Reagor was going to be the best has gone way too far. I think most people were ok with Jefferson, they just didn't think he fit what we needed. It was the obvious wrong pick in hindsight, but this idea that no one thought Jefferson would be even remotely good has definitely swung too far. People misjudge players in the draft all the time. I mean look how far Jefferson fell down the board for the Eagles to even have a chance at picking him lol. Lots of people missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 I will say though, how long does Geno have to play well/better than Russ for me to cash in on liking him coming out in 2013? lol Does it depreciate after a decade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was that decade's reminder of "Best Player available > fit" Fit should be much less of a concern. I'll be the first one to admit. I thought Jefferson would be a solid #2 type of guy, but he'd be limited into where he could fit, and at that time we has way too much talent in the slot, but look how quickly fit can change? Just see the last two years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Also, let's slow our roll on the notion of "Top 5 WR of all time" He might not be the best WR from his College team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Nothing new, but man...if they somehow get Anderson because of the Saints pick. I'll end my grudge against that team. All the times they hurt us, how annoying they have been for like 15 years. All is forgiven. Just haven't watched him for awhile and its so clear how good he's gonna be.

I didn't like Reagor. I wanted lamb JJ or Aiyuk I believe was the 3rd. Lamb being the #1 must and gonna be let down if we didn't get him. I did hope Reagor would've been like DJack after we selected him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboys going WR with Cooper and Gallup was unexpected for me. Still though, Eagles could have been more active and getting a top level prospect. The reach is clear now but even then Jeudy and Lamb were more polished receivers. That was never in question. Reagor just seemed to check the boxes that we needed at the time. They desperately needed someone to stretch the field with a two tight end set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time that was definitely the right move for us, undoubtedly, but if we did that we would be stuck with Carson right now. Would have been nice to take Jefferson, but let's be real we were all wrong about that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceedee has been fine but has had some bumps, but not getting Hurts means we aren’t in the position we are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viewing JJ as nothing more then a slot WR, was absolutely a monumental mistake by Howie and his Scouts. But that's Howie in a nutshell. Always trying to recreate 2017. 🤷♂️ Reagor (speedster)> Jefferson JJAW (Alshon) > Metcalf Let's just be glad he learned from those mistakes.
