Vikings\' Justin Jefferson Expected Eagles To Draft Him 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Apr 22, 2021 12:12 pm

Justin Jefferson thought the Philadelphia Eagles were going to draft him 21st overall last spring, but they passed on him in favor of fellow wide receiver Jalen Reagor.

Jefferson then went 22nd overall to the Minnesota Vikings.

\"Leading up to the draft, you know, they had all of those mock drafts and people sharing their opinions on who is going to go where,\" Jefferson told GQ. \"A lot of people had me going to Philly. And, I thought I was going to Philly. Honestly. The funny part is, Philly was on the board and then Minnesota called me. At first, I thought it was Philly. But, I answered the phone and it was Minnesota. It\'s crazy how all of that happened and everything. But, I\'m definitely, definitely, definitely excited that I\'m on the Vikings rather than Philly.\"

Well, yeah, gotta be on the right side of your current team. And, of course, the Eagles suddenly suck.

But clearly the Eagles ******* up last year’s draft. Don’t expect anything better until Lurie finally fires Roseman.
