Remember Rick Spielman? He was the Vikings GM who laughed at us for picking Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson. Well it turns out he liked Jalen Reagor too, and spoke about the topic on a recent Inside the Birds appearance:

 

“The one thing that was really intriguing is that he added value as a kick off and punt returner as well.”

Oh yea?

Now somehow the guy that selected Justin Jefferson is the one without a job. Isn’t life fair? Listen, the NFL draft a lot of the time is a crapshoot. Rick Spielman is looked at in league circles as an above average drafter. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t fuck up. For every Stefon Diggs you draft in the 5th round there’s Laquon Treadwell in the 1st. He signed Adam Thielen as an UDFA, but he could’ve also been in the same position as the Eagles if Howie Roseman learned the Golden Rule a year earlier: “Draft SEC wideouts.” If you can take anything positive from that clip, Spielman mentioned that Reagor could still break out in year 3. I don’t see it, but he’s not the first one to say it:
