After landing an instant starter in TCU wide receiver Jalen Reagor, here are three under the radar prospects the Philadelphia Eagles could target on Day 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft.

One day in and the Philadelphia Eagles are already being declared one of the biggest winners of the 2020 NFL Draft.

While some may have questioned the decision to draft Jalen Reagor 21st overall when CeeDee Lamb started to fall, and Justin Jefferson was still on the board, it’s safe to say we can cross slot receiver off the Eagles’ wish list heading into Day 2.

Side note: Despite what some would have you believe, Reagor is not the second coming of Nelson Agholor. I just don’t get that comparison at all, as Reagor is the best pure deep threat in this year’s class, and Agholor, well, did this against the Atlanta Falcons.

Anyway, after a rather surprising string of picks made to close out the first round, with certified-second rounders like Jordyn Brooks, Noah Igbinoghene, and Clyde Edwards-Helaire sneaking into the first round, and assumed first-round players like Denzel Mims, Xavier McKinney, and D’Andre Swift left unpicked, Day 2 has a ton of quality players who could drop down the board into the mid-30s and even the low 40s.

Players like Curtis Weaver, Ross Blacklock, and Grant Delpit probably won’t make it to the middle of the second round. Still, their availability on Day 2 will surely push better players down boards and give the Eagles two more chances to select potential starters at 53 and 103.

But who should the Eagles select?

Honestly, beats me. I may have called Reagor at 21, but I am by no means a draft guru. I am, however, a huge fan of evaluating prospects, especially ones who are tailor-made for the Eagles’ scheme. So here are three under-the-radar players who could be good value gets for the Eagles on Day 2.
