PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles heard the fans' cries for a wide receiver, and selected one in the first round on Thursday night.

The team selected WR Jalen Reagor from TCU with the 21st choice in the first round.

Reagor, 21, caught 43 balls for 611 yards and 5 TD's in 2019.

However, with a better team in 2018, Reagor posted 72 catches for 1061 yards and 9 TD's.

With the blazing speed he possesses, Reagor has the ability to line up on the outside, in the slot or even out of the backfield.

Ultimately, the team hopes Reagor becomes one of QB Carson Wentz's favorite weapons.

The NFL Draft will resume on Friday night at 7:00 p.m. E.T.
