In my opinion I think the Eagles got very lucky in their drafting of DeSean Jackson. They were drafting a PR and ended up with their #1 wide receiver. In the Reid system rookie WRs don't play, so his impact would strictly come on special teams.
Well injuries and Jackson being the best of the WR bunch allowed him to get right on the field. Smart move as Jackson has set numerous franchise rookie receiving records this season. Such luck could be a return favor for the crap WR draft picks of Reggie Brown and Freddie Mitchell. Regardless the Eagles finally have a true WR piece in place for many years to come.
The numbers and immediate impact are nice, but the greatest effect of Jackson will hopefully be seen this off-season.......
