The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine kicked off on Monday, but the most important part of the week – the workouts – begins tonight in prime time.
Eagles executive vice president/general manager Howie Roseman and his staff are projected to have 10 picks to work with during the NFL draft and with the goal being to retool and get younger, Philadelphia is set to infuse youth and talent.
With the deepest wide receiver class in draft history all in Indianapolis, here are 7 different wideouts for the Birds to watch at the Combine.
***
1. Chase Claypool, Notre Dame
A stud at Notre Dame, Claypool finished his final season in South Bend with 66 receptions for 1,037 yards and 13 touchdowns. At 6-4 and 238 pounds, Claypool will give Eagles fans Deja Vu about JJ Arcega-Whiteside, but Claypool is a big-bodied wide receiver who can create space, win the jump ball and could transition to tight end as well.

He can get better at route running and there are the questions about his speed, quickness, and ability to separate from NFL cornerbacks.
