3. Chase Claypool could be an option
We mentioned the former Notre Dame stud as an option for the Eagles and if they choose not to go wideout with their first pick, then he could be a value pick in the second round.

At 6-4, 240-pounds with the ability to line up as a tight end, Claypool may have given coaches pause about a position change after he ran a 4.42, making him the first receiver over 230 pounds to run sub-4.45 since Calvin Johnson in 2007.
Notre Dame wide receiver Chase Claypool was one of the biggest winners of the day, finishing with a 97 Athleticism Score per the Next Gen Stats Draft Model.
