The NFL draft is now just under two weeks away and although the intrigue has been about what the Eagles will do with their first-round pick, there’s plenty of drama surrounding the second-round as well.
The Eagles will again have pick No. 53 and if Howie Roseman chooses to stand pat, there are a number of intriguing options, including a bevy of talented wide receivers.
The Eagles could choose to go cornerback, safety or linebacker with the pick as well.
We’ve provided a list of ten players the Birds could target in round two of the 2020 NFL Draft.

1. Chase Claypool, WR, Notre Dame
Considered a second- or third-round pick before the 2020 NFL Combine, Claypool brought back visions of Calvin Johnson with his movements.

He joins @CalvinJohnsonjr as the only wideout 6’4” & 235 pounds or bigger to run a sub-4.45.

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.
Claypool is strong, can jump out the gym and could be an option for the Eagles if they move on from Alshon Jeffery.
