Eagles could benefit from QB’s, offensive tackles dominating first dozen picks in NFL Draft

Eagles could land WR they covet in the draft thanks to QBs, OT going early

The NFL Draft is a little over a week away and the Philadelphia Eagles will have some interesting decisions to make when it comes to landing a wide receiver they covet.

The Eagles could trade up, they could stand pat at No. 21 or decide or to trade back and acquire more picks to draft a receiver in the second or third round.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, the Eagles could be in a position to land their player of choice thanks to a heavy run of offensive linemen and quarterbacks likely to be selected in the first 10 or 12 picks.

Offensive tackles like Tristan Wirfs (Iowa), Jedrick Wills Jr. (Alabama), Mekhi Becton (Louisville) and Andrew Thomas (Georgia) are all certain to go in the top-10 to teams looking to protect young signal-callers.

Quarterbacks like Joe Burrows (LSU), Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama), Justin Herbert (Oregon) and Jordan Love (Utah State) could also make things interesting in the top-10 for NFL clubs looking to land a signal-caller.

The more teams that forgo a wide receiver to select a tackle or quarterback, the better the Birds chances of landing their dream wideout.
