With the 2019 NFL season officially over after the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl win, draft season is in full swing.
With the draft season in full swing, Todd McShay has rejoined the slew of analysts and scouts set to break down college football’s best players.
Last month, McShay released his first mock draft for the 2020 selection process and he predicted a Crimson Tide playmaker for the Eagles.
McShay just released his second mock on Tuesday morning, and he’s staying the course in his predictions, again sending Henry Ruggs III to the Eagles at pick No. 21.
21. Philadelphia Eagles
Henry Ruggs III, WR, AlabamaZero Eagles receivers found their way to 500 yards in 2019, Nelson Agholor is a free agent, Alshon Jeffery will be 30 in two weeks and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside had a limited 10-catch impact in his rookie campaign. Carson Wentz likes to air it out, but he didn’t have the right personnel to do so. Coach Doug Pederson thought he had an answer in the vertical game with DeSean Jackson, but an abdominal injury limited the veteran speedster to 62 snaps. Ruggs, though, is a human torch — he could run in the 4.2s at the combine — and immediately gives Wentz a weapon in the passing game outside of Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert and Miles Sanders.
Ruggs, Miles Sanders and a healthy DeSean Jackson could give the Eagles weapons that would present matchup nightmares for opposing defenses. If J.J. Arcega-Whiteside can take the next step and Alshon Jeffery can return, the Eagles would present a formidable offense, capable of giving any defense in the league fits.
McShay’s draft order came from using ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) and it will continue shift as the season winds down and draft positions change.
