Round 2, Pick 48 (via Jets): K.J. Hamler, WR, PSU
*Trade*
Eagles receive Pick 48
New York Jets receive Pick 53, Pick 140, and WR Alshon Jeffery
Hello! Yup, you read that right. The Eagles have been on a support tour at the combine for Alshon Jeffery, but they aren’t fooling anyone. They want him gone and the New York Jets are the best bet. This would be a great move by Jets’ General Manager Joe Douglas. He would only move back 5 picks while adding Jeffery and another Pick (Pick 140).
For the Eagles, they get rid of the headache, locker room cancer, and a player with a disastrous contract and then they get to add one of my favorite receivers in the draft, former Penn State stud K.J. Hamler.
Hamler would add tons of speed to the Eagles offense, while also giving Wentz another weapon he can trust. Hamler may hear his name earlier than this, but his size may allow him to slide on draft day. I think the Eagles will definitely move up on Day 2 of the draft and Hamler could be their target.
Adding Jefferson and Hamler in the first two rounds would be huge for the Eagles and their star quarterback. You may be thinking that both receivers can only play slot receiver, but head coach Doug Pederson is as creative as they come and can move both of these guys all over the field.
