Round 2, Pick 44 (via Indianapolis): K.J. Hamler, WR, PSU

*Trade*

Eagles receive Pick 44

Colts receive Pick 53, Pick 145, and WR Alshon Jeffery

K.J. Hamler to the Eagles is a pick that’s gaining steam around NFL Circles.

Hamler is exactly what the Eagles offense is missing and he will plug in Day 1 and be an instant impact player.

Hamler has elite, game-breaking speed, matched with elite quickness and athleticism. He will get knocked for his size and his high number of drops in college, but his route running and game-changing ability overrule any flaws in his game.

Even though Hamler will not be a 100-catch, 1,000-yard guy; he will be a weapon that Wentz can trust and that can help win football games. The Eagles do not need a legitimate No. 1 receiver, mainly because tight end Zach Ertz is the No. 1 guy. They need to add more formidable weapons and Hamler will become an instant fan favorite with his competitive nature and big play-ability.

There is still some uncertainty about what the Eagles will do with wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, but my best bet would be they try and trade him during the draft to a team that is familiar with him. The Indianapolis Colts make a ton of sense and Jeffery would be a solid target for Philip Rivers.
