The NFL Draft is almost two weeks away and the intrigue surrounding the leagues’ selection process is certain to ratchet up with the announcement that format will have a virtual, “fantasy football” feel to it.
Draft Wire just released its latest three-round mock and the Eagles address some needs, landing a fast-rising wide receiver, one of the top safeties available and Jason Kelce’s eventual replacement at center.
21. Philadelphia Eagles
Denzel Mims | WR | Baylor
After filling their biggest need on defense by trading for Darius Slay, the Eagles free themselves up to do the same for their offense with this pick. Mims backed up his strong film by blowing up the NFL Scouting Combine, showing off the size and athleticism it takes to be a top target at the next level.53. Philadelphia Eagles | Jeremy Chinn | S | Southern Illinois
103. Philadelphia Eagles | Nick Harris | OL | Washington
The selection of Mims would ensure that analyst were correct about him moving up draft boards, while the Eagles would either have the steal of the NFL draft or likely face more criticism for passing on guys like Brandon Aiyuk, Laviska Shenault, Chase Claypool, Jalen Reagor, Justin Jefferson, and others.
