Laviska Shenault Jr. scouting report, potential fit with the Eagles

Here is a scouting report of former Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. and his potential fit with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Overall Impression: Shenault is a versatile weapon that teams will want. He is fast, explosive, and aggressive with the ball in his hands. He can play multiple positions and a team would be smart to allow that to continue in the NFL.

He will need to prove he can succeed as an NFL receiver but has a great building block to get there. His injuries are a red flag, but the biggest red flag is how many plays he takes off and his effort on plays he doesn’t get the ball.

Grade: Late Round 1, Early Round 2 (Picks 30-38)

Fit with the Eagles: Shenault would be a great weapon on the Eagles and it would be fun to watch Doug Pederson scheme up some plays for him. However, he is still a project, so patience will be key with Shenault. He will make impact plays for the Eagles in Year 1, but he will need to grow into an impact player in the NFL.

He will surely give Carson Wentz a weapon he can trust, but it is a mystery if Shenault can run good enough routes to become a No. 1 receiver. If the Eagles want him, they should be able to trade back in the first round to get him or trade up in the second round. He is not worthy of Pick 21 in my opinion because he is more of a projection than a sure thing.
