The 2020 NFL Draft is less than two weeks away, and Pro Football Focus laid out the best-case scenario for all 32 teams in the seven-rounds.
The Eagles have been linked to a wide receiver since the season ended and Pro Football Focus kept it consistent, making a game-changing wideout the Birds best case.
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES – FILLING THE OBVIOUS NEED OF WIDE RECEIVER IN THE FIRST ROUND
There wasn’t a bigger disappointment of the 2019 season than the Eagles’ wide receivers. DeSean Jackson got hurt, Alshon Jeffery had his worst season as an Eagle in terms of PFF grade, Nelson Agholor posted one of the lowest grades at the position at 54.4 overall and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside generated a poor 53.3 receiving grade on his limited reps. The good news is they can fix this problem in this loaded draft class. Justin Jefferson is an intriguing option for Philadelphia at the 21st overall pick. While we aren’t as high on Jefferson as some, he is a solid route-runner with tremendous ball skills and can create after the catch.
The Eagles avoided addressing the position during free agency because they were satisfied with the pass catchers on the roster and because Howie Roseman knows he can land a dynamic playmaker in all seven rounds of the draft.
Philadelphia has been linked to Justin Jefferson, Denzel Mims and others with pick No. 21 and the team could choose to trade back.
Look for the Eagles to double-dip at the position, landing two skill pass catchers.
