Round 2 Pick, 48 (From New York Jets): Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson
*Trade*
Eagles receive: Pick 48 (420)
Jets receive: Pick 53 (370), Pick 145 (33.5) (403.5 total), and 2021 6th round pick
The Eagles clearly need a No. 1 wide receiver, but after missing out on the top 4 guys, Eagles fans may be in panic mode. However, luckily for the Eagles, former Clemson star receiver Tee Higgins has become the forgotten man in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Higgins has somehow fallen very far in many people’s eyes, but don’t forget that Higgins is a star, who has all the qualities of a true No. 1 wide receiver.
If Higgins does fall to the 2nd round, which could happen, Howie Roseman needs to get aggressive to go get him. A lot of people will knock Higgins for his 40-yard dash times, but his film speaks volumes. Higgins runs by people and not only is he a great route runner, but he is also a guy that can make explosive plays down the field.
Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz would love to have Higgins as his No. 1 guy.
