Baylor WR Denzel Mims drawing serious interest from the Eagles?

Denzel Mims on the Philadelphia Eagles NFL Draft radar

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to embark on a retool of their roster and wide receiver will be a key position of need as the NFL draft nears.

The Eagles have been linked to all the top names in the draft but it appears a fast-rising stud from Baylor could be the preferred player of choice if the Birds choose to stay in the 20s.

During a recent sitdown with Matt Mosley of ESPN 1660, Mims talked about the predraft process and named the Eagles as one of the franchises that have shown him the most interest.

A Texas native, Mims has the size, speed, and range for a wide receiver and will only get better as he progresses as a pro.

Mims creates instant separation with great hands, something that was missing out of the Eagles receivers last season.

Mims makes contested catches and does a good job of tracking the ball.

There were several players that impressed at Lucas Oil Field and with the Eagles having several holes to fill, here are 10 potential draft targets that raised their stock.

1. Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU

LSU’s star wideout eliminated any doubts about his speed, running a 4.43-second 40-yard dash while excelling in the gauntlet and endzone fade drill.

Jefferson firmly entrenched himself in the first round with his performance and the Eagles could truly have a dynamic slot receiver.

1. Chase Claypool, Notre Dame

A stud at Notre Dame, Claypool finished his final season in South Bend with 66 receptions for 1,037 yards and 13 touchdowns. At 6-4 and 238 pounds, Claypool will give Eagles fans Deja Vu about JJ Arcega-Whiteside, but Claypool is a big-bodied wide receiver who can create space, win the jump ball and could transition to tight end as well.

He can get better at route running and there are the questions about his speed, quickness, and ability to separate from NFL cornerbacks.
