We’re just hours from kickoff at the 2020 Reese’s Senior Bowl and with the Eagles holding 10 picks in the NFL draft, it’ll be imperative for Howie Roseman and company to evaluate the best senior talent in America.
With the Eagles needing an upgrade at wide receiver, the 2020 class presents the deepest group of draft-eligible wideouts seen in years.
The Eagles need speed, big-play dynamics and the ability to take the top off a defense. With those needs and more present, here are five wideouts for the Eagles to watch on Saturday.
***
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 229 pounds, Claypool will give Eagles fans Deja Vu about JJ Arcega-Whiteside, but Claypool is a big-bodied wide receiver who can create space and win the jump ball.

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