The 2020 NFL Combine is over and the now the Eagles will spend the next two months evaluating and scouting via tapes, interviews and pro days.
Philadelphia will utilize free agency to help retool the roster, but the future will be built via the draft, where the Eagles have the opportunity to land an impact wideout in the first round.
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.
2. Chase Claypool, WR, Notre Dame
Considered a second- or third-round pick before the 2020 NFL Combine, Claypool brought back visions of Calvin Johnson with his movements.
At 6-foot-4 and 238 pounds, Claypool posted the seventh-fastest 40-yard dash in this group at 4.42 seconds. He’s strong, can jump out the gym and could be an option for the Eagles if they move on from Alshon Jeffery.
3. Neville Gallimore,, DT, Oklahoma
The powerful defensive linemen showed some jets posting a 4.79 yard-dash time and the Oklahoma star flashed some pass-rush potential and displayed quickness for his size.
4. K’Von Wallace, S, Clemson:
With the Eagles possibly needing to replace both safeties, Wallace secured a solid day 2 selection for himself with his performance. He clocked a 4.53 40 at 206 pounds while also excelling in the jumps (38-inch vertical, 11-1 broad jump).
5. Jeremy Chinn, S, Southern Illinois:
Like Wallace, Chinn is a big kid (6-3, 221), but he moves well, has some quick-twitch ability and a 41-inch vertical to show.
Chinn also clocked an impressive 4.45 40.
6. Michael Pittman, WR, USC:
Pittman was clocked under the 7.00-second threshold in the three-cone drill at 6-4 and 223 pounds and followed that with a 4.52 40-yard dash and 36.5-inch vertical.
He comes from great stock and could be a second-day option.
7. Troy Pride, CB, Notre Dame:
Solid at the Senior Bowl Pride continued to impress scouts with his 4.40 40-yard dash and sharp on-field drills.
Pride displays great ball skills and fluid-hips for a cornerback.
8.Denzel Mims Baylor
Mims opened a lot of eyes with a 4.38 Thursday night and after generally being considered a second-round talent before the Combine, the physical 6-3, 210-pound wideout could push himself into the first round.
9. Gabriel Davis, WR, Central Florida
In Davis’ final season at UCF, he racked up 1,241 yards and 12 touchdowns on 72 receptions and led the Knights in all three categories.
A freakish performer when you watch the game film, Davis impressed in person, posting a 4.54 in the 40 with a 35-inch vertical.
He definitely established himself as a second-day prospect.
10.Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR, Michigan
Standing 6-foot-2, the Michigan Wolverines star impressed with a 44.5-inch vertical, and his 139-inch broad jump tied for the longest among all receivers.
Not as polished as some of his other counterparts, Peoples-Jones definitely has that explosive factor the Eagles are searching for.
