The NFL has become a semi race-track for offense around the league.
A playground for quarterbacks with multiple dynamic and explosive weapons, Carson Wentz is a few deep-threats away from having the type of seasons that Patrick Mahomes has on a regular basis.
With a historic draft class for wide receivers and the Eagles possessing 10 picks, Howie Roseman has a rare opportunity to “double-dip” or select multiple guys that can do a variety of different things.
The Eagles are returning Greg Ward, JJ Arcega-Whiteside and DeSean Jackson at wide receiver for sure. Alshon Jeffery’s presence on the roster will be determined in the coming weeks, but it’s clear that the Eagles will look to add a wide receiver in free agency and should look to add at minimum, two in the draft.
ESPN.com recently broke down the receiving class by tier, and regardless of if the Eagles decide to take a wideout in the first round or wait until the second, they have the opportunity to land big-play guys who do dynamic things.
If the Eagles choose to trade up and draft Henry Ruggs or stand pat and draft a player like Justin Jefferson, they still have the opportunity to add the same caliber of players in the second or third rounds.
Guys like Brandon Aiyuk of Arizona State, KJ Hamler of Penn State, Jalen Reagor of TCU, Devin Duvernay of Texas, Van Jefferson of Florida, Chase Claypool of Notre Dame and KJ Hill of Ohio State are all top-100 caliber players who the Eagles could add to a first-round pick on offense.
If the Eagles choose to go defense at No. 21, they could still with their second or third-round pick or two possible seconds if they make a trade, still acquire two of the guys just mentioned if not more.
Guys like Gabriel Davis of Central Florida, Antonio Gandy-Golden of Liberty and Bryan Edwards of South Carolina are also guys that the Eagles could target in later rounds and still add value to the class.
