The NFL draft is just 11 days away and although the Philadelphia Eagles will look to add some high profile wide receivers with their eight picks.
We all know the big names of Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, and Henry Ruggs, but there talented wide receivers in this draft and the Eagles can find a player from round-one through round-seven.
The Eagles don’t have a pick in every round but in case of some wheeling and dealing, we decided to project one wide receiver from every round that the Eagles could target.
***
Round 1. Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU
If the Eagles stay put at pick No. 21 and Jefferson is available, the birds won’t go wrong with the former LSU star.
Jefferson is a fast and elusive playmaker who caught 111 passes for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns for the nation’s No. 1 team.
Round 2. Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU
A 5 foot 11 dynamo, Reagor has the speed to stretch NFL defenses and could give the Eagles an option in the passing game that they’ve lacked since DeSean Jackson was drafted.
Reagor is one of the better kick and punt returning options in the draft as well.
Round 3. Bryan Edwards, WR, South Carolina
Standing 6-3, 212 pounds, Edwards is a physical wide receiver in the mold of Alshon Jeffery.
Edwards is a crafty route runner for a bigger wide receiver, who has reliable hands and knows how to beat press coverage.
Round 4. K.J. Hill, WR, Ohio State
Hill put on a route-running clinic at the Senior Bowl and after the rookie season Terry McLaurin had for the Redskins, Hill won’t be under-evaluated by scouts because of his Buckeyes pedigree.
Round 5. Gabriel Davis, WR, UCF
Davis has all the skills to become a difference-maker in the NFL.
In 2018, he started 12 of 13 games and had 53 receptions for 815 yards and seven touchdowns.
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.
Round 6. Binjimen Victor, WR, Ohio State
Victor is an intriguing mid to late-round prospect and his Buckeye DNA will give him the benefit of the doubt when breaking down his tape and abilities on the outside.
Although not a star at Ohio State, Victor is a crisp route runner who is fluid coming out of the break with very sure hands. As a Senior for the Big 10 Champions, Victor had 35 catches for 573 yards and six touchdowns.
Round 7. Aaron Parker-Isaiah Coulter, WR, Rhode Island (Duo)
It can’t be a package deal, but both Parker and Coulter are highly productive wideouts who’ll find a place in the NFL.
This past season, the dynamic duo became just the second pair of Rhode Island players to amass 1,000+ yards in the same season.
