The Eagles early offseason work came almost two weeks ago as free agency opened with the addition of two wide receivers. Adding Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith certainly addressed an obvious need for the Eagles moving forward.
When the addition of Smith didn’t deter the Eagles from continuing to play the market and land Jeffery, many would believe that two new receivers would shift the Eagles draft focus elsewhere.
But not so fast. Just because the Eagles added two receivers doesn’t mean they are not in the market for another come draft day.
Before the Eagles free-agency splash, the names were already being thrown around: Mike Williams, Corey Davis, John Ross. These are three receivers projected to go in the first round of the NFL Draft on April 27. The Eagles have already had visits with all three.
Williams stole the show for Clemson in their National Championship win over Alabama with eight catches for 96 yards and a touchdown. Williams had a career year in his junior season at Clemson, with 98 catches for 1,361 yards and 11 touchdowns. Williams certainly fits the Eagles mold, but his appeal may take him off the board long before the Eagles pick.
Ross turned heads at the Combine, running a 4.22 40, a new record. But his numbers at Washington weren’t too shabby either to the tune of 81 catches for 1,150 yards and 17 touchdowns. Still, Ross may be a bit of a reach at the Eagles pick at 14th overall, projecting to be more of a mid-to-late first round pick, right around the 20th overall mark.
And then there’s Davis, the Western Michigan product who has flown under the radar a bit in light of Williams’ National Championship performance and Ross’ 40 time. Davis actually topped both Williams and Ross by the numbers, with 97 catches for 1,500 yards and 19 touchdowns.
Simply put, the addition of two notable wide receivers through free agency does not rule the Eagles out on any of those three first-round projected wide receivers.
It’s almost definite that the Eagles will use at least one of their picks on a wide receiver next month. When is the question. The Eagles don’t have as great a need for a receiver as they did two weeks ago, now that Jeffery and Smith are in the fold. But with each on one-year deals, a little stability can go a long way, and with the Eagles looking to the two new additions to serve as leaders, bringing in a high-profile fresh face from the college ranks could be of interest.
The Eagles may have greater needs come draft time, but the appeal of another top-notch wide receiver could be enough to change things around. It is certainly in play, even with the team’s moves so far.
