Blaine Grisak’s Prediction:

Breshad Perriman, Wide Receiver, Central Florida

With the 20th overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft I have the Philadelphia Eagles taking Breshad Perriman. While I feel like Eagles fans won’t like this pick, I do believe it’s the right pick. I dont think Chip Kelly would take Marcus Peters do to his character issues and I dont think Landon Collins is much of a fit in their scheme.

Offensive line is an option, but this draft is deep in that regard and the the Eagles have lost DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin in back to back offseasons. I personally witnessed Sam Bradford struggle without weapons in St. Louis, they must put playmakers around him.

He’s big, he’s fast, he’s exactly what Chip Kelly wants at wide receiver. Perriman averaged 20.9 yards per catch last season and 20.8 yards the year before. This guy is a playmaker. The Eagles significantly improved their defense in free agency, now they need to give the offense some weapons and Perriman is exactly that.
