Five Underrated Draft Prospects The Philadelphia Eagles Should Target

Keyarris Garrett, WR, Tulsa

The Eagles signed Rueben Randle and Chris Givens to one-year contracts earlier this month, so wide receiver isn’t nearly as big a need as it was before the free agency period. However, neither Randle or Givens are guaranteed to be long-term contributors for the Eagles and if Garrett is available in the third or fourth round, the Eagles should seriously consider selecting him, regardless of whether or not they need him or not.

Garrett is easily one of the most underrated players in the draft. His college career has been riddled by injuries, but he’s a game-changer when he’s on the field. As a redshirt senior in 2015, Garrett led the nation with 1,588 yards on 96 receptions for eight touchdowns.

Part of what makes Garrett such an attractive prospect is his size. At 6’3″, 220 pounds, Garrett is the embodiment of a true number one receiver. He has the length to win in contested catches and the speed to fly past the secondary. His lateral quickness is inconsistent, but he has shown the ability to work the middle of the field at a competent level. Garrett’s ball concentration is terrific and it’s rare to see him get beat one-on-one in man coverage.

Garrett brings a ton of value to the table and even though the Eagles have some bigger needs to address, he would have a place on Philadelphia’s roster.
