Philadelphia Eagles: 7 round 2017 NFL mock draft
By Ryan Quigley
Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan
Davis could very well be the most complete receiver available in this year’s draft. Davis is the all-time FBS leader with 5,205 career receiving yards and leaves Western Michigan as the only receiver in FBS history with over 300 receptions, 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns in a career.
At 6’3″ and 215 pounds, Davis has the size and strength of a No. 1 receiver and also has the speed and elusiveness to generate yards after the catch. Davis’ game is more rounded out than any other receiver in this year’s draft class, but playing his college ball at a smaller school could impact where he gets taken.
CBS Sports projects Davis to be selected in the first round of the draft. Several other receiver-needy teams are picking ahead of the Eagles, but it seems more than plausible that Davis could fall in Philadelphia’s lap. If that’s the case, the Eagles will have finally found the blue-chip prospect they desperately need at wideout.
