Philadelphia Eagles: 7 round 2017 NFL mock draft
By Ryan Quigley
Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern Washington
Yes, two receivers in the first three rounds of the draft.
The Eagles enter the offseason completely focused on building around quarterback Carson Wentz. Howie Roseman said Wentz could play a significant role in who the Eagles bring in during the offseason. If that holds true, Kupp would make sense in Philadelphia.
At Tuesday’s Senior Bowl weigh-in, Kupp was seen wearing an AO1 T-shirt, which has become a rallying cry started by Wentz in the Eagles’ locker room. Wentz and Kupp also share the same agent.
The 6’2″ receiver lacks speed, but makes up for it with crisp routes and an uncanny ability to pick up yards after the catch. Kupp tallied 428 receptions for 6,464 yards and 73 touchdowns in four years at Eastern Washington, which are all career FCS records.
