What’s hard to dispute is the theory that Jerry Jeudy will probably be the most-coveted wide receiver throughout the draft process and when the annual league selection meeting begins at the end of April. It’s very difficult to find something to criticize.

He has the size. He’s six-foot-one and tips the scales at 192 pounds. He’s also a speedster. He’s expected to run a sub-4.5 40-yard dash in February’s Combine. Jeudy racked up 77 receptions for 1,163 yards and he reached the end zone ten times in 2019.

No one wants to get ahead of themselves, but it’s hard not to look at this guy and start thinking about Alabama Crimson Tide receivers like Julio Jones and Amari Cooper. Yes, he’s that good. He may not be around if Philly decides to stay put and make their selection at 21, but with ten possible picks, it may not hurt to trade up. We’ll have to wait and see if that’s a theory the ‘Birds’ are tossing around on their end.
