player. 857. . . . Laviska Shenault .

School: Colorado Buffaloes

Let’s just assume that, when the Eagles are finally on the clock at 21, that Jerry Jeudy and CeeDee Lamb have already heard their names called. That means Philly will possibly be looking at three more guys who get first-round grades from the majority of pro scouts.

Laviska Shenault falls into that category. He isn’t as fast as some of the other guys we’ll be discussing over the next two months, but he’s got more top-end speed than any receiver Philly has not named DeSean Jackson. In a recent mock by Bucky Brooks, Shenault went to the Eagles at 21.

. player. 872. . . . Jalen Reagor

School: TCU Horned Frogs

Here’s a guy who may be one of those draft darlings because he can straight up fly. Expect to hear Eagles fans bringing Jalen Reagor‘s name up a lot. He’s a potential sub-4.5 40-yard dash guy who caught 43 passes for 611 yards and five touchdowns in 2019 while also proving he’s valuable as a punt returner.

. player. 829. . . . Henry Ruggs III

School: Alabama Crimson Tide

You won’t have to work hard to find a mock draft that has Henry Ruggs III going to the Philadelphia Eagles in Round 1. They’re all over the place, and to be honest, if things worked out in that fashion, there won’t be a ‘Birds’ fan on the planet that has a complaint.

He caught 40 passes for 746 yards and seven touchdowns in his final season at Tuscaloosa. Tide fans re definitely going to miss him.
