With the 2020 NFL Draft approaching, we revisit every wide receiver the Philadelphia Eagles have selected since 2010.

Here’s a controversial statement. If you remove the wide receivers and cornerbacks that have been taken during NFL Drafts that were overseen by Howie Roseman, the Philadelphia Eagles haven’t done that bad of a job at finding young talent. It isn’t perfect, but it isn’t a total tragedy either.

The unfortunate part of all of that is this. You can’t remove the wide receivers and cornerbacks from those drafts. It’s ridiculous to do so. The Eagles’ story can’t be told without including that detail. For whatever reason, this team just can’t find capable wide receivers and cover guys. That has to change when the next selection meeting rolls around in April.

Once the smoke clears and the dust settles, the ‘Birds’ will be probably awarded compensatory picks and they’ll have about ten total draft choices. Many believe when they’re on the clock at pick 21, the selection of a wide receiver is what we’ll see.

Truthfully, it will be wise for them to take at least two with those ten picks, but they’ll have to do a better job than they’ve done over the past decade in terms of evaluating talent.

Aah, the memories of past failures. Let’s reserve a moment and take one final gander at the receivers that have gotten the call from Philly during the NFL’s annual selection meeting. Buckle up (or take a seat for the faint of heart). This won’t be pretty.
