Philadelphia Eagles WR draft and free agent power rankings, March edition

You can make the argument for Jalen Reagor being a top-five wide receiver in this class. That mostly depends on the criteria you use to grade these guys, but if he isn’t taken in Round 1, he won’t be on the board for long in Round 2.

When you talk about winners and losers from the most-recent combine, you have to place Chase Claypool in the winner’s circle. No, better yet, place him on an Olympic podium and give him a silver medal.

It wasn’t quite the gold medal performance. We reserve those for the studs that came in and showed why they’re getting talked about so much. See Clemson’s Isaiah Simmons for evidence of that, but Claypool has nothing to hang his head about. He made himself some money with his performance in Indy.

While we’re on the subject of the scouting combine and nice surprises, Brandon Aiyuk has to be brought up. He looked good in workouts, and he turned heads with a 4.5-second 40 time. Keep an eye on him as we move towards April.

Sure, he’s had his injuries, and that’s going to scare some people. He’s probably going to miss the preseason, and the hope is he’s ready by September. That won’t silence any of the skeptics who are worried that he might be fragile.

Here’s what you need to know though. If Laviska Shenault slides he may provide starting-level talent for any team willing to take him. His name was once associated with Philly. That may not be the case now. The Eagles don’t need to gamble, but Shenault is going to be a very good pro for someone.

KJ Hamler made news in Philly as he got a glowing endorsement from his former teammate, Eagles running back Miles Sanders. If the ‘Birds’ get him in one of those middle rounds and someone like Justin Jefferson in Round 1 and if JJ Arcega-Whiteside takes a huge step forward under Aaron Moorehead, they may be set at wide receiver for the next ten years.
