Philadelphia Eagles scouting: Ranking remaining WR free agents
4. player. 124. . . . Demarcus Robinson
Demarcus Robinson is still young. He’ll turn 26 years old in September as he was another one of those guys that entered the league as a part of the draft class that introduced Eagles fans everywhere officially to Carson Wentz.
Robinson has played in 64 career games with 23 starts, including ten for last year’s Super Bowl Champion, the Kansas City Chiefs. He stands at six-foot-three inches tall, and he tips the scales at 203 pounds.
He can’t be ignored for his ability to make plays. Last year was the best of his four professional seasons as he caught 32 passes for 449 yards and four touchdowns. Call it a crazy theory, but it would be interesting to see how he performs in an offense where he’s one of the focal points.
. . Tajae Sharpe. 3. player. 35.
Last season with the Tennessee Titans, Tajae Sharpe appeared in 15 games with six starts, and he caught 25 passes on 35 targets. The result was 329 receiving yards, a 13.2 yards-per-catch average and four trips to the end zone.
Wouldn’t it be nice if someone on Philly’s roster averaged a first down for every catch?
Though it would seem that Demarcus Robinson is the more accomplished receiver of these two, one could wake up on certain days and feel like having this 25-year-old target (he turns 26 in December) who stands at six-foot-two and weighs 194 pounds is a better option for the ‘Birds’.
If he isn’t in the top ten of your best wide receivers who are still available, the list should be rewritten.
