7 players Eagles have best chance of trading up for in 2020 NFL Draft
By Dan Parzych
Will CeeDee Lamb end up being the first receiver selected in a few weeks from now?
Plenty could happen from now until the first night of the draft, but if Lamb ended up hearing his name first over other star receivers like Jeudy or Ruggs, this wouldn’t come as a surprise at all when looking at his NFL potential.
Lamb’s numbers alone from his final two seasons with Oklahoma (127 catches for 2,485 yards with 25 touchdowns) makes it easy to see why the Sooners star could end up being the best player from this year’s class at the wide receiver position.
Sooner or later, Philadelphia will need to adjust to life in the passing game without veterans Jackson or Jeffery.
And even if both of these players end up sticking around for another year or two, there is nothing wrong with Lamb being a little patient before the Eagles would officially need to rely on him as a No. 1 target in the passing game.
After locking up Wentz to a massive deal before last season, Philadelphia knows the only way their beloved quarterback is going to succeed is if they build the proper offense around him.
Lamb will obviously still have plenty to prove once he does make the transition to the NFL, but even if the Eagles were to trade up, and surrender a future first-round pick in the process, the wideout seems like he would make this move well worth it.
