K.J. Hamler has gotten the vote of confidence from his former teammate Miles Sanders, and he has the attention of quite a few Eagles fans. The question is, with his five-foot-nine, 178-pound frame, will the Eagles agree with that sentiment or go with someone who can snag a few 50-50 balls?

At six-foot-two and 216 pounds, Gabriel Davis is already going to get some looks, but after running a 4.54-second 40-yard dash and hauling in 72 passes for 1,241 receiving yards with 12 trips to the end zone, he’ll be a nice topic of conversation for any team that’s interested in adding a receiver.

Brandon Aiyuk gets a lot of attention from the football aficionados who have enveloped themselves in everything from whether or not we should be concerned with a few nicks and bruises to if there’s truly anything to those “stay away from Pac-12 receiver” theories.

Aiyuk’s gotten both first-round and second-round grades, but there hasn’t been a lot of talk about Philly taking him in either round. That doesn’t mean that it’s impossible though. Keep both eyes on him.
