Ranking Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers ahead of training camp

The Philadelphia Eagles have to begin looking at JJ Arcega-Whiteside’s tenure as a failure.

There’s no reason a second-round draft choice should be ranked this low, but he is. For those of you that think he should be ranked higher, ask yourselves a question (and be honest). Who are you putting him ahead of?

8. J.J. Arcega-Whiteside

Well, as is the case with so many other failed draft experiments, it’s totally obvious that JJ Arcega-Whiteside isn’t going to work out for this Philadelphia Eagles team. What’s sad about that is this.

Philadelphia has gone from a team that used to move off of guys a year too early to become a team that consistently moves off of players who are doing nothing but occupying a roster spot a year too late. See Darren Sproles, Alshon Jeffery, Corey Clement, and guys like Jay Ajayi and Jordan Howard if you need an example.

JJAW might be this team’s least talented receiver now, but based on where he was drafted and what Philly has already invested in him, it shouldn’t surprise anyone if he’s right back on the roster in 2020 even though it should be obvious to everyone that it’s time to move on. Stay tuned.

9. Michael Walker

Being that Michael Walker, at the time of this story being published, is the last wide receiver that has been added to Philly’s roster, no one should be surprised if he’s the first one released at some point in the near future.
