Although I don’t expect the Eagles to add a WR in the first-round, I think they plan on picking up somebody in the later rounds. The Eagles have show interest in Darrius Heyward-Bey. Additionally, Kenny Britt or Hakeem Nicks are also possible targets for the Eagles with the 28th pick. I don’t see that happening. I’m expecting OL and RB with the Eagles first two picks. And if that’s not the case, I’m pulling for Vontae Davis or Robert Ayers on the defensive side of the ball. I then expect the Eagles to go after a TE in round 2 or 3. It could be either Jared Cook, Cornelius Ingrham, or Chase Coffman. Coffman is looking like the pass-catching TE that Andy would love to get. The Eagles may have to spend a 2nd-round pick to get him if they like him enough. I think he’ll definitely be gone by the mid 3rd-round and if the Eagles don’t come away with a solid TE, it would be a huge dissappointment.
Keep an eye on this WR in the draft: Brandon Tate. Tate is a North Carolina receiver, who missed most of this season due to an injury. Although his counterpart, Hakeem Nicks, is getting all the attention and may go as high as late first-round, this 6’0″ speedster (and return specialist) may be a great pick up in perhaps the 4th round.
