With the first wave of free agency in the books, it\u2019s time to start looking forward to the 2020 NFL Draft. Free agency changes the needs of several teams across the leagues, which obviously goes on to impact the NFL Draft. Analysts across the country are doing their best to break down these updated needs to give the clearest picture possible as to what to expect in a months\u2019 time. Without further ado, here is a Philadelphia Eagles mock draft roundup from all across the internet.<\/p>\n
Justin Jefferson [Scouting Report<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s no secret that the Philadelphia Eagles need to get younger at wide receiver. Alshon Jeffery<\/a><\/strong> appears to have lost a step, Nelson Agholor<\/a><\/strong> is in Las Vegas, DeSean Jackson<\/a><\/strong> is a health risk, and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside<\/strong><\/a> didn\u2019t do anything to impress as a rookie. Jefferson is a solid route runner with great ball skills who can line up in the slot and out wide. He\u2019d be a perfect fit for Philadelphia\u2019s offense and a great target for Carson Wentz<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Tee Higgins [Scouting Report<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n Carson Wentz throws one of the prettiest deep balls in football, and the Eagles give him someone that can actually catch them. Higgins is a physical freak with fantastic speed and size. The Clemson product can blow past defenses and can outjump defensive backs when facing tight coverage. He\u2019s just as dangerous with the ball in his hands and should make Philadelphia\u2019s offense one of the most explosive in the league.<\/p>\n Justin Jefferson<\/em><\/p>\n Just like Zierlien, Marino believes Justin Jefferson to be the best receiver left on the board when the Eagles are on the clock. Philadelphia addressed cornerback by acquiring Darius Slay<\/a><\/strong>, so it only makes sense for the team to take a wide receiver. However, it\u2019s worth noting that Jerry Jeudy<\/a>, Ceedee Lamb<\/a><\/strong>, and Henry Ruggs <\/strong><\/a>are all off the board by the time the Eagles are on the clock. Marino implies that, if they\u2019re still on the board, the Eagles would take any one of those three ahead of Jefferson.<\/p>\n Justin Jefferson<\/em><\/p>\n A clear favorite has emerged from the mock drafters of the internet. As previously mentioned, Jefferson is a great fit for Philadelphia\u2019s offense, and, from a talent perspective, he should be going in the mid- to late-first round.<\/p>\n This is a three-round mock, so Sports Illustrated also has the Eagles going after cornerback Noah Igbinoghene<\/strong> in the second round and interior offensive lineman John Simpson<\/strong> in the third. Igbinoghene would help solidify a secondary that doesn\u2019t have much beyond Darius Slay, while Simpson appears to be a case of just grabbing the best player available.<\/p>\n Justin Jefferson<\/em><\/p>\n Another vote for Jefferson! Howie Roseman<\/strong> doesn\u2019t make his draft decisions based on the predictions of others, but there\u2019s a lot of smoke to Jefferson. Don\u2019t be surprised if the Eagles make the commonly-mocked choice and use the LSU product to bolster the receiving corps.<\/p>\n Main photo:NFL Mock Draft: Post-Free Agency Edition – Last Word on Pro Football<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n
