Will the Eagles take a wideout in the first round of the NFL draft for the third straight year? One report says their ‘preference’ at No. 15 overall is Alabama’s Jameson Williams.
If the Eagles do select Williams, it would be the third straight year the Eagles picked a wide receiver in the first round. There’s still a huge need at the position, despite the number of resources they’ve invested over the past few years.
Last year, the Eagles took DeVonta Smith, who went on to set the franchise record for most receiving yards as a rookie in a single season. Before that, they took Jalen Reagor out of TCU over LSU’s Justin Jefferson, which was a huge miscalculation by the Eagles. Reagor hasn’t shown much over the past two years, andWilliams and Smith would give the Eagles a promising, young pairing at the wide receiver position to help out Jalen Hurts.
In his lone season at Alabama, Williams had 79 receptions, 1,572 receiving yards, and 15 touchdowns. He also averaged 19.9 yards per catch.READ MORE:“Linear route-runner with electric long speed to impact a game as a home-run hitter or decoy drawing defenders away from other elements of the offense. Williams ruins man coverage but faces some limitations. He has issues getting off press cleanly and might require some scheming to help get off the mark cleanly against certain corners.
But, as Zierlein noted, there’s some risk in taking Williams. He tore his ACL in the National Championship game against Georgia in January.A training update on
