The season is over. We’ve been taken out behind the woodshed and put out of our misery. So, now it is time to look to the future and what we can be excited for moving forward. The Eagles officially will be selecting 13th overall, and here is the pick I’m already licking my lips over.
[Note: I’m assuming this is with no movement to go get Jared Goff and us working on the O-line in free agency.]
Laquon Treadwell, WR Ole Miss
6’3″ 215lbs
STRENGTHS: One of the most physically gifted receivers at the college level even when he was a freshman. Even when covered, he’s not covered due to his size, hand strength and catching radius to physically dominate defensive backs. Treadwell always picks up more yardage than he should after the catch due to his power and athleticism
WEAKNESSES: Recovered from gruesome knee injury in 2014, but pre-draft medical checks will be key to final grade with many teams. Although he won’t be a receiver who consistently creates separation, he doesn’t need to with his body control and ballskills.
COMPARES TO: Dez Bryant, Cowboys – Treadwell shows a Bryant-like skillset with his size and athleticism combination to be a mismatch against cornerbacks on the outside.
Make this happen, Howie. Or whoever the hell is going to be making the decisions around here. This guy needs to be in Eagles green!
