NFL Draft rumors: Eagles trying to jump Giants for Jaylen Waddle?

Are the Philadelphia Eagles trying to move ahead of the New York Giants in the 2021 NFL Draft with the intent of snatching away Alabama wide receiver Jaylen Waddle?

A report from The Athletic says the Eagles, who have the 12th pick and an extra 2022 first-round pick after a move down from No. 6 in a deal with the Miami Dolphins, are trying to find a way back into the top 10. Speculation is that the Eagles’ target in a move up would be Waddle, the speedy, home-run hitting wide receiver/return man who would give Philly the type of big-play weapon DeSean Jackson was in his prime.
