The Eagles have shown heavy interest in drafting a wide receiver early

Where there’s smoke, there is often fire. The Philadelphia Eagles courting several wide receivers in the pre-draft process is creating one massive bonfire.

The potential of taking a wide receiver with a first-round selection has largely flown under the radar, until recently. The evidence pointing to it being a real possibility is too much to ignore. To date, they’ve brought in seven receivers on official visits.

The question is, why? The Eagles have Alshon Jeffery locked up until 2021. DeSean Jackson just signed a 3-year $27.9M contract.
