1. Philadelphia Eagles: Nelson Agholor
This is another pick in which a good player was drafted way to early. There were some game changing receivers still available. Jaelen Strong, Dorial Green-Beckham and Devin Smith just to name a few. What is Chip Kelly doing?
The Eagles do what the Eagles want to do, but this one is unacceptably bad. Agholor is a good player in the second round. If the Eagles wanted to take him, they should have traded out of the 20th pick.
Not only was it a horrible reach, but it didn’t fill a need for the team. The Eagles needs were on the defense, especially in the secondary. Landon Collins would have been the perfect pick. If they wanted to go with pass rushers, Shane Ray, Alvin Dupree and Eli Harold were all available.
