The Philadelphia Eagles offense isn’t quite what it was last season. They’ve learned how thin they actually are at wide receiver, especially with Alshon Jeffery battling health issues. They need to work on their depth going into this draft, perhaps looking to improve their explosiveness in the process. This is where Marquise Brown comes in. The Oklahoma receiver may be on the small side but his pure speed is going to keep defensive backs up at night. One of those weapons who truly is a threat to house it every time he touches the ball. He’ll have to put on some weight for the NFL but his value as a weapon will make life easier for everyone else.
