Philadelphia Eagles: 7-Round 2019 mock draft version 2.0
By Dan Parzych
Round 4, Pick 138: Wide Receiver Miles Boykin, Notre Dame
Thanks to the trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to bring DeSean Jackson back into the mix on offense, the Eagles appear to be stacked at the wide receiver position heading into the 2019 season.
Not only will Jackson be joining an elite group led by Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor, but also Philadelphia has one of the league’s top pass-catching tight ends in Zach Ertz.
With that being said, just because the Eagles are loaded with weapons for Wentz to work with in 2019 doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t look to add another wideout in the draft since there’s a bit of uncertainty after next season.
Between Jackson getting up there in age along with what the future holds for Agholor, adding another wideout seems like a strong possibility for Philadelphia.
Since the Eagles are in position to wait until the later rounds, Miles Boykin could be the perfect fit for the fourth round with his athletic ability and size that could cause all sorts of problems for opponents on defense as a rookie.
Like most rookies, Boykin has a few areas that Philadelphia would need to help him work on if the interest were there, but also the potential in the long run seems like it would be well worth the selection.
Plus, since the Eagles are stacked at the moment for 2019, this scenario could even benefit Boykin if he spent most of his rookie season playing behind and learning from his teammates.
