Terrace Marshall Jr., WR

Easily the most popular name when it comes to discussing potential trade-up targets for the Philadelphia Eagles, Terrace Marshall Jr. is a guy who the Eagles themselves have reportedly expressed a great deal of interest in.

Some mocks have the standout LSU receiver slipping to Philly at pick 37, others have him going in the first round.

In my recent 7-round mock draft, I didn’t take any chances. I packaged pick 37 and pick 84 to move up to 28 via the New Orleans Saints:

"The reasoning behind my rather aggressive trade-up is of course to acquire LSU’s Terrace Marshall Jr. The Philadelphia Eagles desperately need a new WR1, and Marshall Jr. projects to be NFL-ready rather soon. A 6-3, 200lbs wideout who can do a bit of everything, Marshall Jr. immediately enters the Eagles organization as their most complete offensive weapon. He’d be the starting “X” receiver from day one, giving Jalen Hurts a proper target to throw to on the outside and in the red zone. The Eagles have reportedly spent a good amount of time talking with Marshall Jr. this offseason, and trading up into the first-round for him secures the Eagles a fifth-year option as well. Definitely worth giving up that third-round pick for."

The Eagles passed on a dominant LSU receiver last draft, and it ended up being one of the worst decisions in franchise history. They shouldn’t do it again, even if it means giving up an extra Day 2 pick.
