833. . Wide Receiver. Wildcats . Wan'Dale Robinson. 101. player

Finally, a wide receiver!

Now before you go complaining in the comments section, I know Wan’Dale Robinson isn’t the X wide receiver that some fans would like. If the Eagles weren’t going to select a big fella like London Drake, Treylon Burks, or Garrett Wilson in the first round, the options to secure a traditional, NFL-ready X rapidly contracted to players like George Pickens, Christian Watson, and Alec Price, who will all be gone by pick 100.

Who should still be available one pick later, at pick 101? That would be Wan’Dale Robinson, who might just be one of the most exciting players in this year’s class.

Measuring in at 5-foot-8, 178 pounds with T-Rex arms and 4.44 speed, Robinson will get overlooked by teams for his unconventional measurables… at least until he actually takes the field, then they’ll be forced to watch him gash up defenses with his otherworldly agility and incredible ability to pick up yards after the catch.

Throw him a screen, put him back to return punts, heck, play him at running back like mini-Deebo Samuel/bigger Darren Sproles; Robinson is a legit first round-caliber player maker with a chip on his shoulder who may never start anywhere but the slot, but will make far more plays than folks expect.
