Eagles have needs at wide receiver and tight end, too

The Eagles addressed their need at wide receiver last month by signing Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith, suspending the urgency to fill the position in the draft. But those signings wouldn't preclude the Eagles from adding another one this week.

The team's pledge to draft the best available player could include a wide receiver at the No. 14 pick if not in other rounds. The objective to give quarterback Carson Wentz more help has not been tempered even after bolstering the wide receiver corps. And the team's long-term outlook at the position is still murky, with Jeffery and Jordan Matthews both on contracts that expire after this season - Smith's deal requires little financial obligation beyond 2017 - and former high draft picks Nelson Agholor and Dorial Green-Beckham still too unproven.
