Eagles News: Philadelphia listed as the best landing spot for one of Alabama’s wide receivers

2022 NFL draft best team fits for wide receivers: Landing spots for Garrett Wilson, Drake London, Jameson Williams, Chris Olave, Treylon Burks - ESPN+
John Metchie III, Philadelphia Eagles. Height: 5-11 | Weight: 187. College: Alabama. The Eagles have field-stretchers with DeVonta Smith, Jalen Reagor and Quez Watkins in addition to the top-five tight end skill set of Dallas Goedert. What they lack, though, is a true slot target when you look at what coach Nick Sirianni wants to do in the pass game. That’s why I like Metchie here as a late Day 2 pick; he has the route-running chops and toughness to work inside the numbers.
