Eagles use the NFL draft to reshape their wide receivers unit

The Eagles continued to reshape their wide receiver depth chart on Saturday by drafting two receivers on the final day of the NFL draft, adding to a unit that was already bolstered last month with free agents Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith.

North Carolina's Mack Hollins arrived as a fourth-round pick (No. 118), and West Virginia's Shelton Gibson came as a fifth-round pick (No. 166). After enduring inconsistencies from their underperforming wide receivers last year, the Eagles will likely have four new receivers on the roster.

"I think it's great," coach Doug Pederson said about the changes at wide receiver.
