How did we reach this startling point?
How did the Eagles suddenly find themselves flush with wide receiver talent? Just four months ago the Birds were hoping to prove the NFL wrong about Rueben Randle and Chris Givens.
On Saturday, they still lacked a No. 1 receiver, but that's OK. They shed Randle and Givens because they knew first-round holdover Nelson Agholor and newcomer Dorial Green-Beckham would be on the front line with slot ace Jordan Matthews, and that Josh Huff (!) had earned the fourth spot. They agonized over whether to keep undrafted rookie Paul Turner, whose 17 catches led the NFL in preseason games and whose 71-yard punt return for a touchdown in the preseason finale amplified his value on special teams.
