54. <p>Trying to guess what Chip Kelly might do with the 20th pick feels a bit like trying to figure out what the Patriots will do at 32. All you can do is put down the name of a guy you like and hope for the best, even though you the smart money is on a trade. Assuming, they can’t trade up for Marcus Mariota I’d look for the Eagles to trade down, but since that’s not an option I’m going with former USC wide receiver, Nelson Agholor.</p> <p>I don’t think losing Jeremy Maclin in free agency was ever part of Kelly’s plan and while Miles Austin is a potentially underrated addition, the receiving group still needs help. Some scouts view Agholor exclusively as a slot receiver due to his small build (6’o, 198 pounds) and limited speed (he ran a 4.42 at the combine, but scouts say it doesn’t show up on tape.)</p> <p>Despite these limitations Agholor has ankle breaking quickness, is an aggressive run blocker, and doesn’t shy away from contact in the middle of the field. He’s a high character player, USC’s reputation to churn out receiver prospects who never quite live up to their billing should only make Agholor that much more enticing.</p>. WR. Southern California.
