Philadelphia Eagles: 5 First-round targets in 2020 NFL Draft
2. Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson
The 2020 NFL Draft class is exceptionally deep at wide receiver. I don’t believe the Eagles will be able to select Jerry Jeudy and CeeDee Lamb in the draft as they’ll likely be well off the board by the time Philadelphia is on the clock. But Tee Higgins has a chance to fall into the team’s lap.
The Eagles offense was in desperate need of a receiver, especially towards the end of the season with Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson and Nelson Agholor all being sidelined due to injury. Even when healthy, the Eagles could use an upgrade at the position and Higgins would be the perfect choice.
He was in sync with Lawrence throughout all of 2019, ending the season with 59 catches, 1,167 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. His skill set would be ideally suited to complement Jeffery and the rest of the Philadelphia aerial attack.
1. Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
Delpit is not the only reason LSU has maintained the label of “DBU” in the 2020 draft class. Kristian Fulton was an integral piece for the Tigers defense throughout their championship run. He is a lockdown corner and he has the opportunity to make noise in the NFL. Fulton may have had only one interception in 2019, but he also had 14 pass deflections against the top receivers in the SEC.

With Ronald Darby and Jalen Mills failing to last a full season once again — and struggling quite a bit when they were able to get on the field — Fulton would be able to provide major depth at the cornerback position and even be a Day 1 starter if he adjusts to the league right away.
