NFC East: Biggest question for each team in 2020

Philadelphia Eagles: Does the team have enough talent and depth at wide receiver?

Down the stretch this past season, Doug Pederson’s club managed to string together four consecutive victories (following a three-game losing streak) on the way to winning the NFC East with 9-7 record. They did on offense primarily on the arm of quarterback Carson Wentz, who was forced to rely on a pass-catching corps that had very few faces remaining from the club that kicked off the season at home against the Washington Redskins.

For instance, in the team’s 17-9 playoff setback to the Seattle Seahawks, a game in which the four-year pro would leave with a concussion in the middle of the first quarter, the Eagles’ starting wide receivers were Robert Davis and Greg Ward. There was no Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor or DeSean Jackson.

This offseason, general manager Howie Roseman addressed this department in numerous ways. In the draft, the club used three of its 10 picks on wideouts Jalen Reagor (1-TCU), John Hightower (5-Boise State) and Quez Watkins (6b-So. Mississippi).

The Birds also swung a trade with the 49ers for Marquise Goodwin. They all join Jeffery, Jackson (who missed nearly all of 2019) and promising J.J. Arcega-Whiteside to give Wentz and head coach Doug Pederson a lot of options. And hopefully, health won’t be an issue in 2020.
