Philadelphia Eagles

Perfect draft pair: Clemson WR Mike Williams (Round 1, pick 14); Florida CB Quincy Wilson (Round 2, pick 43)

Brooks on Williams: Williams is a perfect pick for the Eagles as they build this offense around Carson Wentz. You want to make sure Wentz has playmakers and weapons on the outside. Williams is a big, physical, No. 1 receiver who is a playmaker down in the red zone. He expands the strike zone for Wentz.

Jeremiah on Wilson: They've got to get a corner. They'd be stoked, I believe, if they had Wilson fall in their lap. He ran mid-to-low 4.5s (in the 40-yard dash), so he's not a burner, but he's a big, physical cornerback.

On the Move the Sticks podcast, former NFL scouts Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks break down the latest news and action around the league from a scout's perspective, alongside NFL player personnel executives.
