On paper Eagles GM Howie Roseman has bolstered the "D" through free agency and trades in the beginning stages of the 2020-21 NFL calendar. Additionally, the Eagles' front office opted not to bring back team leader Malcolm Jenkins and has plans to slide Jalen Mills from cornerback to safety.

So what about adding weapons for Carson Wentz? It's been a silent offseason for the Eagles in regards to improving the offense. The overwhelming sentiment is the Eagles will be bulking up the wide receiver position in next month's draft. Fans are clamoring for that young, big play wideout.
If the numerous sportsbooks are giving us any sign, then a wide receiver with its first pick appears to be the direction the team is headed.
For instance, you can bet on FanDuel which player the Eagles will take with their first selection. LSU wide out Justin Jefferson is a +170 favorite. A $100 bet on Jefferson to be the pick would win $170.
Keep in mind this wager is who the Eagles will take with their first selection in the draft. Obviously you have to take into account they could move up or down. Regardless, all signs point to a receiver being the Eagles' first pick. The first seven players you can place a wager on are all wideouts. (Image below: Courtesy FanDuel SportsBook)
