Without someone at the helm of the team, it’s difficult to project the Eagles’ preferences going into the 2021 NFL Draft. So here we are working off basic needs and obviously good fits, regardless of who the coach could be. Pick 6: DeVonta Smith, Wide Receiver, Alabama Other Players Available: Kyle Pitts, Tight End, Florida Patrick Surtain II, Cornerback, Alabama Kwity Paye, Edge, Michigan The Ja’Marr Chase v. DeVonta Smith debate becomes a lot easier if Chase is off the board by the sixth pick, as he is in this simulation. I have not been shy in my love for the Alabama playmaker and the Eagles would be smart to target him regardless of who is coaching the team. There isn’t a scheme where DeVonta Smith isn’t a game-changer.
