QB: Carson Wentz

RBs: Miles Sanders, Boston Scott

WRs: DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery, JJ Arcega-Whiteside

TEs: Zach Ertz, Dallas Goedert

The Eagles spent this offseason filling in the holes on defense. They lost a couple of pieces on offense but the team will still be able to move the ball downfield and it starts with Wentz. He threw for over 4,000 yards for the first time. He played in all 16 games while making 607 pass attempts for the second time in his career.

Wentz, if healthy, is a solid quarterback to draft. He takes care of the ball and can make plays with both his arm and legs. In a 1QB league, I would want to have the extra security by drafting a second quarterback.

The Eagles lost Jordan Howard this offseason. This leaves Sanders and Scott to man the backfield. In his rookie season, Sanders rushed for 818 yards and three touchdowns on 176 carries. Scott posted a 61/245/5 line. I think both running backs have a place in this offense but Sanders will be the main back and should have another good season.

Wide receiver has been an issue for the Eagles for years. The offense relies on the tight ends more than the receivers. There have been rumors that Jeffery is on the way out. Until it’s official, he and Jackson will lead the receiving corps and are flex options at best.

Speaking of the tight ends, Ertz and Goedert should and will be drafted as top-12 tight ends. Ertz led the team with 88 receptions, 916 yards and 6 touchdowns. Goedert wasn’t that far behind with 58/607/5. Goedert is my sleeper pick from this team.
