The Eagles have become one of the most improved teams after free agency. Targeting their main weakness, wide receiver, they signed the best available wide receiver and a quality speed receiver. Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith give second year quarter back Carson Wentz some weapons that he did not have last year. Jordan Matthews is not a number one receiver. He’s had at least 100 targets in the first three seasons but has never 1000 yards.

They have a need at running back, while Mathews and Sproles are on the roster, they can definitely improve. With the 14th pick in the 2017 draft they could be able to grab Fournette, Cook, or McCaffrey. I’m not saying all will be there but at least one should be. They could use help in the secondary with the releasing of Leodis McKelvin and many mocks have them leaning that way. With a leap from Carson Wentz they could contend in the NFC East but they have some tough competition.
