Mike Clay: My chief concern with Ertz is target volume. I think part of why the team was okay with trading DeSean Jackson was because they plan on continuing to spread the ball around. It won't surprise me if no one on the Eagles exceeds 20 percent of the team's targets. That said, Ertz is going to play more, the Eagles are going to score a lot, and I'm projecting him to lead the team in receiving touchdowns. I like him in the middle rounds.




Sticking with the Eagles theme, I also can't wait to see Jordan Matthews. He's their most-talented wideout and I think he can be in the WR2 conversation by mid-season. It won't take him long to earn an every-down role.




Another guy I was anxious to see was over-sized pinball Trent Richardson. He's still the same, mediocre back we rolled our eyes at in 2013. Of all the backs I've watched so far, he's the least explosive out of the backfield. Add in his affection for running into his linemen, and you have a must-avoid player on draft day.




There are definitely a few other guys I plan on watching closely. They include the Jake Locker/Justin Hunter connection, Lamar Miller's usage in Bill Lazor's offense, and the running back rotations in New Orleans and Detroit.
