This would be a really, really fun pick. But for as talented as Brown is, his recovery from a serious foot injury suffered last season has prevented him from running the 40-yard dash and from working out for any teams during the pre-draft process. And while his game film screams first-round ability, teams won’t be as willing to invest their highest draft asset in a player who has a bad wheel and whose entire game relies on speed.

Still, if Brown ends up an Eagle, he’d have the ultimate mentor in DeSean Jackson, who many draft analysts believe is a fair comp for Brown’s pro potential.
