Alshon Jeffery, WR
Best fit: Philadelphia Eagles
There are availability concerns with Jeffery given his injury history and the suspension in 2016. However, in Doug Pederson's offense, Jeffery is an easy fit because of his size, catch radius and matchup ability. Think inside-breaking routes in the West Coast system with the ball thrown between the hash and the numbers. Use that frame to shield defenders and finish. In Philadelphia, the Eagles need a true No. 1 for Carson Wentz, a player who can move the sticks, win in the red zone and capitalize on 50-50 throws.
