Howie Roseman stressed how much of an opportunity the NFL Combine presents to gather information. Roseman was referring to gauging the value of free agents, but that extends to the draft prospects that are in Indianapolis.

Wide receiver is a position of need for the Eagles. With three legitimate first round options for Philadelphia, Roseman and the Eagles brass need to do their due diligence while at the Combine.

Many of the top receiver prospects had informal meetings with the Eagles. Philadelphia also has some formal meetings scheduled. New wide receivers coach Mike Groh has already had an impact for the Eagles by leaving a strong first impression on the prospects that he has met with.

Here are the wideouts that have met with the Eagles already or have formal meetings scheduled:

Mike Williams, Clemson

Williams said he had a great meeting with Groh. He is easily one of the best receivers this year. His ability to make plays down the field on contested catches would make things easier for Carson Wentz.

Corey Davis, Western Michigan

Davis won’t work out at the Combine or his Pro Day due to an injury he suffered when he was training. His time in Indy will be spent meeting with coaches. Davis said he met Groh and would like to be in a scheme that will give him the opportunity to gain yards after the catch.

John Ross, Washington

Ross has a formal meeting with the Eagles. He is training with Team EVO which is that same group that trained DeSean Jackson. Ross said he talked to Jackson recently as well as Brandin Cooks. He has a formal meeting with the Eagles scheduled for Friday night.

Dede Westbrook, Oklahoma

Westbrook said he had a formal meeting with the Eagles. He said he was questioned about his past by Philadelphia. Westbrook is an explosive player that can benefit from a package of creative plays designed by Doug Pederson.

JuJu Smith-Schuster, USC

Smith-Schuster worked out with Wentz and came away impressed with how the quarterback helped with route running. The former USC wideout is a physical specimen that can break tackles and get yards after the catch.

Josh Reynolds, Texas A&M

Reynolds is a deep threat that could help increase the number of big plays that were lacking in the Eagles offense. He had an informal meeting with the Eagles.

Zay Jones, East Carolina

Jones is a polished wideout that has sparked up a lot of interest since the Senior Bowl. His older brother, Caleb spent time with the Eagles during training camp in 2016.

Jones said he met with Groh and enjoyed the conversation. He said he was aware of Groh’s past experience with Alshon Jeffery.

Carlos Henderson, Louisiana Tech

Henderson is a play that breaks tackles like a running back. He runs with a sense of urgency when he has the ball in his hands. Henderson is flying under the radar. The former teammate of current Eagles receiver Paul Turner has a formal meeting with the Eagles.

Curtis Samuel, Ohio State

Samuel is a dynamic player that can be used out of the backfield as well as in the receiving game. His ability to create explosive plays blossomed last year at Ohio State. Samuel said he has a formal meeting scheduled with the Eagles.

Shelton Gibson, West Virginia

Although he is undersized, Gibson plays big. He said he patterns his game after Steve Smith Sr. by playing the game with an edge. Ironically, Smith Sr. said Gibson is one of his favorite players in Indy.
