The Philadelphia Eagles are in need of help in their receiving corps. That isn't much of a secret.

As a result, many are expecting the Eagles to go with a wide receiver in the first round of the NFL Draft this week, but who is their main target?

Arizona State's Brandon Aiyuk seems to think it could be him:

“That’s a big possibility,” said Aiyuk, via John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia. “I definitely feel like the interest is there. Philly is a great football city. It would be a nice landing spot.”

While Aiyuk certainly has talent, he may be a bit of a reach in the first round for the Eagles, especially given how deep this draft class is at wideout.

The 22-year-old underwent core muscle surgery earlier this month, and at that point, he was only considered a fringe first-round pick to begin with.

Also, outside of Aiyuk's senior campaign, when he hauled in 65 receptions for 1,192 yards and eight touchdowns, he didn't have much of an extensive track record at Arizona State.

At 6-foot-1, 205 pounds, Aiyuk has decent size, but he only has mediocre speed, as he ran a 4.5-second 40-yard dash at the Scouting Combine.

With DeSean Jackson being injury-prone and Alshon Jeffery potentially on his way out of Philly, the Eagles could really use a game-breaker, and it remains to be seen if Aiyuk is that guy.

The Eagles went 9-7 and captured the NFC East division title this past season. They were then eliminated by the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs.
