Maclin?

ESPN's John Clayton says "the Eagles got a steal at wide receiver with Jeremy Maclin."

On the other hand, ESPN's Len Pasquarelli says, "Missouri's Jeremy Maclin, Philadelphia's selection at No. 19, doesn't play as big as his size (6-1, 208) and isn't as quick on the field as he is running for a stopwatch.The Eagles have five veteran receivers, including 2008 second-round pick DeSean Jackson, and Maclin could find it difficult to carve out playing time as a rookie.

If he can't carve out rookie playing time, it a) would not be surprising for rookie WRs and b) a positive sign for the Eagles' WR production.
