PHOENIX -- You won’t spend too much time around Chip Kelly before he lets you know who was his favorite player in the 2014 NFL draft.

Kelly liked Odell Beckham Jr., the wide receiver drafted 12th overall by the New York Giants. As Kelly’s Philadelphia Eagles will spend the foreseeable future trying to cover Beckham, it won’t be surprising if Kelly tries to find another elite wide receiver in this year’s draft.

“I think it’s a talented draft class,” Kelly said Wednesday. “We’re still kind of putting that all together, but it’s another year where there are some really good receivers in the draft. I think probably the one position in the draft that has the most depth in the draft is wide receiver.”

The Eagles could use a featured receiver after losing DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin in back-to-back years. Kelly tried to keep Maclin, but the receiver signed with Kansas City when the Chiefs offered him a deal worth $11 million per season. At that point, Kelly didn’t feel inspired by any of the wide receivers available in free agency.

“We didn’t think there was another receiver in that price range in free agency,” Kelly said. “Our team’s not set right now, is the best way to say it. We don’t know what we have. We may get someone in the draft who is like, ‘Oh my God, he’s better than we thought he was, we need to feed him.’ ”

Riley Cooper, the other starting wide receiver from last season, will be back. So will Jordan Matthews, who spent his rookie season playing as a slot receiver. Matthews will get opportunities to play outside in his second year in the league.

“He was a rookie,” Kelly said. “We just wanted him to play one position and learn one position. It’s the spring. Everybody plays everywhere in the spring, and we’ll figure it out. I don’t know if we add anybody and what are their strengths and what are their weaknesses.”

Josh Huff, the other rookie wide receiver drafted last year, will also benefit from being in his second year in the system.

“I think Josh, it’s his consistency,” Kelly said. “The biggest thing with him is getting hurt in that preseason game. That kind of put him behind everybody, and when we got him back, it was after the San Francisco game. We’ve already played four or five games, so he was playing a little bit of catch up.

“So hopefully, it was just a freak thing on that kickoff return. He contributed really well for us. He’s an unbelievable [special] teams player. We already know he’s established there. Now it’s just getting a little more consistent and he’ll get an opportunity now with Mac gone. I just think, like with everybody, you just hope that Year 1 to Year 2 jump. We know he has the physical skills and the mindset to do it. It’s just staying healthy and getting an opportunity to show us that.”

Of course, Kelly could always try to trade for Odell Beckham Jr.
