I was just thinking today about our receiving corps and how it lacks a true big #1 wide receiver.  Then I thought about Pat Shurmer's history with the Eagles and how they've never really had a big #1 receiver and have been very successful with the smaller receivers, just like what we have.  After the jump is every Eagle that had at least 15 receptions in a season and their height and weight.

So as you can see, the Eagles never really had a big #1 receiver that they used, other than TO. They had the occasional big guy but they were never really big contributors.  Todd Pinkston has comparable size to Laurent Robinson, and all the other one's are about the size of Brandon Gibson or Brooks Foster.  So I'm not sure we'll ever get that #1 WR.  I think it would help greatly, but if we are in fact running the Eagles offense we may not feel we need one, of course we are running a lot more than the Eagles did.  A TE could be an addition we make since the Eagles utilize TEs a lot, hopefully we already have that in Onubon.  We'll have to see if our offense starts to resemble the Eagles more now that we have Sam Bradford and a strong O-line.  Our passing patterns are similar so maybe we can just become as successful as them.

Both teams had RBs lead the team in receiving, 3 receivers after that were about proportionate although the Eagles were all better, then came TE, WR, TE, WR who all had very similar stats.  We also had similar rushing attempts in those years, although 50 rushing attempts were from Donovan McNabb.  I think we are definitely headed in the right direction and have a built a WR corps very similar in stature to that of the last decade of Eagles teams who have been very successful.  A TE and backup RB could be the only missing pieces next year, and maybe only backup RB.
