Eagles Round one Draft Pick:
Normally I would have made an entire Eagles draft, but had
limited time. I would like to see the eagles address their tackle position in
the first round since Peters is old and keeps getting injured. I don’t love the
OTs that would be available around where we pick but Connor Williams 6’5 296
could be good.
I’ve seen people say that we should draft a Running back. We
should not. We have two very good ones in Jay Ajayi and Corey Clement, but we
also have potential with Pumphrey and Smallwood.
We don’t need a receiver with Alshon Jeffery and Nelson
Agholor as both great WRs. We also have Mack Hollins who looked good as a
rookie and Mike Wallace for the deep ball. It’s not worth taking a first round
WR.
I wouldn’t mind a CB since we are a little thin there or a
Linebacker where we are very thin.
Eagles Draft - First Round Options:
Leighton Vander Esch,
ILB, Boise State, 6’4 256:
He did well in at the combine especially in the cone,
shuttle and, vertical jump. He had a great senior year with 141 tackles 8.5 for
a loss, 4 sacks, 4 pbu, and 3 ints.
Connor Williams, G,
Texas 6’5 296:
He played tackle in college but will probably play guard in
the NFL. He’s a great technician and if not for his injury and decline in play
in 2017 he would be a higher pick.
Josh Jackson, CB,
Iowa, 6’0 196:
He has good size and is above average athletic. He also has
a crazy senior year with 18 PBU and 8 INTs. He needs time to develop and doesn’t
have much experience but he’s a natural.
Later Round CBs
Quenton Meeks,
Stanford, 6’1 209: Round 4
He has great size and he’s very athletic. His 40 is average
but his other measurable are high. In three years he had 18 PBU and 7 INT. He’s
very productive. He also had 65 tackles his senior year.
Avonte Maddox,
Pittsburg, 5’9 184: Round 5
He’s extremely athletic but he is shorter and lighter than
many CB. He would have to play the slot. He also has great production over his
career with 34 PBU and 9 INTs.
Grant Haley, Penn
State 5’9 190: Round 6
Another good slot corner option. He is short, but he is very
athletic and has pretty good production.
Andre Chachere,
San Jose St. 5’11 197: Round 7
He has good size and athleticism. He didn’t have the best
senior year but did have 14 pbu and 4 ints his junior year. Worth a shot late
for sure.
Darious Williams, UAB,
5’9 184: RFA
He’s short and was injured for several years. He had a great
senior year though and is athletic enough to play the position.
Jordan Thomas,
Oklahoma, 6’0 187: RFA
He needs some work, but for a late pick he has potential. He
had a good junior year with 17 PBU and had 5 ints during his sophomore year.
His 40 time is slow so he might have to switch to safety. Otherwise he has
great change of direction.
Later Round Safety Prospects
Tarvarius Moore,
Southern Miss, 6’1 199: Round 3
He has good size but could stand to be 10 lbs more. He had a
very good senior year with 87 tackles 10 pbu and 3 ints. He is very fast in a straight
line with pretty good change of direction and great explosion.
Godwin Igwebuike,
Notherwestern, 5’11 213: Round 6 or 7
He has good size and very good production over his career
with 324 tackles 24 PBU and 7 ints.
Late Round RB:
Dontrell Hillard,
Tulane 5’10 202: RFA
Had 1k yards senior year 5.2 yard average. He also has a
career over 10 ypc on 70 catches. He’s athletic enough for the positon for
sure. He has a good top speed and very
good acceleration. He can run through some contact even though he’s only 202.
He could be this year’s Corey Clement.
Disclaimer: I normally spend more time analyzing data and watching film. I did my best this year with very limited time.
