The Eagles' first-round pick is in the books, and with Jalen Reagor now in the fold, it is time to see what they have up their sleeves for the No. 53 and No. 103 overall picks on Friday night.
Here are 33 players to keep an eye on for the 2nd-and-3rd rounds:
Cornerbacks:
Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama: One of the best athletes in the draft at cornerback, Diggs started his college career playing on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball before switching to cornerback after his freshman season. Diggs got plenty of experience early on as a slot cornerback, playing 42% of his snaps in 2018 as the nickel corner. It wasn't until last season he moved to a full-time starting outside corner, playing 85% of his snaps on the outside.
Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU: Fulton is at his best being physical at the line of scrimmage, and has the attitude the Eagles look for in their secondary players. Fulton could be a trade back option for the Eagles.
Jaylon Johnson, Utah: Johnson, standing just under 6-foot, routinely followed the other team's best receiver in college. Despite always being tasked with the toughest matchup he came away with more interceptions over the last two seasons (six) than touchdowns allowed (three).
Amik Robertson, CB, Louisiana Tech: Robertson is a quick corner that knows how to make plays on the ball when it comes his way, coming down with a whopping 14 interceptions over the last three seasons. Robertson spent most of his time on the outside at Louisiana Tech, but has the skillset to potentially move inside to nickel if needed.
Troy Pride Jr., CB, Notre Dame (3rd/4th round): Pride projects as a starter on the outside, although he did get some time at nickel in college. Just under 6-foot, Pride can play both man coverage at the line of scrimmage or drop back into zone. Tackling is a bit of a concern.
Defensive ends:
Yetur Gross-Matos, DE, Penn State: Gross-Matos was an extremely productive pass rusher at Penn State, totaling 17.5 sacks and a whopping 37 hurries over the last two seasons. Gross-Matos is an elite athlete at 6-foot-4 with long arms and great burst off of the line of scrimmage. He was strong against the run as well, totaling 34.5 tackles-for-a-loss the last two seasons.
Curtis Weaver, DE, Boise State: Totaled 13.5 sacks last season and 34.0 overall in three years at Boise State. He lived behind the line of scrimmage, finishing his time in college with 47.5 tackles for a loss in 40 games played. He not only dropped back in to coverage at times, but actually made a few plays while doing so, totaling six pass deflections and an interception (which he returned for a touchdown) in three seasons.
Terrell Lewis, DE, Alabama: Lewis, 6-foot-5, 252 pounds, totaled seven sacks and 13.5 tackles-for-a-loss in two seasons at Alabama, which six of them coming last season. Part of the reason his production doesn't jump off the page is he played in only 14 games in college due to injuries. Lewis suffered a torn ligament in his elbow in the first game of the 2017 season, then tore his ACL during the summer before the 2018 season. Lewis is extremely talented when healthy, which is why he is projected to go so high despite a checkered medical history. Lewis would be a high-risk, high-reward pick by the Eagles.
Darrell Taylor, DE, Tennessee: Taylor has been an extremely productive player for Tennessee over the last two seasons after seeing limited playing time his first three years. Taylor has totaled 16.5 sacks and 21 tackles for a loss in his 24 college games after finishing with just three sacks in his first three seasons. Standing 6-foot-3, 259 pounds, Taylor is an intriguing late-bloomer that could be a mid-round steal for the Eagles.
Linebackers:
Malik Harrison, MLB, Ohio State: Harrison, 6-foot-2, 246 pounds, has both the size and speed to be a three-down linebacker in the NFL. He is best against the run, frequently shedding blocks and getting to the ball carrier. He spent a good portion of last season behind the line of scrimmage, finishing with 16.0 tackles for a loss and 4.5 sacks.
Akeem Davis-Gather, LB, Appalachian State: Davis-Gather could step onto the Eagles tomorrow and be the best coverage linebacker they have. The 6-foot-1, 219 pound linebacker has the speed and athleticism to play man coverage, and the football IQ to drop into zone if needed.
Offensive Line:
Matt Hennessy, C, Temple: Hennessy's experience in a shotgun-heavy offense will be appealing to the Eagles. Hennessy might not be able to play guard, but he does have the football IQ and mobility to eventually take over for Kelce, especially if he gets a year to develop behind him. He is especially strong in the open field on screen plays.
Nick Harris, C, Washington: Harris brings perhaps the best position versatility among all the centers in the draft, as he started two games at left guard, 15 games at right guard and 25 at center during his time at Washington. Harris, 6-foot-1, 293 pounds, was able to play all three spots because he is an excellent athlete that has a great combination of both power and speed.
Jonah Jackson, OG, Ohio State: Jackson has spent time at all three interior offensive line positions, starting 10-plus games at both guard spots and five at center. Johnson is a good athlete for a player his size (6-foot-3, 310 pounds) and has the kind of attitude and smarts you like to see from offensive linemen. He allowed just one sack in 44 college games.
Saahdiq Charles, OT, LSU: Charles, 6-foot-4, 295 pounds, is very similar to Andre Dillard in that he is an excellent athlete but needs to add strength. Has only spent time on the left side, but with 28 starts at LSU he could potentially be the top backup at left tackle right away.
Ben Bartch, OT, St Johns: Barcth is a project at offensive tackle as he is a recently converted tight end. He is an elite athlete for the tackle position, however, and has good size at 6-foot-5, 308 pounds. He needs coaching, but with Jeff Stoutland teaching him, he should be ready to play soon.
Safeties:
Grant Delpit, LSU: Delpit brings a lot of the same qualities McKinney does, as he can play man coverage while also having the sideline-to-sideline speed to play deep if needed. He is a playmaker around the ball, coming away with eight interceptions and 24 pass deflections over the last three seasons. The main issue with Delpit is his tackling, which is a concern if he is playing deep as the last-line of defense.
Antoine Winfield Jr., Minnesota: A hard hitter than plays with the same physicality as linebacker at times against the run, Winfield also has enough speed to play deep and come away with the ball when he gets the chance. The slightly undersized 5-foot-10 safety had an impressive seven interceptions last season, returning one 98 yards for the touchdown. Add in his three sacks and 3.5 tackles for a loss, and Winfield has "impact player" written all over him.
Ashtyn Davis, California: Davis (6-foot-1, 195 pounds) doesn't bring the versatility that other safeties on this list do, but he is perhaps the fastest safety in the draft and is a playmaker in the back half of the defense. Davis is quick enough to make plays on passes that other safeties can't, coming away with seven interceptions in the last three seasons despite almost never playing man coverage.
Jeremy Chinn, Southern Illinois: Standing 6-foot-4, Chinn is one of the more explosive safeties in the draft, capable of making plays at all three levels of the defense. Although he can play man coverage, Chinn might be at his best when he is capable of roaming in the back in the end of defense, where his long frame and quick speed allow him to react quickly and make plays on the ball. Chinn has the size to cover tight ends if needed and the speed to cover slot receivers.
K'Von Wallace, Clemson: Clemson moved Wallace all over the field and it is easy to see the Eagles doing the same, especially with their new emphasis on positionless players. Wallace is very good, but not great, at everything — he has good speed, he can play deep, he is a solid tackler and spent more than half of his snaps last season in the slot.
Terrell Burgess, Utah: Burgess is undersized at 5-foot-11, but is a smart football player that got plenty of experience in Utah's loaded secondary. Burgess spent a good portion of last season in the slot, and was adequate in coverage, but projects better as a deep safety. Burgess is a physical player that is helpful against the run.
Kyle Dugger, Lenoir-Rhyne: Dugger comes to the draft with some injury concerns. He missed all but one game in 2016 with a meniscus injury and then seven games in 2019 with a hand injury. There is no denying when he is on the field, however, Dugger is a talented player. Dugger has good size for the position, standing 6-foot-1 with long arms and enough speed to get sideline-to-sideline when playing deep.
Wide Receivers:
Tee Higgins, Clemson: Higgins has the size, hands and wingspan to be an elite-level, No. 1 receiver on the outside. Although his 40-time might have scared some off, Higgins has a quick first step and didn't look slow during his time at Clemson when he averaged more yards-per-catch than Henry Ruggs did.
KJ Hamler, Penn State: Hamler has an elite trait that can't be coached. Not only is Hamler lighting quick, but he is the most dangerous player in the draft after the catch. He accelerates at the same level Ruggs does, and when he gets even the littlest bit of daylight, he is gone. The concern about Hamler's size (just 5-foot-8) and hands are fair.
Laviska Shenault Jr., Colorado: Shenault is one of the biggest risks in the draft. At his best, he is a bigger, stronger Sammy Watkins, who can muscle his way through contact while also beating teams down the field. He is also extremely versatile, and can be equally effective from the outside and the slot, while even taking snaps at quarterback.
Michael Pittman Jr., USC: Pittman dropped only five of the 260 passes that came his way in four seasons at USC. Pittman looks like a player that can be a really good No. 2 receiver at the next level, especially when paired with a speed guy on the other side.
James Proche, SMU: Standing 5-foot-10, Proche did his damage a variety of different ways at SMU. He was a deep threat, he was a red zone target and he worked the middle of the field. His stats the last two seasons — 318 targets, 204 catches, 2,422 yards and 27 touchdowns — are not the kind of numbers you usually see from a player built like Proche.
Devin Duvernay, Texas: Not only does Duvernay have some of the best hands in the draft, but he is an underrated athlete, who consistently ran away from defenders after the catch. A four-year player at Texas, Duvernay is a great route runner and his experience should make his transition to the NFL a quick one.
Denzil Mims, Baylor: I've tried to talk myself into Mims, but I just can't do it. He is athletic and tests great, but I am very weary of a player that shoots up draft boards one the season is over, and does it on the backs of a great Combine workout. What really concerns me about Mims is the drops.
Van Jefferson, Florida: Jefferson is an extremely impressive player to watch that has great hands, good size, and is just an all-around solid receiver. He comes across as an extremely competitive player. He has the ability to lineup both in the slot and on the outside, as he is 6-foot-1 with a quick first step.
Antonio Gandy-Golden, Liberty: Like Shenault, Gandy-Golden has a dangerous combination of high upside and bust potential. There are plays where he looks like the next great receiver, as he stands 6-foot-4 and is tough to bring down after the catch. He has great hands, dropping only 12 passes — and only four last year — in 295 targets during his college career.
Tyler Johnson, Minnesota: Johnson reminded me a bit of bigger Stefon Diggs when watching him. He has breakaway speed when in the open field, and is deceivingly tough to bring down. He would be much higher on this list if it wasn't for the drops, which are a major concern.
Quaterbacks:
Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma: Hurts is smaller than the Eagles usually like their quarterbacks, standing 6-foot-1, 218 pounds, but he has a cannon for an arm and is extremely effective moving around the pocket. Hurts finished with a whopping 1,448 yards rushing last season (excluding sacks) for Oklahoma on 210 attempts. His accuracy is average, but he has a strong enough arm to squeeze passes into tight windows and throws a nice deep ball.
