The Eagles' final pick of the draft is in, and with the 233rd overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Howie Roseman has selected Stanford DE/OLB Casey Toohill.
Toohill, 6-foot-4, 247 pounds, finished with 124 tackles, 21.5 tackles for a loss and 14.0 sacks in four seasons at Stanford. He had his best season last year, finishing with eight sacks and 11.5 tackles for a loss. He will join an Eagles' defensive end group that is in need of help among the backups, but more than likely the best case scenario for Toohill is a spot on the practice squad in 2020, with hopes of contributing in 2021.
Scouting report, via NFL.com:
Toohill's a tricky projection based upon his issues stopping the run, but he has great flashes as a pass rusher. His body type may not be fully finished and additional play strength would be crucial considering his inability to anchor and shed against run blocks. His rush is much less effective against stronger tackles, but he's a decent athlete and hints at rush skill that has room for development. He's currently caught between a 3-4 OLB and 4-3 DE. If he can become bigger, stronger and more polished as a rusher, he might make sense as a backup edge with sub-package talent as a wide-9 technique.
