Round 3:LB Davion Taylor
Taylor played two seasons at Colorado. He had 72 tackles and eight tackles for a loss in his final season. He also ran track his junior season. He ran a career-best 10.51 seconds in the 100-meter dash at the Pac-12 Championships in 2018.
Taylor is raw in experience, but the physical tools are tantalizing. He ran a 4.49 40-yard dash at 228 pounds at the NFL Combine. A special team’s role, where Taylor’s speed can be utilized, is the best route to immediate playing time, but his development at linebacker will determine his true value.
Round 4: SS K’Von Wallace
K’Von Wallace, A versatile safety coming out of Clemson University, was an amazing value pick for the birds. 4th rounders usually are lacking the career accolades K’von possesses. 2nd Team All ACC defensive back, and National Championship winner. Wallace speed and fearlessness is quick to remind Eagles fans of another former great Clemson safety, Brian Dawkins. Exciting Fact, K’von was actually a college roommate of the son of Dawkins.
Round 5: LT Jake Driscol
The Eagles selected offensive tackle Jack Driscoll out of Auburn with the 145th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Driscoll finished his college career with 45 starts in 46 total games. His versatility will serve him well as the Eagles relish that in their offensive linemen. I expected a position change to guard is imminent with the eagle’s current LT positional depth.
Round 5: WR John Hightower
The Eagles added Jalen Reagor in the first-round on Thursday and then added the athletic John Hightower from Boise State in the fifth round.
An elite athlete who’ll give opponents matchup nightmares, Hightower led Boise State in receiving last season. A former JUCO star, Hightower is a big-time vertical threat that can damage a defense from multiple positions. Hightower went to Hinds Community College in Mississippi to run track after high school but ended up excelling in football. Hightower is slight of frame, although tall and the dominant plays he made in college won’t come in the NFL without added speed and muscle.
Round 6: LB Shaun Bradley
Undersized inside linebacker better-suited at the WILL spot in a 3-4, where he can be protected by size around him. He has enough speed and nose for the football to find work on this level, but it may not translate to success in the pros due to his lack of traits and plus speed. He’s not twitchy or athletic enough to get away without top-notch instincts and recognition. He’s just average in those areas. He loves football. The intangibles and special teams production could give him a shot.
Excited about these future stars, FLY EAGLES FLY!!!
