Todd McShay each make three picks for the Eagles Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY
SportsNFL draft analysts Mel Kiper and Todd McShay recently teamed up for a new
ESPN Insider mock where they each made one selection for every pick in the first
two rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft.The Eagles obviously have three picks in the
first two rounds so that means there’s a total of six selections here for
Philadelphia. Let’s take a look.MEL KIPERWe’ll start off with Kiper’s picks
first. Abram is who Kiper previously had the Eagles picking in his Version 3.0
mock draft. Again, I have a hard time envisioning Philly drafting a box safety
with their first-round pick. If the Eagles are looking for an eventual Jenkins
replacement, I think they’d be looking at safeties who excel in coverage,
especially given those type of defenders are the prospects the Eagles have been
showing pre-draft interest in. I’d also like to note Kiper has the Eagles
passing on Cody Ford here to take Abram. The Eagles have been showing a lot of
interest in Howard this offseason. They met with him at the Senior Bowl, the
Combine, and at their own facility for an official pre-draft visit. Philly could
look to hedge their bet on Jordan Mailata by drafting another developmental
tackle prospect like Howard and hoping for the best. It’s easy to imagine the
Eagles drafting a linebacker at some point this year since they don’t have an
established starter in the middle of the defense. Okereke might be a reach here
though with various scouting reports pegging him as more of a Day 3
pick.Overall, not overly thrilled with this haul from Kiper.TODD MCSHAYI’d be
surprised to see the Eagles take a first-round cornerback given that they
already have six corners who seem very likely to make the roster (barring trade)
in 2019: Ronald Darby, Jalen Mills, Avonte Maddox, Rasul Douglas, Sidney Jones,
Cre’Von LeBlanc. Darby and Mills are coming off injuries suffered in 2018 but
they’re very much in the starting picture when healthy. Where does a rookie
corner fit into that picture? I’m just not seeing it. I can understand the
argument for the long-term need at corner. Darby and Mills will both be free
agents after this year. Jones is very much injury prone. Maddox might be more of
a nickel while Douglas has been up and down. But the Eagles’ actions this
offseason are one of a team that’s really making an aggressive push to win in
2019. It doesn’t seem like drafting a first-round corner lines up with that
goal. With that said, the Eagles ARE reportedly hosting Baker on a pre-draft
visit, so I guess it’s not impossible they take him. If he’s CLEARLY the best
player by far remaining on the board at No. 25, they should take him (or trade
down). There’s just no need to force a pick at corner, though.Sanders is an
interesting prospect because there’s some thought he has untapped potential,
especially as a pass catcher. He only had 32 receptions for 193 yards (low 6.0
average) and one touchdown for Penn State but he also had to deal with playing
behind Saquon Barkley for two years. The Eagles should absolutely be looking for
a dynamic, pass-catching back in the 2019 NFL Draft to pair with Howard. Sanders
boasts quality athleticism and skills to believe he can be an early contributor
in the Eagles’ running back rotaiton. There could be hope for him to eventually
be the 1A in Philly’s system.Thornhill, listed as a corner here, is a safety
prospect that makes sense for the Eagles. Philly hosted him on a pre-draft visit
and it’s not hard to see why they’re interested in him. Thornhill logged 26
passes defensed and 13 interceptions in four years at Virginia; he’s a
play-maker. Thornhill’s versatility makes him a potential replacement for
Jenkins (unlike the aforementioned Abram). Overall, this haul seems preferable
to what Kiper gave the Eagles. Even despite the first-round corner quandary. So,
what do you think? Who has the better pick for the Eagles? Selections for the
second and third rounds.An exciting first round of the 2019 NFL Draft is over
and I am sure Eagles fans are far from done with their hunger for new players
being added to the roster. With two second-round picks on tap for tonight, there
are opportunities for the Eagles to draft impact players today. Here’s a look at
how Day 2 could shake out.Round Two33. Arizona: Cody Ford, OL, Oklahoma34.
Indianapolis (from N.Y. Jets): DK Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss35. Oakland: Greedy

Gerald Willis, IDL, Miami53. Philadelphia (from Baltimore): Jaylon Ferguson,
EDGE, LaTech - After a loaded class, a surprising first round and some bad
testing caused Jaylon Ferguson to drop; the Eagles can take a chance on the
productive pass rusher on day two. There is still a lot to like about Ferguson’s
technique, motor and first step that could be very helpful on the Eagles
defense. 54. Houston (from Seattle): Trayvon Mullen, CB, Clemson55. Houston:
Miles Sanders, RB, Penn State56. New England (from Chicago): Irv Smith Jr, TE,
Alabama57. Philadelphia: Darrell Henderson, RB, Memphis - While this could be a
wide receiver, pairing Henderson in the backfield with Jordan Howard seems like
too good of an opportunity to be true. The Eagles would be set at running back
this year with Henderson on the roster and he could emerge as the long term
starter. 58. Dallas: Nasir Adderley, DB, Delaware59. Indianapolis: Dre’Mont
