My favorite CB target for hte Eagles and their scheme is now Jalen Collins. I think they could get him in the second round.If we step away from the pipe dream for a moment, we can take a look at some names the Eagles should target with the 20th pick.
Obviously if a guy like Landon Collins falls, I think you have to take him but most mocks have him going to Chicago at 9.
Trae Waynes could fall there and has good attributes for a CB.
Andrus Peat is a late first tackle that has a combination of speed and size similar to Lane Johnson. Could start out at guard and take over for Peters once he's done.
Kevin Johnson at CB is another guy who can press and stay with WRs according to his scouting report.
Marcus Peters has some character issues but if he can play the way they say he can, it won't matter. A bit undersized but can flat out cover.
Cedric Ogbeuhi is going in the high teens right now but another athletic tackle that would fit the scheme well.
Lots of solid talent that could contribute right away.
Eric Kendricks is a guy that jumps out to me in the first. The OT Collins from LSU is another possibility. It's starting to look like Mariota could fall. He went 18th in Bucky Brooks' recent mock. We could probably leapfrog to 17 for a 3rd if that happens.
Paul Dawson is another guy that fits what we want to do here. Probably will go in the early second. Jalen Mills is the obvious safety target for the scheme as well. If we don't get Mariota, I think a lot of the guys we are targeting will be available with a trade down.
Landon Collins isn't a great scheme fit for The Eagles either. He's more of a thumper SS, while a slot covering, rangy safety, would be a better fit.
We'll also see where we are when the draft comes around. Besides Jason Worilds, I don't know who The Eagles are targeting in free agency. Devin McCourty makes sense, but he's probably staying with or getting tagged by the Patriots. Brooks Reed would be nice, but wouldn't be necessary if we got Worilds. With Undler now being the DB's coach, it makes you wonder if Rahim Moore is also a target.
