I tend to agree that this was a good trade. But seattle seahawks jerseys at the time, I sent out a tweet that basically said 25 spots in the third round for a player with one year left on his deal, isn't nothing. (That tweet was met by plenty of disgruntled viewers.) But it is very true, 25 spots in the third is something, and it showed when the round played out last Friday night.
The Eagles had to wait until pick No. 99 to draft West Virginia corner Rasul Douglas, who might end up being very good and could very well become a starter this season. So basically, the Eagles got Douglas and a year of Jernigan, plus first crack at re signing him, for the 74th pick.
"[Douglas] was one Cheap Team Jerseys of the guys, when we made the trade, that we talked about possibly losing out in that 74 to 99 mix," Eagles VP of football operations Howie Roseman said. "It was a long way to go from 43 to 99, but we feel like this guy fits our system."
It's very possible Douglas was one of the players the Eagles had in mind for their 74th pick. And while the trade was still probably a good one for the Eagles, it's fair to wonder how Davis ranks among some of the other players who went in that 74 99 span.
So here's a look at all of them, with some highlighted:
74. Ravens: DE Chris Wormley
The Ravens immediately replaced depth on their D line, using the Eagles' pick to take Wormley, a 6 foot 5, 298 pound, first team All Big 10 selection from Michigan. While Wormley isn't flashy, he was very productive in college, something that seems extremely important to the new Eagles regime with Joe Douglas. While Wormley will be a five technique end for Baltimore, he could have played inside for the Eagles.
75. Falcons: LB Duke Riley
76. Saints: LB Alex Anzalone
77. Panthers: DE Daeshon Hall
While Myles Garrett went No. 1 overall, his Texas A teammate on the other side of the line goes in the third. He didn't have near the same college production and is more of a projection pick which wouldn't fit the Eagles draft but is extremely athletic and could become a good pass rusher in the NFL.
78. Ravens: OLB Tim Williams
79. Jets: WR ArDarius Stewart
80. Colts: DE Tarell Basham
Basham played at Ohio, so he didn't get a ton of notice, but cheap world cup jerseys if the Eagles wanted players with a high motor and relentless pursuit, Basham fits. Some of the most fun tape of any defensive prospect from the draft.
81. Redskins: CB Fabian Moreau
82. Broncos: WR Carson Henderson
Henderson, from Louisiana Tech, would have been a cheap nfl jerseys great fit with the Eagles and was simply a better prospect than the other two receivers they drafted. Henderson is an explosive playmaker as a receiver and a kick returner and he averaged 19.6 yards per catch in college, something that seemed important to the Eagles based on their later picks.
83. Patriots: DE Derek Rivers
84. Buccaneers: WR Chris Godwin
Plenty of fans in this area are familiar with Godwin, who excelled at Penn State. Godwin put up impressive numbers with the Nittany Lions, then ran a 4.42 at the combine.
