Free Safety, Louisville
As some of you know, I have always contended the Eagles need to draft a pass rusher in the first round. In the past few weeks I have started to see things a little differently. A good linebacker or defensive end can be picked up in later rounds. But the Eagles haven’t been the same since safety Brian Dawkins left the squad. Pryor is explosive and has great insight on the field. He would be a great addition on the field. Sometimes he plays with reckless abandon and gets a little sloppy with his angles but that is something Eagles Defensive Coordinator Billy Davis can help with. Maybe he could even transition to cornerback?
