4. D’Andre Walker

Walker is a six-foot-two, 251-pound mystery. Though he never started a game for the Georgia Bulldogs, he’s been given a grade of 5.84 by NFL.com, meaning he has a chance to work his way into a starting role for some NFL team.

During his career in Athens, he racked up 112 total tackles, 13.5 sacks and five forced fumbles. Lance Zierlein compares him to Dee Ford. There’s been nothing linking him to Philly at this point, but with the amount of research the Eagles do, you can bet they know who he is.

It’s doubtful he’ll be an Eagle though.

5. Jachai Polite

Here’s another of those defensive end/ outside linebacker hybrids. This First-Team All-SEC selection is a lot like Burns in the fact that both seem to be fits for outside linebacker in the 3-4 scheme, but in Philly’s 4-3, he’s better suited to play defensive end.

Well, at least we know he’s versatile.
