If you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan and want to see some decent cornerback play, check out these NCAA standouts. Might Philly place them on the draft board?

It’s reached a point where Philadelphia Eagles fans have realized there may need to be an overhaul at cornerback. All we talked about all Spring and Summer was the depth that Philly had at so many positions. Fast forward, and no one’s saying those things anymore.

Ronald Darby can’t stay healthy, and when he is, it hasn’t seemed to make a difference. Rarely do we mention Jalen Mills anymore. Avonte Maddox is good, but he has a ton of room for improvement. Sidney Jones has hurt himself again, but then again, that’s always the case. Then, there’s something else. No one is one-hundred percent sure when Cre’Von LeBlanc will be back.

That means Rasul Douglas, perhaps Philly’s best corner now, and Craig James are the only two cover guys on the roster that we can say are ready to play a game right now. Jalen Ramsey remains a hot topic, but it seems as though the word out of Jacksonville is this.

Tom Coughlin doesn’t want Ramsey. Shahid Khan does. We know where Eagles fans stand. Whether a trade to land Ramsey comes to pass is anyone’s guess, but here’s what we do know. The Eagles need to invest a high draft pick (maybe two) on a cover guy. Here are ten of the best at the NCAA level. Give some of them a look if you aren’t doing anything this weekend.
