13. Shaun Wade, cornerback/safety hybrid, Ohio State

Everyone knows that Shaun Wade is talented, but if you’re looking for a tangible comparison, Shaun Wade isn’t much faster than Rasul Douglas. He may not have the jets to keep up with the faster receivers the NFL has to offer, and he’s probably better to play safety at the pro level.

He’s six-foot-one. He weighs 194 pounds, and he’s probably coming off of draft boards in Round 2 or Round 3. He’s accumulated 25 tackles, two sacks, an interception, and eight pass deflections so far in 2019. He missed the 2017 season because of abdominal surgery but seems to have gotten healthy.

14. Isaiah Simmons, outside linebacker, Clemson

If the Eagles get serious about adding an outside linebacker, there’s no better place to look than Clemson’s front seven. If they do that, they’re sure to find out that Isaiah Simmons is interesting. He may not end up in Eagles green, as they’d probably be smarter to address more pressing needs earlier (like cornerback or wide receiver).

He figures to come off of draft boards in Round 1.
