Philadelphia Eagles: 10 early candidates for No. 21 pick in 2020 NFL Draft

1. Florida Cornerback C.J. Henderson

Eagles fans may be tired of seeing so many cornerbacks this high on this list, but also this the perfect example of how this is arguably their top position need entering the offseason.

Throughout the 2019 season, cornerback was one of the most difficult positions to figure out for Philadelphia since the group would look amazing one week, only to struggle the next.

Take a look at the month of December for example when the unit looked horrendous during a road loss to the Miami Dolphins, yet found a way to keep Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys out of the end zone in a critical Week 16 battle.

If Philadelphia doesn’t end up using a first-round pick on a cornerback, there’s no question they will use either their second or third-round selection to address the need.

But since it’s early in the offseason, it only seems fair to assume the No. 21 pick will be used on the position if a player is too good to turn down.

Could that player end up being Florida’s C.J. Henderson after looking at his impact from the previous three years with the Gators?

With his size and speed, Henderson seems like he would be an easy selection if available for the Eagles at No. 21, and help the defense fill a top need early on in the draft.
