6. Oklahoma Linebacker Kenneth Murray

Over the last couple of seasons, the Eagles always seem to be in need of help at linebacker this time of year, and it looks like this will be the case once again for 2020.

When it comes to Oklahoma’s Kenneth Murray, the linebacker is projected to go in the first or second round at the moment, which is why Philadelphia will most likely take this possibility into consideration at No. 21, assuming his stock doesn’t decline.

In three seasons with the Sooners, Murray constantly found ways to make a serious impact on the defensive side of the football after finish his career with 9.5 sacks to go along with 36.5. tackles for loss.

Once April arrives, there’s a good chance that numerous teams will be looking to add a linebacker early on in the draft, meaning the Eagles could have plenty of competition for Murray if the interest were there.

If Murray’s three seasons at Oklahoma are any indication of what to expect at the NFL level, the linebacker should be in for a stellar career, whether it happens to be in Philadelphia or elsewhere.

Even if Murray needed a little time to adjust to the NFL, this selection would still seem worthy in the long run.
