15 Philadelphia Eagles LB targets to potentially replace Nigel Bradham
There’s no doubt that Kenneth Murray is a three-down starter in the NFL. Sure, he’s overly aggressive at times and that leads to him running himself out of plays, but he’s also a headhunter who plays with an attitude, something this team desperately needs.
That’s exactly what you want to hear and what you want to see if you’re a ‘Birds’ fan.
While it’s highly unlikely that the Eagles wind up with Murray, he’s been given both first-round and second-round grades, so they’ll do their due diligence. He’s a six-foot-two, 238-pound prospect who racked up 102 tackles and four sacks in his final season with the Oklahoma Sooners.
He isn’t just the best linebacker on this list. He’s one of the best prospects in the class regardless of position.
The Alabama Crimson Tide is losing one of the best prospects in this draft class with the departure of Anfernee Jennings, but come on. It’s the Tide. They’ll reload and be fine.
For Jennings, the green pastures of the NFL await. Like Bradham and Murray, he can play both the inside and outside linebacker positions. He’s tall, thick, and rangy. He stands at six-foot-three. He weighs in at around 262 pounds, and in 2019, he racked up 83 tackles, eight sacks, an interception, five pass breakups, and a forced fumble.
He’s been given everything from first-round grades to a few that have him coming off of draft boards in Round 3.
