4 Notre Dame prospects who instantly upgrade Philadelphia Eagles roster

For all intents and purposes, the wise draft strategy for a team with a potential ten draft choices would be to invest a couple of those picks into what is seen as the weakest position group on the team. For the Philadelphia Eagles, that would be the wide receiver corps on offense and the cornerbacks on defense.

Most of us believe that Philly will invest their first two selections into grabbing one of each. We should also expect that it’s reasonable to believe Philly grabs an additional corner in the mid-rounds. That’s where Troy Pride Jr. comes in.

In 2019, he tallied 40 tackles, an interception, and six pass breakups. He wasn’t overly-explosive, but he does qualify as solid. 121 total tackles, four picks, a forced fumble, and 18 pass breakups are the result of 37 games at the collegiate level.

He’s six-foot-tall. He weighs 190 pounds, and he has the speed to keep up with the NFL’s speedier receivers. Draft experts have him coming off of boards sometime between Round 4 and Round 6.
