Let’s take a moment and rank every Philadelphia Eagles prospect from top to bottom that heard their name called on Day 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft.
If you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan, the 2020 NFL Draft had everything. There was the joy of them taking a wide receiver in Round 1 but, in some circles, there was the disappointment of knowing that his name was Jalen Reagor, whose only crime was not being named Justin Jefferson and being drafted too high in the minds of some people.
We’ve since heard that, as the draft approached, he was climbing boards, and he was a guy that the “Birds” really wanted. His selection should prove to be one that won’t let fans down.
Then, there was Day 2, and the world fell apart. Philly landed a monster in Davion Taylor in Round 3, but the greatest day of his football career was overshadowed by the fact that a quarterback was taken in Round 2. That brings us to the draft’s final day.
Day 3 began, and Howie Roseman traded back a couple of times but earned a 2021 selection and turned one draft pick into four in the process. That allowed him to land arguably some of the best prospects that he could have with so many players already being off of the board.
Let’s talk about those Day 3 prospects and hand out a few critiques.
Everything was taken into consideration in constructing this power ranking, including the following: how the Eagles are currently constructed at the position, current team needs, how the prospect performed at the collegiate level, whether or not his skill set translates to the NFL level, and of course the difficulty that he might face in making the team. Let’s get started. This ought to be interesting.
