UCF CB Tay Gowan could be the perfect addition to the Philadelphia Eagles.

At six-foot-two and 185 pounds, University of Central Florida cornerback Tay Gowan has excellent size to go along with great ball skills, and the football intelligence coaches covet. Capable of playing on an island and facing the best of the best. Gowan would be a great addition to the Philly defense. One which could wind up being one of the best investments in recent history.

Although he has flown under the radar, the UCF product has all the tools to be a star at the next level. The Eagles would be wise to add him here if possible.

Vanderbilt DE could boost the Philadelphia Eagles defense at 84.

Dayo Odeyingbo has the rare combination of size (he’s six-foot-six and weighs 275 pounds) and dominant speed to make him a star in the National Football League. He is a true defensive force and has the athletic makeup to terrorize offensive lineman for years. The long-bodied prospect would be a great addition to the Eagles’ pass rush.

Letting him learn behind Brandon Graham could help him develop into a long-term pass rusher for the Birds.
