Drake Jackson could be the perfect fit in the Philadelphia Eagles offense.

Whether you want to admit it or not, the Philadelphia Eagles need to find Jason Kelce’s replacement before he leaves. Kentucky center Drake Jackson has all the tools and the raw athletic ability to take over when the legend calls it a career.

A road grader with a scrappy mentality, Jackson loves to start a fight and finish it. The thick-based bully has the football IQ to lead the Eagles offense along with the nasty playing style fans fall in love with.

The six-foot-two and 295-pound product could be a legit starter in the NFL, one that could pay huge dividends for the Philly offense.

Trade alert: Philadelphia Eagles front office pulls off another trade to land a DB.

Trade details: 

The Philadelphia Eagles front office pulls off another trade to land a DB.

Philadelphia sends their fifth-round pick, a sixth-round pick, and a future fifth-round pick in 2022 to Kansas City. The Chiefs send the last pick in the fourth round, the 144th-overall to Philly.

With that selection, the Eagles pounce and get an underrated defensive back, Cincinnati safety James Wiggins. He has all the skills to be a star in the NFL. Trading back up to land the defender could be a huge steal at this stage of the draft.
