2024 NFL Draft prospects that must be placed on the Eagles board now
. player. 814. . . . Brock Bowers, UGA Bulldogs
We most certainly put a couple of Bulldogs on the list. At this point, why wouldn’t we (especially if the idea works)?
Occasionally, the Eagles get these wild ideas. Some work, like turning a former rugby star into a left tackle (Jordan Mailata). Other ideas haven’t produced the results we have hoped for, turning a big quarterback into a tight end for instance (Tyree Jackson)
Don’t get us wrong. We love the creativity, but at this point, we’d rather they draft an actual tight end like Brock Bowers seeing as how he’s already what they hope Jackson winds up becoming.
We know Philly liked Tyree because of his size. He’s six-foot-seven and weighs 245 pounds. Bowers is a physical marvel in his own right at six-foot-four and 230 pounds.
. player. 814. . . . Kamari Lassiter, Georgia
Kamari Lassiter has the prototypical size for an NFL cornerback. He’s six-foot-tall and tips the scales at 180 pounds. He rises to the top of the Bulldogs’ depth chart in 2023. Last season, he collected 38 tackles and broke up four passes.
His teammate, Javon Bullard, is someone to watch as well, but at five-foot-eleven, the latter may grade out as a slot corner.
