The Eagles are likely to add a cornerback in the NFL draft and the April’s selection offers an opportunity for Philadelphia to land one of several top-flight prospects with three first-round picks.
Touchdown Wire’s Laurie Fitzpatrick recently evaluated three of the top cornerback prospects on the board based on the defensive schemes that best fit their skill sets.
There are about four or five first-round worth cornerbacks that’ll be on the board, and Fitzpatrick took a deep look at LSU’s Derek Stingley, Cincinnati’s Ahmad ‘Sauce’ Gardner, and Washington’s Trent McDuffie based on their ability to play zone, man and match coverage.
