Day 3 – 2020 Draft Preview

Relax. Take a deep breath. Let’s move on from yesterday and think about Day 3 of the 2020 Draft. The Eagles have five picks today and there is still plenty of talent on the board.

Here are my top players left on the board.

OT Prince Tega Wanogho – Auburn
WR Gabriel Davis – UCF
DT James Lynch – Baylor
LB Akeem Davis-Gaither – Appalachian State
OT Saadhiq Charles – LSU
RB Anthony McFarland – Maryland
OC Nick Harris – Washington
CB Bryce Hall – Virginia
S Geno Stone – Iowa
CB Reggie Robinson – Tulsa
S K’Von Wallace – Clemson
OT Jack Driscoll – Auburn
CB Amik Robertson – Louisiana Tech
OT Ben Bartch – St. John’s
OG Ben Bredeson – Michigan
OG John Simpson – Clemson
OC Tyler Biadasz – Wisconsin
DE Alton Robinson – Syracuse
DT Leki Fotu – Utah
CB Darnay Holmes – UCLA
CB Troy Pride – Notre Dame
TE Albert Okwuegbunam – Missouri

Let’s talk about areas the Eagles could address.

WR – They added a speedster in Reagor. I’d love to see them get a bigger guy, but there aren’t many left. They could add another speedy playmaker. That wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

RB – There are still several good options. I’d prefer a runner in the 215-220 pound range. They could wait and go for a UDFA. They don’t have to spend a pick to add a talented runner.

TE – I would prefer to make this a position to address with a UDFA, but the Eagles may have a high grade on someone and go for him.

OL – Plenty of talent left here. I’m real curious to see if they go T, G, or C. They could add a pair of blockers if the value is right.

DE – Good options left here as well.

DT – I like Lynch and Robert Windsor quite a bit. Not a position of need, though.

LB – Part of me would love to see them get Akeem Davis-Gaither and having another speedy LB for the middle of the defense.

S – I think the Eagles need to add one.

CB – Lots of talent left here. I expect the Eagles to add one.

*****

My ideal scenario for the day.

4 – WR Gabriel Davis – UCF
4 – CB Amik Robertson – Louisiana Tech
4 – S Grayland Arnold – Baylor
5 – OT Charlie Heck – UNC
6 – DE Derrek Tuszka – North Dakota State

Davis would give the Eagles a WR with some size and good hands.

Robertson is the kind of CB that Jim Schwartz loves.

Arnold was a CB at Baylor, but he only runs 4.65. He has terrific ball skills and is quite a playmaker. He could be a natural at safety.

Heck played LT in college and has the size/skill to play there in the NFL. Could be a good swing tackle.

Tuszka has size and athleticism. He also has a great motor. He would be great value in the 6th round.
