And here’s how you, the readers, graded that pick:Far from “Grade A” material.It’s not impossible to envision the Eagles drafting a safety in the first round this year. There’s a need there. Malcolm Jenkins turns 32 this season after playing every single defensive snap in 2018. Rodney McLeod, who is coming off a serious knee injury, is set to be a free agent after 2019. It also needs to be considered that cutting Andrew Sendejo can potentially allow the Eagles to receive a fourth-round compensatory pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. A rookie safety can supplant Sendejo in 2019 before taking over as a full-time starter in 2020.The problems with the Abram pick, as I see it, are the questions regarding fit and value. Are the Eagles really taking a box safety in the first round? Is Abram really a first round prospect? Here’s how various media outlets have him ranked.Daniel Jeremiah: 23rdESPN: 24thCBS Sports: 43rdThe Draft Network: 65thPro Football Focus: 112ndIf the Eagles are drafting a safety at No. 25 http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-paul-worrilow-jersey , I just feel like it’d be a player who excels more in coverage such as Chauncey Gardner-Johnson or Nasir Adderely. Or perhaps the Eagles could potentially grab Juan Thornhill or Darnell Savage on Day 2.Moving past Abram, Tytus Howard is a prospect who’s definitely on Philly’s radar. The Eagles met with him at the Senior Bowl, used one of their 60 formal interviews with him at the NFL Combine, sent offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland to put him through his pro day workout, and hosted him on an official pre-draft visit in Philadelphia. There’s some sense to drafting an offensive tackle this year with 37-year-old Jason Peters likely done after 2019 and Halapoulivaati Vaitai currently set to be a free agent in March 2020. Maybe the Eagles see Howard as a replacement for JP despite also having Jordan Mailata on the team. Left tackle isn’t a position to treat lightly so it might not be the worst idea for the team to hedge their bet on Mailata. Then again, are the Eagles comfortable with using No. 53 on a developmental player?No. 57 seems rich for Bobby Okereke. The Stanford linebacker is ranked No. 110 overall by TDN, No. 158 overall by PFF, and No. 164 overall by CBS. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein projects him as a selection in the fourth or fifth round. The Eagles can certainly afford to address the linebacker position in this year’s draft but I think they wait to do it on Day 3.As with McShay’s scenario from earlier this week Womens Richard Rodgers Jersey , I think it’s hard to give the Eagles an A grade for a haul that doesn’t involve selecting at least one defensive lineman with one of their top three picks. It feels like this class is too deep and talented for them to not land some early help there.What say you? Is this really an “A” worthy mock for the Eagles? The Kist & Solak Show #100!"

There are murky details regarding injuries and a ton of young talent that has a ton to prove. It’s even harder to predict how the defensive back rotation will be by the end of the season. That’s why I asked Benjamin Solak to do both on The Kist & Solak Show #100!We took a break from our Eye On the Enemy series to have a friendly conversation and celebrate the centennial episode, which led to the question about the defensive backfield. Malcolm Jenkins and Rodney McLeod were plugged in at safety, here’s how Ben broke down the rest:The skepticism regarding Jones is fair. It’s also unfortunate for Jones because he flashed early in the season. From Weeks 1-3 he had a 74.0 overall grade from PFF (18th) and only allowed 0.41 yards per coverage snap (t-8th) and a 62.2 QB Rating when targeted (16th). Beyond the stats, he popped on film and made some excellent plays, so much to the point where I took the bait on it being his breakout season.That was followed by sloppy play and communication breakdowns against the Tennessee Titans in Week 4 and the hamstring being injured against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. After that, it’s easier to count the weeks he wasn’t officially listed on the injury report. And that’s the problem; while I find it hard to hold his drop off in play against him, he still needs to stay healthy. If he is Jordan Matthews Jersey , I believe he has a breakout season.Dialing back to the Mills-Douglas situation, Ben pushed his chips to the middle of the table and it’s all on Rasul Douglas:It’s a move I’ve been asking for since the early portions of 2018. Mills has gone from volatile to great for a playoff run to stinking out loud and finally to injured all within a years’ time. Anytime I post Mills’ analytics, there’s always one person shouting about “context”. Here’s all the context you need: he was one of the worst cornerbacks in the league last year on film and you won’t find a single analytical stat from a single analytical company that shines any kind of bright light on his season.It’s time to stop fawning over how much Mills has outplayed his draft slot and it’s time for Jim Schwartz to let ‘Sul fly like a peacock.The conversation on defensive backs starts at around 6:30 into The Kist & Solak Show #100.
