The Eagles haven't drafted a cornerback in the first round since 2002 but Daniel Jeremiah thinks that could end in this draft.
“I just think Witherspoon is a stud,” Jeremiah said on a national conference call Friday afternoon. “And I think having been in that building and having seen Asante Samuel there, I think you could make an easy comparison there with just the play-making ability, taking the ball away. We’ll see what Bradberry ends up doing in the offseason. I imagine he probably ends up getting paid somewhere. So if they don’t re-sign him, there’s going to be a need there as well.
Jeremiah’s point about Bradberry is a valid one. The Eagles have a ton of really important pending free agents and it seems pretty unlikely they’ll be able to re-sign Bradberry. So the Eagles could be looking for a cheap starter to pair with aging star Darius Slay.“I think if you’re where the Eagles are right now you’re thought process going into a draft, it’s not the division anymore, it’s not even the conference,” Jeremiah said.
