NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah has been in actual war rooms and has some insight into what the Eagles and 31 other teams plan to do next Thursday night.
On Thursday, Jeremiah held a conference call with the media to field questions and provide insight on next week’s NFL draft.
Jeremiah weighed in on several topics in the wide-ranging call, with one week until the first round kicking off in Kansas City. Here are some of the highlights and takeaways from the questions and answers.
Jeremiah on Eagles on Jeff Stoutland types of guys
Jeremiah was asked about potential Stoutland types of guys.
“Yeah, there’s some good options. There’s some intriguing players. To me, I could go in a couple of different areas for Stout. I would say Matthew Bergeron from Syracuse is one. He is big. He is 6’5″, 318 pounds. He’s played left tackle. You’ve seen what they’ve been able to do there, and they’ve been able to take tackles and make them guards. He is going to be ahead the game in terms of the pass protection. He can move. I think he is a really, really good player. That would be one I would keep an eye on as somebody in the second round that could kick in.”
Jeremiah on potential offensive guard additions.
Steve Avila will be gone from TCU, but he would be one that would make some sense there.
Then, I would say the last one, give you one more bonus, maybe a guy
like Sidy Sow from Eastern Michigan. Not in the second round, but maybe a little later. He strikes me as a Stoutland-type guy. 6’5″, 320 pounds. He has some length. He can move. He has some torque. He has some power. Those seem to be the kind of traits that Stout has appreciated over the years.
Jeremiah on Bijan Robinson to Philly
Should Bijan Robinson break the mold of not drafting a RB in the top of the draft? 😯
"I worked in [the Eagles] organization for two years … and if there's such thing as less than a zero percent chance that it happens, that is the case there in Philadelphia." —@MoveTheSticks pic.twitter.com/SZv84jmy9i
