Thanks to trading away Sam Bradford, the Philadelphia Eagles were able to pick up a first-round draft pick. Although the Eagles could wind up drafting much earlier than this, they would be wise to take a defensive player this late in the first round.

Florida’s Jarrad Davis could be a nice fit for the Eagles. He’s an athletic and instinctive linebacker who could play either in the middle or as an outside backer in Philadelphia’s 4-3 scheme.

Not only can Davis make plays at the line of scrimmage, but he’s also pretty solid in pass coverage. Few linebackers can say that coming into this year’s draft, so Davis could very well wind up in the first round as long as he continues to produce for the Gators.
