Fletcher Cox now has a new running mate alongside him on the defensive interior. This tremendous trio will be tough to block.
From 2016-2019, Eagles DTs account for 5 of the 22 DTs with most sacks in a season:
– Fletcher Cox, 2018, 10.5 sacks (4th most)
– Malik Jackson, 2016 and 2017, 8 and 6.5 sacks (14th, 19th most)
– Javon Hargrave, 2018, 6.5 sacks (22nd most)

Jalen Raegor is known for almost never dropping passes and had one of the best combine performances of the class.

Jalen Reagor is one of the if not the most explosive athletes in the draft. He has 99th percentile broad jump and 98th percentile vertical jump. His production was low but that was more due to a poor offense around him.

Despite Carson Wentz’ presence on the roster, the Eagles made the biggest statement of the draft. The thing about former Heisman candidate Jalen Hurts is he can win games with his arm and his legs.
Jalen Hurts has graded out really well at QB:
In 2019 he earned a 91.6 grade
In 2018 he earned a 90.1 grade— PFF PHI Eagles (@PFF_Eagles) April 25, 2020
Not only is Jalen Hurts an excellent runner he is also great at hitting the deep ball. His 95.4 deep ball grade was 7th in all of college ball.
