5 possible surprise picks for the Eagles in the 1st-round of NFL Draft

5. Xavier McKinney — Safety — Alabama

The Crimson Tide star has the skills and versatility to be the first safety off the board, as he combines athleticism, physical tools and the ability to operate in space or from the slot.

Howie Roseman missed on getting Minkah Fitzpatrick, and by adding McKinney to the roster, he could make the Eagles secondary, Avonte Maddox and Jim Schartz that much better.
