The 2020 NFL draft is just two weeks away and although he Philadelphia Eagles landed Darius Slay, the Birds will likely address the cornerback position with one of their remaining eight picks.
The Eagles don’t have a pick in every round but in case of some wheeling and dealing, we decided to project one cornerback from every round that the Eagles could target.

Round 1: Trevon Diggs, Alabama
The younger brother of Bills star Stefon Diggs, the former Crimson Tide star was a projected top-15 pick and could slip to the late first-round or early second. Diggs finished his junior season with 37 tackles, three interceptions, eight passes defended, two fumble recoveries and two defensive touchdowns.
He’s not afraid of the bright lights or the big moment and could be just what the doctor ordered if the Eagles go cornerback in Round 1.
