Round 3, Pick 75 (via Colts): Bryce Hall, CB, Virginia
*Trade*
Eagles receive Pick 75
Indianapolis Colts receive Pick 85 and 146
The evaluations on former Virginia cornerback Bryce Hall have been all over the place. Some have him going as high as the end of the first, while some have him going as low as the late third. I think the sweet spot for him is the end of the 2nd or early 3rd.
Hall is coming back off of an injury, so that will cause him to slide on draft day. When he starts to slide, the Eagles should trade up for him and not think twice.
Hall is respected for his football IQ and that is something the Eagles haven’t had at cornerback in a long time. He is a bigger cornerback too, standing at 6’1 and weighing in at 202 pounds. I watched him play receiver at Bishop McDevitt High School in Pennsylvania, so I know he is a baller.
I expect the Eagles will add one impact starter at cornerback in free agency, but they will need to add as many corners as they can this offseason. I think the Eagles could get Hall around this pick and get a steal, as he has the potential to plug-in and be one of their starters right away.
