The Philadelphia Eagles bypassed several needs in the NFL draft to address the glaring need for the speed. Howie Roseman made that decision knowing he’d be able to double-back and snag a few quality undrafted free agents.
The signed several big-named collegiate stars who slipped in the draft and one former All-American from Baylor was named the Birds best undrafted free agent by CBS Sports.
Eagles:
Baylor DB Grayland Arnold
Arnold is one of my favorite undrafted free agents. He may play cornerback, he may play safety. It does not matter. He has an innate ability to be in the right place at the right time and shows good athleticism. His career may begin on special teams but Arnold has lasting power.
Standing 5-foot-9 and 186 pounds, Arnold was named second-team All American and All-Big 12 during his final season in Baylor when he led the team with six picks.
A talented slot-cornerback, Arnold will find a place on the Eagles roster and will likely make a veteran expendable.
