Eagles seven-round mock draft: Another Georgia Bulldog could be a long-term answer at offensive tackle
Although Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has addressed many of the immediate needs on the roster with short-term signings, several areas lack true long-term answers going into the draft, in which the team currently has eight picks.Round 1, Pick 22: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia They drafted defensive tackle Jordan Davis two years ago because of the rarity of finding a player with the height, weight, and athleticism to compare to the former Georgia prospect. In Mims, the Eagles could go back to the well of freakishly athletic giants out of Athens, Ga.Pearsall was a Senior Bowl standout whose stock has risen in the past few months because of elite testing to go with his impressive college production.
His draft stock is harder to peg down than some because he didn’t do athletic testing at the scouting combine due to a hamstring injury, but that could be solved if he works out at next week’s Big 12 pro day. Depending on his numbers, he could run his way out of the Eagles’ range or solidify himself as an option for them in the latter part of the second round.
Simpson played as a safety, slot corner, and an outside cornerback during his career at Auburn and has the versatility to play both as a post safety or a nickel corner in the NFL as a result. Pairing him with C.J. Gardner-Johnson in Fangio’s secondary would give the Eagles flexibility and balance with each player capable of filling multiple roles on opposite sides of a three-safety formation, particularly against the pass.
