Daily News | Eagles NFL scouting combine primer: A player at each position to watch during athletic testing
The combination of athletic testing, medical checks, and in-person interviews with prospects and organization decision-makers will cause plenty of shuffling in draft projections by the end of the week.QB: Matt Corral, Ole Miss
If Corral flashes the accuracy and plus athleticism he showed in college, it will go a long way in boosting his draft stock. The off-field interviews with teams will also have great significance, which is why he’s my quarterback to watch.Pierce helped himself at the Senior Bowl and he’d be a seamless fit in the Eagles running back room for the next few years.
But London’s 40-yard-dash time will be one of the most important measurements in the combine overall. If he runs slow, there will be concerns about his ability to separate against better competition. If he runs fast, he’ll quiet the doubters who point at the Pac-12 as the reason why he finished last year with 88 catches, 1,084 yards, and seven touchdowns.This year’s draft has a solid grouping of mid-round tight end prospects, but there isn’t a consensus TE1 going into Indy.
If defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon feels like he’s missing a gap-plugging nose, Davis is an uber-talented one, but Javon Hargrave excelled as a one-technique last year and has much more versatility than someone like Davis, who is exclusively a nose tackle.Along with London, Walker has a lot riding on his combine results. He has played multiple positions and has weighed anywhere between 270 pounds and 300-plus to accommodate those switches across the defensive front.
