How JaCorey Shepherd Can Start for the Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles rookie draft class will bring much-needed reinforcements to an Eagles team that has been depleted in the secondary for years.  Sixth-round selection JaCorey Shepherd may have been the steal of the draft.  Here is how JaCorey Shepherd can start for the Eagles year one.

The safety position was not addressed in the draft.  Going into the offseason, safety was perhaps the biggest hole on the roster.  However, there was a severe lack of talent at the position in this year’s draft, so it went unaddressed.

The Eagles did draft former Utah CB/S Eric Rowe in the second round.
