JaCorey Shepherd could be a late round steal for the Eagles

The Kansas corner brings upside and competition to the Eagles secondary.

After spending both of their day two picks on defensive players, I was half expecting an offensive player to kick off the last day of the draft. To my surprise, they started the day off by trading their fourth round pick to the Lions for a future third, a very savvy move.

With their first pick in the sixth round, the Eagles surprised me again when they took another defensive player, Kansas cornerback, JaCorey Shepherd. Shepherd was a player I had heard some things about during the draft process but never personally dove into.
