PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Who needs to draft prospects from the Power Five to build a Super Bowl contender?
The Philadelphia Eagles might soon find out after taking an unconventional approach in the NFL draft. General manager Howie Roseman used a first-round pick on Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and a third-round selection on Houston Christian linebacker Jalyx Hunt.
Surely those two were on every Eagles fan’s mock draft board.
Only the most diehard college football fans in Philadelphia — of which there are few — and the most dogged Eagles scouts — of which there are many — had much of a report on Mitchell or Hunt. While the picks seemed outside the box, Roseman said it’s not out of the ordinary to find players of that caliber out of more than 400 scouting reports that he receives.
It may have been a surprise to some — it’s just not necessarily the new norm.
