Philadelphia Eagles 7-round mock draft: Going all in on Kyle Pitts
By David Esser
The Philadelphia Eagles select…
Even with the Eric Stokes pick earlier in the draft, the Eagles would be wise to consider adding another CB prospect later in the draft. Depth was absolutely an issue in the secondary last season, and with both Mills and NRC possibly departing this offseason, it’s only going to get worse.
Standing in at 5-11, 202lbs Lenoir played both inside and outside for the Oregon Ducks defense in 2020. He has six career interceptions, and his versatility to operate in multiple alignments makes him a valuable addition to Jonathan Gannon’s soon-to-be revamped secondary.
Lenoir was highlighted as a willing and effective tackler during his collegiate days, making him a prime option to see significant snaps in the nickel at the professional level.
Standing at a monstrous 6-7, Joshua Kaindoh is the perfect type of developmental prospect to take a shot on in the later rounds.
Kaindoh suffered a season-ending injury back in 2019, and has yet to really develop as a pass rusher since them. His moves are pretty stiff, and he lacks the natural flexibility to really “bend” around offensive tackles.
However, he’s literally 6-7. With such a massive frame and the ability to likely stack on 15-20 extra pounds working with an NFL team (he’s currently around 250), Kaindoh would be a worthwhile investment on the Eagles depth-depleted defensive line.
