Stoney Keeley:

"Kony Ealy will be extremely tempting here, but the Eagles are more desperate for a true No. 1 corner than they are pass-rushers. Luckily, Kyle Fuller is still available. Displaying tight man-coverage ability and underestimated speed, some experts have Fuller on par with Justin Gilbert & Darqueze Dennard. He could end up being the best cornerback in this draft, meaning Philadelphia walks away with a steal here. Not to mention, Fuller possesses versatility in special teams, and we all know the value NFL coaches, especially Chip Kelly, place on versatility."
