PHILADELPHIA -- As far as defensive prospects in this year's draft, Florida cornerback Vernon Hargreaves is among the ten best that will be available when the NFL Draft gets underway next Thursday in Chicago.
Hargreaves could be in the Eagles' sights with the No. 8 overall pick, if they do not trade up with the Cleveland Browns to the No. 2 selection. Likewise, if Hargreaves is on the board when the Giants go on the clock at No. 10, he would be difficult to pass up.
Eagles cornerback Jaylen Watkins spent one season with Hargreaves in Gainesville when the 20-year-old with 10 interceptions during his collegiate career walked onto campus and into a starting job.
