After a second day of the Draft that saw the Philadelphia Eagles leave fans in a state of uncertainty, the team finally addressed their biggest need on the roster. Texas Tech CB Zech McPhearson was drafted with the team’s lone fourth-round pick.
Likely a nickel corner, McPhearson stands at 5’11, 195 lbs, he plays a lot larger than his size and is coming off of a big-time season with the Red Raiders. The thing that Eagles fans should be most excited about here is that he has proven to be very successful in zone coverage, which bodes very well for Jonathan Gannon’s defense.
