The Eagles have an urgent need at the cornerback position opposite Darius Slay and prior to Derek Stingley’s pro day at LSU, Philadelphia hosted former Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth on a top-30 visit.

The 6-foot, 190-pound cornerback in the middle of the first-round and the former ACC star would be a perfect fit for the Eagles, as he’s most effective in zone coverage underneath than tight man.

A ball-hawking cornerback with play-making instincts, Booth Jr. has elite burst when closing on the ball and he’s physical against the run as well.

So that's Booth and Stingley and I'm sure they've taken a good look at Gardner. That suggests to me they are very much looking at CB.

Two of the top CB's (Stingley & Booth) have injury and surgery issues. I still like both but it makes you wonder if they'll hold up in the NFL.

They had Gardner in on a pre-draft visit as well.

It was a minor sports hernia. Nothing to fret about.

Watched some tape on him and he looks like a baller.  Think we go DE and CB in round one.

Sure hope so (assuming no reaches).  

Gardner and Stingley will be gone. Booth, Elam, or McDuffie will be an Eagle on day 1
