25. Philadelphia Eagles – Grant Delpit, LSU, S

The safety class for the 2019 NFL Draft is lacking impact talent that will get off the board in the top 25 picks. But if Grant Delpit was in the draft, he would easily be the first safety off the board and likely hear his name called within the first 10 picks.

At 6-3, 205 pounds, Delpit has exceptional size for the position and he’s got the production to match. Delpit had 74 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, five sacks and five interceptions en route to being named a consensus All-American. He also had a forced fumble and fumble recovery as he was all over the field last year for the LSU Tigers.

LSU has developed defensive backs as well as any college this century and Delpit has a chance to leave Baton Rouge as their best safety. With Malcolm Jenkins’ future uncertain in Philadelphia, Delpit would be a welcome addition for Doug Pederson’s team.
