How to watch the NFL draft
The 5-foot-11 cover man from Florida has excellent speed and showed flashes of playmaking ability. Watkins brings versatility to the Eagles defensive backfield -- he lined up as a corner, safety, nickel back and played on special teams.
Jaylen is the half brother of Buffalo Bills first-round pick Sammy Watkins. The Eagles and Bills do not play next season.
The Eagles needed to upgrade the back end of their defense. The versatility of this fourth-round pick should provide depth with good upside heading into 2014.
