DT Davis Among Big Moves by Eagles in First Round of NFL Draft

The Philadelphia Eagles, always a popular pick in Pennsylvania sports betting, made a huge first-round pick, traded for one of the league’s top five wide receivers, notched the heir apparent at center and literally stole the pick of the draft in the third round.

Not bad work, in all.

The Eagles sent a bevy of picks (15th, 124^th in the fourth round and 162, 166 in the fifth) to the Houston Texans for the 13^th pick in the NFL Draft to select Jordan Davis, a 22-year-old University of Georgia defensive tackle.

Davis (6-foot-6, 341 pounds) was a force and four-year starter for Georgia, the national champions. Davis totaled 91 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks in his Georgia career, as well as 32 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and two sacks on his way to first-team All-SEC and first-team All-American honors in his senior season.

For his efforts, Davis captured the 2021 Chuck Bednarik Award, given annually to the best defensive player in college football.

Eagles History with DTs in First Round

Davis became the seventh defensive tackle in Eagles history to be selected in the first round, with the last being current teammate and six-time Pro Bowler Fletcher Cox, who was the 12^th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Others included Brodrick Bunkley (2006, 14^th pick); Mike Patterson (2005, 31^st pick); Corey Simon (2000, 6^th pick); Leonard Renfro (1993, 24^th pick); and the late two-time Pro Bowler, Jerome Brown (1987, 9^th pick).

Davis is expected to work into a defensive tackle group that features Cox, Javon Hargrave and 2021 draft pick Milton Williams.
