Like the Raiders, the Philadelphia Eagles need plenty of help on defense, particularly at cornerback.

Kristian Fulton would have been a nice fit for defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. But Virginia cornerback Bryce Hall would also be a solid consolation prize, especially if he’s able to bounce back from his season-ending ankle injury.

After all, it isn’t as if Hall is that far behind in the NFL Draft big board, although his recovery will be something to monitor in coming months.

Philadelphia’s shortages within the secondary need a lot more work than just one cornerback. But Hall is a player worth building around in the defensive backfield, and he has the ability to lock down one side of the field as a boundary corner.
