The last pick of the draft for the Eagles was OT King Dunlap of Auburn.
This kid has a lot of potential but it's getting late in his career and he's been distracted and uncommitted too much of his time at Auburn. He's listed as 6'8.5".
He was a starter for a couple of years but didn't start most of the season in his senior year because he showed up somewhat out of shape and unprepared for his final season.
He began the season with scouts thinking he was a second round pick but ended it on the bench. He's a tremendous athlete for a guy 6'8", but this will be his last chance to get himself together.
Here's what Andy Reid had to say about the youngster.
"We finished with King Dunlap, who is a left tackle out of Auburn, and a huge man. He’s very gifted, his father player in the National Football League, his mother was an Olympian, a track athlete. He’s very gifted, athletically. He’s started down there for a number of years. He was a very high recruit for Auburn. Things didn’t work for him as he went in the draft, but we look forward to seeing if a little change of scenery doesn’t help out here in Philadelphia. He’ll have an opportunity to challenge for one of those backup tackle spots.”
