5. Philadelphia Eagles (via JAX)

Ole Miss. Laremy Tunsil . 5. player. 54. Howie Roseman deserves another pay raise for this.  After sneaking his way into the top 10 with that deft trade with the Dolphins that landed his Philadelphia Eagles the 8th pick and unloaded one of the worst contracts in NFL history, he cements his place as possible Executive of the Year by jumping up to grab the best left tackle to come out of college in years. <p> </p> <p>Laremy Tunsil couldn’t be a better solution to the Eagles’ problems.  He’s a premier pass protector with fluid footwork and athleticism, good power and long arms.  Speed rushers can’t get around him and power rushers can’t get through him.  No question he has all the trappings of a bookend franchise tackle with All-Pro potential.  This is ideal for Philly given Jason Peters is 34-years old and has a dubious injury history that has burned them in the past.</p>.
