Eagles Select CB Sidney Jones In Round 2

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- With the 43rd pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select cornerback Sidney Jones from Washington.

Jones, a 6-0, 185-pound corner, tore his Achilles tendon at his pro day.

Jones was originally expected to be a first-round pick before the injury and was regarded as the best cornerback in the draft by many analysts.

The Eagles have the 99th pick in the third-round later on Friday night.
