Peter King In Final Mock Draft: 'Want To Drive WIP Radio Crazy'

By Andrew Porter

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- "With the 20th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select Damarious Randall from Arizona State University."

How would you react if NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that on Thursday night?

"WHO?!!!!! KELLY, YOU'RE NUTS!!!!!" SI.com's Peter King wrote, predicting how fans would react to his projected Eagles' first-round pick. "Very close to two others here: Jaelen Strong or nimble Oregon tackle Jake Fisher," King continued in his final mock draft, justifying his selection of Randall to Philly. "I just want to drive WIP radio crazy."

Well, thanks a lot Peter.

In all seriousness, Randall is a 5'11", 196-pound free-safety that hasn't been talked about much in Philadelphia.

Some analysts rank Randall as the best safety in this year's class. An excellent athlete with 4.46 speed and tremendous toughness, Randall has played some receiver in junior college. He is a superb cover corner with above average hands.

"Chip Kelly knows he'll be able to score enough points, and he knows he can get useable receivers down the line," King wrote. "He wants a player with a defensive presence who has a chance to make plays somewhere on D, and the Eagles think Randall can do that."
