Update: Who the Eagles could have had with their sixth round pick?

Eagles were looking for help at wide receiver, cornerback and running back, among other spots.

UPDATE: Day 3 of the NFL draft began at noon Saturday. The Eagles used the first of two fourth-round picks  (No. 118 overall) on North Carolina wide receiver Mack Hollins and traded up in the fourth round to draft running back Donnel Pumphrey. The Eagles chose West Virginia wide receiver Shelton Gibson (No. 166) and Nebraska linebacker/safety Nate Gerry (No. 184) in the fifth round. The Eagles used a sixth-round pick (No. 214 overall) to take University of Washington defensive lineman Elijah Qualls. At that point, the Eagles no more picks. (The Eagles added a defensive end and two cornerbacks on the first two days of the draft.) Here are some players who were still available when the Eagles chose Qualls:

RUNNING BACKS

Corey Clement, Wisconsin

The Glassboro native emerged as the top option for the Badgers last season after an up-and-down college career. The Eagles know him well.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Noah Brown, Ohio State

Brown has potential at wide receiver and good blocking ability on the perimeter, but he doesn't have elite production in college.

LINEBACKER

Lee was first-team all-Big 12 last season and has range at the position.

DEFENSIVE BACK

Jalen Myrick, Minnesota

Myrick ran a 4.28-second 40-yard dash at the combine and can help in the return game.
