The Philadelphia Eagles double-dipped at the cornerback position by selecting Rasul Douglas in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Here are some reactions and nuggets of information on the pick.
Rasul Douglas in 2016:

Allowed 44% completion percentage, Four Touchdowns, Eight Interceptions and 45 QB Rating.
Eagles CB Rasul Douglas from West Virginia has the MOST Interceptions out of ANY CB in the 2017 #NFLDraft class (8 INTs)

CB Rasul Douglas is someone I thought Jim Schwartz would love. Big DB with great ball skills. Very aggressive.

I had questions about his value because of his speed. If you want a guy who will play the ball, he's your type of CB.

Eagles have added a pair of big, talented CBs. Smart way to try to fix the secondary. Don't rely on 1 guy to fix everything. Get depth.

Don't sleep on Rasul Douglas

This is the first time since 2002 the #Eagles have taken two corners in the first three rounds.

Interesting to me that the Eagles are back on the enormous, but slow, CBs.
— Noah Becker (@Noah_Becker) April 29, 2017
This is the type of organizational commitment to CBs that the Eagles needed. Haven't invested in many 1st 3-rd CBs in past decade.

Hazardous to predict before we see rookies on the field, but I think #Eagles draftee w/the best chance to start right away is Rasul Douglas.

First thing I take away with Sidney Jones and Rasul Douglas... Length, speed and attitude. Both are very aggressive, physical CBs... #Eagles

Great watch here w/ #Eagles DB coach Cory Undlin and @fduffy3 breaking down the newest additions in the secondary... https://t.co/guPxfqQYhP

Rasul Douglas - 46th overall player. The Eagles got a freaking steal.

In JUCO 3 years ago Eagles CB Rasul Douglas struggled to eat & would often order off @McDonalds $1 menu; eat half & save the rest of later pic.twitter.com/x8X14tgMGl

Rasul Douglas can ball and he is a big dude. Thought he'd go earlier in third.

Wow Joe Douglas drafting his son in the third round, Rasul Douglas.
