The Eagles have picked OLB/DE Ricky Sapp out of Clemson with the 134th pick of the NFL Draft (5th round).  Sapp is 6’4″, 245 pounds and he runs a 4.5 40 showing freakish athletic ability.  The Eagles will likely try to convert him to OLB but they might use him some at end in passing situations.  Sapp played in 14 games (all starts) for Clemson last season and he had 60 tackles, 15 tackles for a loss, 5 sacks, he forced 1 fumble and he recovered 1 fumble.  In his four years at Clemson, Sapp played in 47 games (36 starts) in which he finished up with 147 tackles, 39 tackles for a loss, 17.5 sacks, 5 batted down passes, 3 forced fumbles and 1 fumble recovery.  Sapp was supposed to be picked in the 2nd or 3rd round according to most draft experts so the Eagles got outstanding value with this pick.

UPDATE:  (8/31/2010) – The Eagles have placed Sapp on the Injured Reserve List with a knee injury.
