Chip Kelly loves his Oregon players. Another one will be joining the Eagles.
With the 141st overall pick in the Draft, the Eagles selected defensive lineman Taylor Hart from Oregon.
Hart is 6'6" and 292 pounds and another Kelly recruit to Oregon. In his senior season, Hart had 75 tackles, including 43 solo tackles. He also had 3.5 sacks in his senior season.
In his four-year career at Oregon, Hart had 173 tackles and 16 sacks. His junior season, the last under Kelly, was arguably his best. He finished the year with eight sacks and 11 tackles for loss.
In his senior season, he added five passes defended and three forced fumbles.
The Eagles will be back on the clock in the fifth round at pick 162 and have one more remaining pick in the seventh round at 224.
