As the Philadelphia Eagles aim to make another run at the Super Bowl, these sleepers in the 2019 NFL Draft could give them the help they need.

The Philadelphia Eagles are heading into the 2019 NFL season with a roster that looks like it will be able to compete at a high level. They have a few holes to fill, but it seems that if they are able to fill those holes, they will be a team that is in the Super Bowl discussion all season.

Everyone will be discussing what they should do in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, where they have the 25th pick. You will see a bunch of big-name prospects have their names floated around with the idea that they will be a perfect fit with the Eagles.

However, Super Bowl teams are not just built through the first round — they are also built on late-round sleepers that play well past their draft spot. Look no further than Eagles center Jason Kelce. Kelce was taken in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft and is now arguably the best center in football. He also played a huge roll in the Eagles winning their first Super Bowl.

Players like Kelce are not easy to find, but the Eagles need to try and hit on some of their late-round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. Philadelphia does not need the late-round players to be the best at their positions, but they need to hope that they can contribute and play a role in their quest for their second Super Bowl.

Here are three late rounds sleepers that the Eagles could take in the 2019 NFL Draft.
