    "Most scouting reports on Jaiquawn Jarrett called the Temple safety a fourth-round pick at best.

    The Eagles on Friday chose him 54th overall in the NFL Draft, taking him with their second-round pick.

    Did they reach?

    Jarrett doesn't think so.

    "They showed a lot of interest," he said via conference call from his home in Brooklyn, N.Y.

    "They came to work me out several times with the whole defensive staff and the special-teams coordinators, so they've seen something in me that other teams didn't see, and I really appreciate that staff for that."

    The Eagles addressed their secondary twice, trading five spots down in the third round with Baltimore to pick up cornerback Curtis Marsh from Utah State, a converted running back, and an extra sixth-round pick.

    Jarrett expects to show Eagles fans what Owls fans have seen for the past four years -- toughness in the defensive backfield and smarts."
