Eagles cancel pre-draft visit with cornerback Dee Milliner

The Eagles were scheduled to bring Dee Milliner in for a pre-draft visit this week, but the team canceled the meeting, the former Alabama cornerback told The Inquirer on Thursday.

Milliner is considered the top cornerback prospect in this year's NFL draft. The Eagles have a glaring need at the position, but may be narrowing their list to linemen with the draft two weeks away.

They brought in most of the top-rated players over the last two weeks, including tackles Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher, outside linebacker Dion Jordan, defensive tackles Sharrif Floyd and Star Lotulelei, defensive end Ziggy Ansah and quarterback Geno Smith.

The Eagles, who have the No. 4 overall pick, also worked out tackle Lane Johnson on Friday.

Milliner has visited a number of the teams that own one of the first 12 picks, including the Jaguars (No. 2), Lions (No. 5), N.Y. Jets (No. 9), Titans (No. 10) and Dolphins (No. 12). He is still scheduled to meet with the Chiefs (No. 1).

The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Milliner said that he met with Eagles coach Chip Kelly and defensive coordinator Bill Davis at the NFL combine in February. Even though he was scheduled to undergo surgery on a torn labrum, Milliner ran a blistering 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds in Indianapolis.
