Posted February 13, 20241 yr ...the Eagles select: First round draft order is set. Time's yours. And it's never too early to start talking about next season.
February 13, 20241 yr I know the popular opinion is to take a RT to groom as Lane’s successor. But that only makes sense if 2024 will be his final season, otherwise you likely have a guy riding the bench for 2 years or more. So I’m going DE/edge rusher. We have BG who is more of a rotational piece now and then Sweat and Reddick who are both entering contract years (the latter given the green light to search for a trade opportunity).

I think I saw most on here wanting to go defense for the 1st since Lane wants to play a few more years

Steen better be able to play RT or he's a wasted pick. Maybe he can be getter at OG, but he's not a guard. If he can't play RT he has no place to play. He could be a good LT and we should listen to offers from other teams
February 13, 20241 yr 23 minutes ago, weko said: The Eagles have traded their pick for picks in the 2nd 3rd & 4th rounds This. I'm trading this pick, for sure. UNLESS, Howie can move UP and grab a special player.
February 13, 20241 yr Howie has moved up in the last 3 drafts. We'll he moved back and then up to take Smith. Eagles have a extra 2nd pick thanks to the saints. Let's see if we can get another 2nd if Reddick is traded. I would bet he moves up again
February 13, 20241 yr It's a deep oline class. If I'm Howie and Reddick is traded, trading up for a DE makes sense. It's not a great or deep class outside the ones that will be drafted in the 1st rd
February 13, 20241 yr DE Latu. He'll split snaps with BG until about halfway through the year he'll get more snaps. The odds are they draft a DE or OT based on draft history. They haven't drafted back 7 in the first for forever. They draft linemen and WR in the 1st.They won't draft a DT a 3rd year in a row, won't take a WR in the 1st given who they have. I don't see them using a 1st on an OG but they may go that route if they like a guy to replace Jurgens (if he moves over to replace Kelce).

We have BG who is more of a rotational piece now and then Sweat and Reddick who are both entering contract years (the latter given the green light to search for a trade opportunity). Agreed, EDGE is an issue, as is CB. Assuming the Eagles stay put, I think they'll have better options in the defensive backfield at 22.

Right, CB is the smart move, I'm thinking the best available at 22 will be Quinyon Mithcell of the Rockets. And for crying out loud, no trading up unless we give up a player like AJ, if we give up draft picks to move up I'm totally done with the Eagles.

February 14, 20241 yr …the Indianapolis Colts select Kingsley Suamataia, BYU. If we do trade Haason, it’ll probably be for multiple picks and we’re gonna have a ton of trade capital. Every other year Howie moves up and down the first round. Since he regained power: Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, Carson Wentz, Derek Barnett, Andre Dillard… all not drafted in our pre-designated draft position. Then throw in what we did for AJ Brown and things are always entertaining with the Rose Man in the draft room.
