Posted March 30Mar 30 Restructure/extended/new contract; Reed Blankenship, Cam Jurgens, Dallas Goedert Cuts; James Bradberry, Darius Slay FA; Ja’Whaun Bentley, LB, NE Patriots; Dee Alford, CB, Atlanta Falcons. Trade alert! Eagles trade #32 to the New Orleans Saints for #40, #93 and #184. Saints select QB Jalen Milroe Draft: 1 Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame; Trade alert! Eagles trade #63, #134 and a 2026 6th to the LA Chargers for #55 2 Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo; 3 Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary; 3 Oluwafemi Oladejo, Edge, UCLA; 5 Teddye Buchacon, LB, Cal; 5 Jaydon Blue, RB, Texas; 5 Orondo Gadsden II, TE, Syracuse; 6 Clay Webb, OG, Jacksonville State;
March 31Mar 31 I like the mock offseason here, especially getting a veteran LB in wake of Nakobe Dean recovering from injury and Oren Burks leaving in FA. Despite bringing back Zach Baun, linebacker is still a sneaky need, and I'm glad you addressed it here in FA. The trade downs are solid in terms of value and realistic. I can't see Howie Roseman taking a safety in Round 1 but with your mock trade, I can see him pulling the trigger in Round 2. Darius Alexander is someone who could even sneak into the tail end of Rnd 1 so I think the mock trade up is appropriate here.

Agreed that Alexander could sneak into the first round but maybe his age turns some teams off. He’s a 25 year old rookie. Compare that to the likes of Carter, Davis, Nolen, Dean, Mitchell, DeJean, Ringo etc and he’d be the oldest of the bunch entering his first year. He’d be 29 when his rookie contract expires…
