Posted April 4, 20223 yr Eagles trade 1st round picks 16 and 19 and a 6th round pick (#194) to Saints for 5 draft picks: 2022: 1st round #18 3rd round #101 7th round #237 2023: 1st round pick 2024: 2nd round pick https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/eagles-draft-trade-saints-blockbuster-spadaro?fbclid=IwAR1IPuJk658ieJUBX3SktcB4s-e_lHt6PMqQZP9lQiSR54QlIpyGGSqRDe4 And on this day of April 4, 2022, Howie Roseman strikes with another NFL Draft trade bombshell: The Eagles have added more draft capital for this season and for the future. Philadelphia has agreed to trade the 16th and 19th overall picks, along with a sixth-round pick (No. 194 overall) in the 2022 NFL Draft to New Orleans in exchange for five draft picks. From the Saints, the Eagles will receive: • The 18th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft • A third-round draft pick from New Orleans, the 101st overall selection in 2022 • A seventh-round pick from the Saints, the 237th overall selection in 2022 • A first-round pick from New Orleans in the 2023 NFL Draft • A second-round pick from New Orleans in the 2024 NFL Draft Roseman struck early with the NFL Draft still three-plus weeks away and the deal gives the Eagles plenty of flexibility for 2022 and in the years to come. The key here is flexibility, as the Eagles kept the first of their three first-round draft picks for 2022 (they still have two first-rounders, Nos. 15 and 18) and added a third-round pick (No. 101 overall) and a seventh-rounder (No. 237 overall) this season, plus they have a No. 1 pick from New Orleans in 2023 and a second-rounder from the Saints in 2024. What Roseman does with those picks – keeps them, moves them this year, moves them in the future – is, of course, to be determined. But he has more ammunition at his disposal right now. The immediate upshot of the deal is this: Philadelphia has picks 15 and 18 in the first round in a few weeks, their own second-round selection (No. 51 overall), and two third-round picks (Nos. 83 and 101) among the 10 selections on their current board. That's a lot to work with and now the Eagles have two first-round picks next season along with the extra second-round pick in 2024. Rather than wait until NFL Draft weekend to start the trading process, Roseman made it happen now and is still at work. He has increased the team's long-term NFL Draft capital, given the team more flexibility with which to maneuver, and still, with two first-round draft picks in the middle of the opening night, has all kinds of options in the 2022 NFL Draft. As Roseman did last year when the Eagles traded with Miami to swap first-round picks, the trading season has started early for Philadelphia. This is just the beginning of what's going to be an exciting NFL Draft weekend as the team builds on its draft capital and improves the roster for 2022 and beyond.

April 4, 20223 yr Checks saints roster Quote Quarterbacks 16 Ian Book 6 Blake Bortles -- Andy Dalton 2 Jameis Winston Ok, I'm good with it

April 4, 20223 yr Love it. Getting an extra 3rd and an extra 2nd in 2024...and I think there're enough chances to pick better next year than the 16th we gave up.
April 4, 20223 yr This trade was really smart IMO. Hurts has a year where he comes in knowing he is the guy. Should be a somewhat normal camp. I'm not a believer in him, but I'm not rooting against him either. This QB class is weak. Saint could potentially be really bad. If Hurts can't show he is they guy, we could have a top 5 pick and maybe grab a good QB. If what I would perceive to be a miracle happens, and Hurts completely balls out, even better.

I'm pretty sure Howie is thinking that as well. I think the Saints are after Malik Willis with this move. They probably won't make the playoffs this year. I hope Hurts balls out. QB class next year should be better.
April 4, 20223 yr I know we shouldn't root for injuries, but Winston going down would make that a heck of a pick next year.
April 4, 20223 yr Smart move overall. Howie is also somewhat playing to his strength of doing noticeably better in later rounds.

Also, they can still trade again (be it a "big or small" trade) and have more picks as ammo.

April 4, 20223 yr So we basically traded 16 for 18 and a 7th And then 19 for a 3rd this year, 1st next year and 2nd in 2024 I think I would prefer we kept 19....
April 4, 20223 yr Love this! We have plenty of picks to use this year and also sets us up nicely in 2023 and 2024. Would have been a bit tough staying under the cap paying three 1st rd picks.
