Smart! Kelce has a year or two left at best.  Groom the future 

[opa-opa]

Why?.....were all the good LB/CB/SSs off the board?

[judunno]

Nooiiice

[Infam]

Didn't see that one coming..

[homerpat]

Bigger needs with legit guys available. Hopefully he’s Kelces replacement but I don’t think it was as much of a priority

[Philthy Jawn]

Former tight end.   Jason Kelce helped the Eagles evaluate him, and campaigned for the pick.  That's really interesting to consider.

[Bwestbrook36]

Guess we ain't playing defense this year

[matchew88]

So who plays CB2?

Kelce is on his last hurrah. Its not a sexy pick. It's a necessary pick.

[EazyEaglez]

Surprised to see they went offensive again. I get it cause Kielce will be gone soon, but still so many holes to fill on the roster. Not for nothing but basically their first two picks will be backups and rotational guys at least at the start of their careers. 

[Swimm]

Its a nice pick..Its just not what the Eagles needed. Why does this team making drafts so complicated.

Kelce is done after this year. Hopefully he can play a little guard this year

[BornGreen]

Uhhh ok!  Dude didn’t even get highlight or bio segment after his pick! Lol

Jordan Davis

[manz2821]

Maybe we getting the honey badger? Don't get this pick.

[LacesOut]

Like it.

Still would have liked a Secondary/LB pick though.

I guess I have to come out of retirement and play Safety.

Exactly.  If Kelce retires at the end of the season and there's no plan of transition, then the Eagles will be screwed.  Badly.

We didn’t have one at this time last year, either, and we ended up doing fine there.

I am convinced it’s a lock they sign him.

Seems like they could’ve taken his replacement a little bit later though especially when you consider they have so many starter needs. Do they really feel that good about McPherson on the outside?

I think they could have addressed later. center is a position where you can easily hit mid rounds. This guy needs to be a beast to validate the pick. 

 

and honestly he could be. Our defense is just so sparse
