Some last-minute Eagles draft thoughts

Oh, hey, the 202NFL Draft is tonight!Here are some Philadelphia Eagles thoughts on my Eagles trading up for an offensive tackle feels like a strong 's been my belief this entire draft season and it's only been strengthened as we see a number of final mock drafts linking the Birds to a move up for either Monroe Freeling or Kadyn Proctor.I don't think Howie Roseman wants to risk a run on offensive linemen happening before the Eagles are currently projected to pick at No.23.I believe this is an at your vegetables kind of draft where we see Roseman focus on building through the necessarily the most exciting thing in the moment but ultimately a prudent noted in my one and only Eagles sevenround mock draft, I am intrigued by Max book on him is that he needs time to develop but 1 that shouldn't be a major concern for the Eagles and 2 he looked more gameready in his tape than I originally expected based on what was said about him.I think he could be developed into a really good tackle.I don't think the Eagles are going to give up on developing offensive tackles just because Jeff Stoutland departed the 's quite possible, if not likely, that new offensive line Chris Kuper won't be as good as Stout's absence isn't a good reason to not try.I also think the Eagles' prioritizing a new scheme when it comes to their draft board has been overstated.I've specifically seen it suggested that Proctor won't be an ideal fit for Sean Mannion's if that's true https://www.philsapparel.com, which is hard to say when we're projecting what the offense of a firsttime coordinator with two years of any kind of coaching experience will definitely look like https://www.philsapparel.com/collections/michael-mercado-jersey, the coaching staff is hardly set in is realistically expecting the draft pick to be more permanent.A lot of people would be excited about the Eagles landing Kenyon Sadiq.I'm a bit skeptical after reading this article on the position on Day 2 andor Day 3 feels like a much better use of the very least, the Eagles MUST sign at least one undrafted rookie free agent tight end unlike last year, when they didn't add a tight end at have no longterm options at that needs to change.I'd be shocked if the Eagles draft a safety in the first round.I really can't see it happening unless Caleb Downs somehow falls way further than Eagles certainly need help at Howie Roseman isn't drafting with the sole intent of improving the 202roster 's got a longterm focus in whereas the Eagles shocked us all by taking Jihaad Campbell last year, they have already shown they started to value that position more by paying Zack did the opposite at safety this offseason by letting Reed Blankenship leave in free agency on what was a pretty affordable contract if they absolutely wanted to keep to see ifwhen the Eagles add at wide receiver.A high pick would certainly further cement A.'s eventual exit, which is already like the Eagles are going to add at least one veteran player via trade during draft 's already buzz that a Jonathan Greenard deal is maybe it's not just him?Why is it so unthinkable that the Eagles could draft a quarterback? Doing so wouldn't even necessarily be an indictment of Jalen Hurts, which some make it out to be in response to the mere suggestion of the is the selfproclaimed QB factory! Almost no one thought the Eagles would draft Hurts when they could you say they definitely won't take one this year? Tanner McKee will be a free agent after this season and Andy Dalton could be moved up to QB2 if he's traded, allowing a developmental role for rookie it just me or is there a relative lack of juice for the Eagles' draft this year? Perhaps a combination of them being connected to nonsexy positions like an offensive tackle who might not even play in 2026, the draft class as a whole being considered bad, people generally more concerned about the coaching staff than the roster, and interest in other Philly sports teams excitement about the Flyers and to a much lesser extent the Sixers, sheer anger at the Phillies.I'm excited for the draft and the coverage we'll have here at BGN but I'm just not seeing the same fervor I've witnessed in previous years.<br/><br/>https://www.philsapparel.com/collections/zack-wheeler-jersey
