Welcome to NFL Draft Week! With just a few days to go till spherical 1 begins, potentialities are limitless for every of the 32 NFL groups. For the Eagles, they’ve 4 picks within the high 100, together with their two first rounders. They’ve an opportunity to get some excessive affect gamers to bolster an already robust roster. Right here is how I feel the staff will draft in the event that they keep put at their picks. (Utilizing the FanSpeak Simulator, which implies utilizing their draft boards. No trades.)

Choose 10: Will Anderson Junior, Edge, Alabama

Foolish season is in full swing, so it’s arduous to know if groups are all of the sudden low on Will Anderson, who has been top-of-the-line gamers within the nation for 2 years now. If it’s true, the Eagles stand to realize large. The staff could be very excessive on Anderson and may even make a transfer up for him if he begins to fall. He could be a particular participant on any protection, however an excellent match particularly in Philadelphia.

Choose 30: Darnell Washington, Tight Finish, Georgia

Lots has been made concerning the Eagles’ must fill the WR3 spot, however they might kill two birds with one stone by drafting Darnell Washington right here. Washington would pair with Dallas Goedert to offer Philly top-of-the-line tight finish duos within the league. Washington has the athleticism to be a dominant receiver and is functionally a sixth offensive lineman within the run recreation. As an alternative of three receiver units, the Eagles might deploy two tight ends with Goedert within the slot and Washington set in-line. It offers the Eagles a ton of flexibility. Philly drafted Dallas Goedert whereas Zach Ertz was nonetheless in his prime, so a transfer like that is removed from unprecedented.

Choose 62: Darnell Wright, Offensive Sort out, Tennessee

I really like the Darnell Wright slot in Philadelphia and I feel Coach Stoutland most likely agrees. It could be stunning to see Wright fall to the second spherical, however the Eagles would pounce if he’s obtainable right here.

Choose 94: Devon Achane, Operating Again, Texas A&M

Devon Achane is lightning in a bottle on the working again place. He has pure pace like few different backs on this class and is a gifted receiver out of the backfield. The Eagles may goal a working again a bit greater on this draft, but when they miss out on the sweepstakes for Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs, Achane is superb comfort.

Choose 221: Dontayvion Wicks, Huge Receiver, Virginia

If the Eagles need to get some receiving depth on this class, Dontayvion Wicks has an opportunity to be a late spherical steal. Wicks is 6’2” and almost 210 kilos as a large receiver. He flashes nice fingers and is dynamic after the catch. He’s a bit uncooked, however has a singular ability set that the staff might develop.

Choose 250: Cam Jones, Linebacker, Indiana

Linebacker could possibly be addressed at any level on this draft and it will make sense. Cam Jones is a little bit of an old-fashioned kind participant who can thump downhill and never a lot else, however he could be an excellent late rounder so as to add to the restricted depth on the protection.
