Baldinger's Eagles Draft Picks: Lomu, Moore, Sadiq

0:00It's April 22nd. This is NFL News today, AI-powered stories shaping the season. NFL Networks Brian Baldinger, with his sharp eye for draft picks and line play, is eyeing the Philadelphia Eagles moves in Thursday's NFL draft. With an aging offensive line still healing up, he predicts though grab Utah's 19-year-old tackle Caleb Lomu at the 23rd overall pick. This 6-foot-6, 313-pound kid is raw, but promising and past protection compared to Titan's tackle Dan Moore Jr. Baldinger also likes Ed rusher Derek Moore from Michigan at the 54th pick in Round 2. These guys won't start right away, but their long-term builds, especially Lomu as a potential heir to Lane Johnson heading into his 14th year. Meanwhile, if the Eagles move on from AJ, Brown after June 1st, to clear cap space, Baldinger sees General Manager Howie Roseman making a splash for Oregon, Titan Canyon Sedique around pick, 15-20.

1:01That fits the new Titan heavy scheme from offensive coordinator Clint Cubiac, giving Jalen Hertz a reliable middle-field target with no Titans. Locked in for 20-27. On defense and depth, Baldinger digs Georgia Tech Guard Keelan Rutledge in Round 3 as a quick starter. Penn states Drew Aller with his top 10. Arm as a quarterback project, and Missouri linebacker Josiah Trotter for his disruptive run, fits in Round 2 or 3. Baldinger's gut says Howie sticks to the trenches to protect his franchise guy, setting up the Eagles for years ahead, no matter how the board falls.
