Eagles Draft: Roseman's Strategy for Depth

On April 5th, the NFL draft is right around the corner, kicking off Thursday April 23rd,

and the Philadelphia Eagles are sitting pretty at.

Pick number 23 in Round 1.

They've got 9 picks total across 3 days, 3 on Friday April 24th, and 5 more Saturday

April 25th.

Way more than the standard 7, thanks to how he rosemans wheeling and dealing.

Most of those extra selections came from smart trades and compensatory picks, like the

3rd Rounder from the Hayson Reddick deal with the Jets.

Another calm from Milton Williams heading to New England, and picks from swaps involving

Sydney Brown, Josh Sweat, and even Mecky Beckton.

Only their first two in rounds.

One and two are straight up their own.

Fans are buzzing about the Eagles' biggest needs.

Edge rushers to replace Jalen Phillips, who bolted for Carolina on a huge 120 million.

Dollar deal.

Wide receivers for depth behind new free agent signings like Hollywood Brown, tight ends

as long-term builders since the current crew.

Feels like stopgaps, and safeties to bolster the secondary beyond Andrew McCuba and Marcus

Epps.

Day 2 could bring edge guys like Armas and Thomas, speedy wide-outs such as Brennan Thompson,

tight ends including Eli Stowers or Max Klein, and defensive backs like AJ Halsey.

Recent drafts have been gold pro-bullars, like Jalen Carter and Quinnian Mitchell, extensions

for Devonta Smith and Jordan Davis, proving rosemans.

Some pick strategy pays off big.

With the board falling fast, expect rosemans to eye best player available at 23, maybe

trade down for more ammo, and keep stacking that depth.
