Other possibilities
It’s quite possible that the Eagles do trade up for a player not mentioned previously. If an offensive tackle Jonah Williams or Andre Dillard slip towards the late teens, the Eagles could pull the trigger on a deal to move up. Jason Peters is probably in his last year in the NFL and, despite the high praise for Jordan Mailata, they may look to get a replacement for him in this draft.
It’s also quite possible they stay at 25. If they do stay at 25 and the aforementioned players are unavailable, I fully expect them to draft safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson.
Never rule out the trade down, which the Eagles did last year. If the possibility is there for Howie to trade their 25th pick to move down and grab a third-round pick, I’m sure he’ll take that deal.
What are your thoughts, Eagles fans? Anyone, in particular, you’d like to see the team trade up for?
