by Jimmy Kempski

Each year, we lay out the Philadelphia Eagles' top 10 options with their first round pick, and we have found that while the player they have picked has occasionally been surprising, their base strategies have been somewhat predictable.

Eagles 2023 draft: Will Howie Roseman trade up, trade back, or stay put at pick No. 10?

by Jimmy Kempski

Heading into any draft, there are always arguments to be made about trying to trade up for a better prospect, trading back and acquiring more draft picks, or just staying put at your spot and picking a player. As any casual follower of the Eagles knows, Howie Roseman tends to move around in the first round more than most.

A peek ahead to the Eagles' 2024 free agents

by Jimmy Kempski

The Philadelphia Eagles' roster was absolutely loaded in 2022, but in the salary capped NFL it's hard to keep nice things. Seven starters and several other key contributors bolted in free agency for more money with new teams, though Howie Roseman and the Eagles were unexpectedly able to retain some of their best players. In 2024, the Eagles won't have to worry quite as much about losing starting players in droves.

Eagles-only 2023 seven-round mock draft, version 4.0

by Jimmy Kempski

As you're probably aware, the Philadelphia Eagles have two first-round picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, and six picks total. While it's likely that Howie Roseman will move up and/or down the board as he usually does, we'll play it straight here and simply act as though the Eagles will stick and pick.

Ranking the Eagles' positional needs in the 2023 NFL Draft

by Jimmy Kempski

Now that free agency is pretty much in the rear view mirror, let's start draft month by ranking the Philadelphia Eagles' positional needs in the 2023 NFL Draft.
