Eagles 2020 NFL Draft preview: Defensive end

The Eagles love drafting edge rushers. Excluding the three years (2013-2015) under Chip Kelly when the Eagles ran that foofy two-gap, 3-4 defense, the Eagles have drafted eight defensive ends overall since Howie Roseman became the GM in 2010, and at least one every year except 2011.

Eagles 2020 NFL Draft preview: Interior offensive line

As it currently stands, there's an argument to be made that the Eagles have the best interior offensive line in the NFL. However, a report emerged last offseason that Jason Kelce was mulling retirement, a notion that Kelce himself acknowledged.

Eagles 2020 NFL Draft preview: Tight end

In Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert the Eagles have the best 1-2 tight end combo in the NFL. As such, they are primed to run a whole lot of two-TE sets, as they did in 2019. If the Eagles are going to commit to a two-TE base offense for the foreseeable future, then they would be smart to add a third TE for depth.

Eagles 2020 NFL Draft preview: Wide receivers

As far as, "Which receivers make sense for the Eagles," the answer is probably, you know, all of them, since they have precisely zero surefire, long-term answers at the position. Receivers of all shapes, sizes, and skill sets are needed, though certainly, there should be a focus on speed.

Eagles 2020 NFL Draft preview: Running back

The Eagles currently only have three running backs on their roster. During 2019 training camp, they had eight, and they usually carry at least four, sometimes five, on their regular season roster. My conclusion? They're probably going to add more running backs.

Eagles 2020 NFL Draft preview: Quarterback

Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be taking a look at each of the Philadelphia Eagles' positional groups. We'll determine if the Birds are likely to select a player at that position with one of their eight picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, as well as note some players who make sense. We'll start with quarterback, which is among the lowest positions on the Eagles' draft need totem pole, but still a potential spot that could be addressed with a developmental player.

Eagles new player (or current player with new role) series: Jatavis Brown edition

Those who follow the Chargers closely mostly think that Jatavis Brown had a very promising rookie season, but injuries and a scheme change perhaps stunted his growth. In 2019, there's really no way to sugarcoat his play. He was bad, as you'll see in this Twitter thread here.
