A few players the Eagles likely wouldn't mind trading for draft picks

by Jimmy Kempski

The Philadelphia Eagles have made three picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. They only have two remaining. If they only make those picks and don't find a way to add more picks, they will have only made five picks. Trust me, I double-checked the math on that. And so, the Eagles will likely be looking to trade some of their veteran players for more picks, difficult (and rare) as that may be once the draft is already underway. By popular request, here are some players who might make sense in a trade.

by Jimmy Kempski

The NFC East teams were very busy in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, as the Eagles, Giants and Washington all traded up to select players. The Giants made three first-round picks, Washington made two, and the Eagles made one. The Cowboys did not have a pick, because they traded it for wide receiver Amani Cooper. Let's analyze each pick the "other" NFC East teams made on Day 1.

Eagles select Stanford WR JJ Arcega-Whiteside with 57th pick in 2019 NFL Draft

by Jimmy Kempski

JJ Arcega-Whiteside is a very interesting choice, in that he has a similar skill set to that of Alshon Jeffery. In 2018, he had 68 catches for 1059 yards and an impressive 14 TDs.
