I saw yesterday that McShay is saying the first 4 picks might be QBs now.
1. Sunshine
2. Zach Wilson
3. Justin Fields in a trade up by Carolina
4. Trey Lance
5. TBD
6. Eagles
If the Eagles are staring at Chase and Smith I'm wondering who they'd go with.
I also am wondering if they might try and trade back because Jaylen Waddle is apparently getting rave reviews as a player almost as good as DeVonta Smith.
All that said... if the Eagles got DeVonta Smith at 6 and then got 20 or 21 and could somehow get a player like Kwity Paye or Greg Rousseau that would be a tremendous draft that could change the trajectory of the franchise. I really think the Eagles should pass on Derek Barnett if they can get a young DE in the draft with as much promise as Barnett. Josh Sweat no doubt is a quality third guy I think and Brandon Graham is aging but still Brandon Graham. The number one need on this defense in my mind is an elite edge rusher. I know we led the league in sacks by DL last year but I think we are extremely thin at that spot and devoid of young difference makers.
To me, other than WR an elite DE is my priority.
