    Eagles have 10 picks in 2020 NFL Draft


    Chris McPherson

    Howie Roseman will have plenty of ammo to retool the Eagles' roster on draft weekend.
    The Eagles officially have 10 selections in the 2020 NFL Draft after the NFL awarded 32 compensatory picks on Tuesday, three of them going to the Eagles for the net loss of free agents in the 2019 offseason. The Eagles were one of six teams to receive three compensatory picks. Only the New England Patriots earned more with four. The first round of the 2020 NFL Draft is set for April 23 in Las Vegas, the new home of the Raiders. Make sure to watch our live coverage all weekend long on Eagles Draft Central presented by Dietz and Watson.
    Here is a look at the Eagles' 10 picks in the 2020 NFL Draft:
    1st Round: No. 21 overall
    2nd Round: No. 53 overall
    3rd Round: No. 85 overall
    3rd Round: No. 103 overall (Compensatory pick)
    4th Round: No. 127 overall
    4th Round: No. 145 overall (Compensatory pick)
    4th Round: No. 146 overall (Compensatory pick)
    5th Round: No. 166 overall
    5th Round: No. 168 overall (From New England)
    6th Round: No. 190 overall (From Atlanta)
    How did the Eagles earn three compensatory picks? According to the NFL's formula for determining compensatory picks, quarterback Nick Foles, linebacker Jordan Hicks, and wide receiver Golden Tate counted as free agents lost, while the Eagles didn't acquire any free agents who factored into the formula.
    *Note that the Arizona Cardinals used a 2020 fifth-round pick in the 2019 Supplemental Draft, so the Eagles' last three selections are moved up a spot.

    This is quite a haul. They now have 7 picks in the top 150. I'm going to go against the grain here but they don't need quantity... they need quality.

    I would think one of those third round picks could be used to move up 5-10 spots in the second round. You could also put a few picks together and even use them to move up in the first round if a guy like Jeudy is sliding into the teens. You could go get him.

    It also gives you the chance to use maybe one of those extra third round picks on a RB to pair with Miles Sanders and you could even consider using that second round pick on an interior lineman or center because usually very quality guards and centers are available in the second and third round.
    You know Darren if you'd have told me 10 years ago that someday I was going to solve the world's energy problems I'd have said your crazy.... now lets drop this big ball of oil out the window.

      Copy that AW! Does anybody really believe that we are going to have 10 rookies make the squad?

        I'd spend half of my picks for this guy:

          Those comp picks are the spots I have been reading about for awhile now. I agree that they need to use a couple picks in order to move up. Don't know what the value chart would say but if the can get up to 40-45 and then in the third get up to 70 or so they should have three good players
          Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
          Hope is not a strategy

            Or they could just use all 10 on LSU's starters.

              I don't think they'll draft ten either, E60. Some of those picks might be used in a trade-up scenario.
