Will Eagles target one player, or move down more?
The Philadelphia Eagles have a habit in recent years of moving up in the NFL Draft.
Blogger Cody Benjamin takes a closer look at Philadelphia's activity and how it could be influenced next week. Most of the elite level talent will be long gone by the 23rd pick, but it's possible they could unload some picks if there's one player they're targeting.
"If a notable player like Da'Quan Bowers or Ryan Kerrigan slips in the opening round, the Eagles could ignore one of their primary needs by capitalizing on an opportunity to grab a top-notch prospect, but again, it?s unclear how the labor ordeal will pan out and what the team plans on doing as a result of it," Benjamin writes.
Benjamin also goes on to mention that the last time Philadelphia traded out of its original first-round spot was three years ago. Then, Carolina got their 19th pick and the Eagles got three picks in exchange.
One of them was used on DeSean Jackson (pictured).
Writes Benjamin: "The season before that, the Eagles also moved out of the first round, dealing with Dallas to acquire a second-rounder and two other picks, one of which turned into quarterback Kevin Kolb (whose fate for the 2011 season coincidentally centers on the state of the current labor situation). The team has also executed a number of mid- and late-round trades, moving to load up on later selections and increase its roster depth."
Philadelphia has been very intentional and always seemed to add great pieces. Let's see if the Eagles will do the same this year when it comes to a corner and offensive line.
