2017 NFL Draft: Philadelphia Eagles Mock Draft
By Jon Dove
The Philadelphia Eagles will have an interesting 2017 NFL Draft thanks to several trades over the past year.
This has been a very interesting season so far for the Philadelphia Eagles. They started the offseason by trading several draft choices in order to move to the No. 2 pick and grab quarterback Carson Wentz. The original plan was to have him sit and learn this season, but that all changed when the Eagles traded Sam Bradford to the Minnesota Vikings.
In the end, the Eagles made several moves but will head into the 2017 NFL draft with a pick in each of the first 4 rounds.
This will give Philadelphia the opportunity to build a better foundation around their young quarterback. It’s not out of the question that a large majority of the team’s early picks come on the offensive side of the ball.
The Eagles don’t exactly have high-end talent along the offensive line, at wide receiver or running back. They basically have a patchwork group at receiver and running back. There’s a huge difference between having intriguing options like Dorial Green-Beckham and Jordan Matthews and a true No. 1 receiver.
However, the biggest problem might be the offensive line and that’s the direction I went in the first round of this Philadelphia Eagles 2017 Mock Draft.
