How will the Eagles attack the 2021 NFL Draft?

Not only was 2020 year to forget for all of us, but specifically for the Philadelphia Eagles.

A 4-11-1 record, a head coach who walked out the door after a disagreeable meeting with the owner, and no future at the most important position in football. After their failure of a 2020 campaign, the Eagles now hold the 6th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Still with his job, general manager Howie Roseman will look to add as much young talent as possible.

This offseason will be an interesting one to follow in Philadelphia. How does the Carson Wentz saga play out? Who will become their next head coach? Can Roseman hang on to his post? But most importantly, what direction could the City of Brotherly Love turn this upcoming April?

There are quite a few team needs on the depth chart of the Eagles, a team also now in need of a new head coach. Entering the season with what looked to be one of the top offensive lines in the NFL. However, the injuries to Brandon Brooks and Andre Dillard preseason shot that unit in the foot, then Jason Peters, Lane Johnson, and Jason Kelce all missed time throughout the year as well. This is an underrated direction they could turn.

Other offensive positions include potentially quarterback, another running back, and wide receiver. Defensively, the Eagles could turn just about every position on the roster, with the biggest of the holes being in their secondary. Here are three options for the Eagles when the 2021 NFL Draft rolls around.
