What should the Eagles do with their elite NFL Draft capital in 2022?
With elite capital in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles could reshape their franchise this offseason by picking the right players in April.
The Eagles come into this draft straight stacked with draft capital, with their showing last year if they can capitalize in the NFL Draft the Eagles could be a legit team in 2022. They have eleven picks in this year’s NFL Draft. Here is a look at those picks and where they land.
15th overall, 16th overall, 19th overall, 51st overall, 83rd overall, 122nd overall, 153rd overall, 161st overall, 165th overall, 192nd overall, and 205th overall.
If they manage to hit on all six in the top-150 this team could be quite dangerous heading into next season. Pending how the progression of Jalen Hurts goes, I expect them to draft another QB in the later rounds of the draft. This will help have an option if things with Hurts do not pan out as hoped.
Having the 15th, 16th, and 19th picks in the first round gives the Eagles the ability to literally do anything they want. They can move up, move down, or trade their picks for players that could fix holes in their team.
With having the 15th and 16th pick in the first round, I expect one of them to get moved to move up or down. This draft offers a lot in the first round for some of their biggest needs at WR, DB, OL, and Pass rush. If they keep all three and get the best of the best, this would be a massive win for a team who at one point didn’t look to be too far behind the Dallas Cowboys.
Let’s take a look at options in the first round.
