I like this. What do you "experts" think?
1 25 to Cincinnati
2 42 G Chris Lindstrom, Boston College from CIN*
2 53 FS Juan Thornhill, Virgnia from BAL
2 57 to New York Jets
3 68 WR Miles Boykin, Notre Dame from NYJ*
4 127 DT Greg Gaines, Washington
4 138 to Detroit
5 146 OT Dennis Daley, South Carolina from DET*
5 163 RB James Williams, Washington State
6 197 C Hjalte Froholdt, Arkansas
6 198 OLB Porter Gustin, USC from CIN*
7 224 WR Alex Wesley, Northern Colorado from DET*
ILB Darron Lee (from NY Jets)
The Eagles have the option of trading up to the 13-15 range and getting one of the top two LBs thanks to their extra second-round pick, but when both are off the board in the first 11 selections, they reverse course and move down to allow Cincinnati to come up for a quarterback. The move nets the Eagles No. 42 plus a sixth-rounder and a 2020 second-rounder as they again build draft capital in a future class.
With their new first pick, the team selected Lindstrom, a plug-and-play guard who can step right in between Jason Peters and Jason Kelce. Thornhill is an excellent free safety prospect who might also be able to play corner. No. 53 should be a great spot of the draft to find secondary talent. The team uses its other second-round pick to trade back 11 spots and pick up Lee, a middle linebacker who has fallen out of favor in New York, before using the early third-round pick on Boykin, who tested through the roof at the combine and has future No. 1 receiver potential even if he's not one of the most touted WR prospects in this class.
After adding some depth at defensive tackle with the beefy Gaines, the Eagles trade back a few spots for an extra late pick, then take a developmental tackle in Daley as insurance for Peters. Williams is an excellent receiving back who can fill the Darren Sproles role and should serve as a good complement to Jordan Howard. Froholdt is another developmental lineman who can back up Kelce, Gustin is an edge rusher who I might try as a strongside linebacker who can defend the run if he loses some weight, and Wesley is a small-school sleeper who can develop into a deep threat for whenever time is up on DeSean Jackson.
