A Promising, Auspicious Young Core?

All of these players are locked in, at least through the 2022 season.

Jalen Hurts – 23

Miles Sanders – 24

Kenneth Gainwell – 22

** Jordan Mailata – 24

Landon Dickerson – 23

Jack Anderson – 23 

Nate Herbig – 23

DeVonta Smith – 23

Quez Watkins – 23

** Dallas Goedert – 26

Tyree Jackson – 24

Jack Stoll – 23

** Josh Sweat – 24

Milton Williams – 22

** TJ Edwards – 25

Davion Taylor – 23

** Avonte Maddox – 25

** Howie has done a really good job, recently, of signing these young core guys to team friendly extensions.

More impressive, is the fact that all current 11 offensive starters are homegrown draft picks.

Looking at this, I think it becomes clear what positions need to be addressed in the upcoming 2022 NFL draft. The Eagles, under Howie Roseman, have always prioritized the lines. It would be surprising to see less than 2 of their 4 top 40 picks not being used on the OL and DE. The cornerback position needs to be addressed in the top 40 as well. Your pick of linebacker or safety would presumably be one of the 4 too. 

I have a fluid draft piece on the site where I update the top 32 prospects that I project to be round one talents.

But I am steadfast in the belief that the Eagles need to select 4 of these 5 positions (assuming they keep all 4 picks) with their first and second round draft capital.
