Featuring:
An athletic freak for the defensive line, an equally athletic freak on the offensive side of the ball, a game-changer for the defensive backfield, and a DT who went to college at age 16.
And that’s just in the first 100 picks!
The Haul:
10 Nolan Smith Edge Georgia
The Eagles not only aren’t afraid to gamble on athleticism, they seemingly prefer it.
Nolan is one of the most athletic edge rushers in recent memory.
The Eagles have also had an up-close look at a player with a similar skill set for the past year.
Nolan and Reddick coming off the edge is a nightmare for any defensive coordinator.
38 Darnell Washington TE Georgia
When Eagles GM Howie Roseman stated
“I think the most important thing when you’re picking in the first round, certainly when you’re picking 10, is that you get a unique player”
Well, there just so happens to be a unicorn available at Tight End!
For those who do not understand why the Eagles would select another tight end, see below.
Don’t forget the Eagles did just petition the league for teams to start using #0. Which has been granted for this season.
I’m just saying…
62 Antonio Johnson S Texas A&M
He’s big, he’s strong, he sheds blocks, blitzes, hits ball carriers with bad intentions, and plays a brand of football that Eagles fans will love.
100 Moro Ojomo DT Texas
Ojomo is versatile, can play 3 tech, above-average power rusher, and can shed and absorb blocks with his strong lower body.
Moro also stood up to top-tier opponents.
Fun Fact:
Ojomo was only 16 when he enrolled at Texas.
He redshirted while a true freshman, appearing in three late-season games, including the conference championship.
Incredible.
140 Andrew Vorhees OG USC
The Eagles have proven to not be risk-averse in drafting a player with the intention of sitting a year whether it be due to injury or just a red-shirt year. Vorhees could be that player this year, and be a starting guard next season.
Andrew played OT in 2021, so he offers some versatility, but his future appears to be at guard.
He has already started the road to recovery from tearing an ACL at the combine, and no one can question his heart!
142 Dorian Thompson-Robinson QB UCLA
He is mobile and has an above-average arm while throwing with a seemingly effortless and natural release from almost any angle.
Touting a very similar skill set to Jalen Hurts, Dorian would be an ideal backup to groom.
DTR, welcome to the QB factory!
219 Derius Davis WR TCU
The Eagles have long needed a punt returner and would welcome one of the best in college football to Philadelphia.
Derius also has the ability to develop as a receiver and be a threat in the passing game.
248 Jake Witt OT Northern Michigan
Standing 6’7 and weighing in at 302 lbs, Jake has the traits that Eagles O-line coach Jeff Stoutland normally relishes from a prospect.
Stoutland University could bring the best out of Witt, and he would be a perfect addition to develop and add to their aging offensive line.
