Lets get it back to the Eagles…

Derrick Gunn said on his show “Sports Take,” alongside Barrett Brooks and Rob Ellis, that the Eagles main priorities going into the draft are wide receiver and edge rusher:

And water is wet…

There’s nothing Howie loves more than edge rushers and wide receivers because he typically misses on one every three years, so he’s forced to re-draft another. Next I’m going to hear the Eagles are interested in a Pac-12 player with injury concerns or a star free agent cornerback from a west coast team.

Here’s my controversial opinion when it comes to the NFL Draft: I want the Eagles to draft a good player. I know. Brave. I hate the lead up to the draft. Who needs seven mock drafts? Every executive in the league is lying even to the most plugged in guys. Like DGunn said, nothing in the draft is known except for the two first picks and that’s not even a guarantee this year. Nobody in the top half of the draft even wants to pick:

Tom Pelissero from NFL Network says some teams have fewer than 15 guys with first round grades, to which Jeff McLane mentioned the “Eagles would fall into this class”:

DGunn doesn’t think Howie wheels and deals unless it’s for a corner. Jeff McLane thinks Howie could move up and trade #15 and trade out of #18. Even the Eagles guys are hearing differently. It’s #SmokeScreenSzn and everyone’s a loser!

If I had to guess, I’d say Howie stays at #15 and trades #18 to someone looking to jump the Saints and Pittsburgh. The only thing Howie Roseman likes more than wide receivers and edge rushers are draft are assets in his shiny war chest he can use to distract Jeffrey Lurie away from another rebuild.
