With the NFL Draft just two days away, speculation is swirling that Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is considering using one or both of his team’s second-round picks to move up in the first round. However, the extent to which the Eagles could ascend in the draft order is uncertain.
If the Eagles were to offer both the 22nd and 53rd picks to move up in the first round, it would represent a significant investment of draft capital. Such a move would indicate that Roseman and the Eagles’ coaching staff have identified a player or players that they believe can make an immediate impact on the team.
It is important to note that the value of draft picks can vary significantly depending on the perceived talent and depth of the draft class. In this year’s draft, there is a consensus that the top of the first round is particularly strong, with several highly regarded prospects at key positions. This could potentially drive up the cost of moving up in the draft.
Whether or not the Eagles ultimately decide to trade up in the first round will likely depend on a number of factors, including the availability of their desired targets, the perceived value of the picks they would need to surrender, and their overall draft strategy.
