The upcoming NFL Draft is shaping up to be a highly anticipated event, with teams across the league having tough decisions to make regarding their draft strategy. While Caleb Williams is widely projected to go to Chicago with the first overall pick, uncertainty remains for the Washington Commanders at number two. Top teams like the Patriots and Cardinals have expressed interest in trading up, but the asking price for a top-five selection could prove too high.
Multiple teams in the draft’s middle range, including the Colts, Jaguars, and Rams, are reportedly actively exploring trade-up scenarios to acquire potential cornerbacks. The Rams, who haven’t made a first-round pick since Jared Goff in 2016, are also monitoring the situation.
The Philadelphia Eagles, currently holding the 22nd overall pick, are rumored to be aiming for a higher spot to secure one of the draft’s top receivers. Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr., LSU’s Malik Nabers, and Washington’s Rome Odunze are potential targets. Additionally, the Eagles may be interested in Georgia tight end Brock Bowers or a cornerback or offensive lineman.
