It’s that time of the year to start thinking about what the Eagles might do in the draft once the season is over. It is tough to say where they’d pick at this point since the NFC East is a steaming pile of dog shit at the current moment, but here are the names to start looking at and imagining in Eagles green.
Eagles Selection
Pick 14: Linebacker Leonard Floyd, Georgia
This pick is a chance to get an impact player on defense for Philadelphia. A lot of fans think it’s quarterback or bust here, but there isn’t a passer worth taking at this place of the draft with Lynch and Goff off the board. So Chip Kelly, or whomever is calling the shots in late April, will look to grab a defender who can shake up a stale back seven behind a fantastic defensive line.
Floyd may make fans think of Marcus Smith, but they couldn’t be more different. Floyd has length, burst at the line of scrimmage and the physical upside to play with his hand in the dirt or as an off-the-ball linebacker. He’s a defensive chess piece, which is what Smith was supposed to be but hasn’t become.
