Reviewing The Teams:

I expect the Philadelphia Eagles to draft (my picks):

  1. Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State
  2. Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn
  3. Chad Hansen, WR, Cal
  4. Cameron Sutton, CB, Tennessee
  5. Jalen Reeves-Maybin, LB, Tennessee
  6. Nico Siragusa, G, San Diego State
  7. Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming
  8. Treyvon Hester, DL, Toledo

Ideally, they draft (How The Mighty Have Fallen):

  1. Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State
  2. Derek Rivers, DE, Youngstown State
  3. Taywan Taylor, WR, Western Kentucky
  4. Ahkello Witherspoon, CB, Colorado
  5. Alex Anzalone, LB, Florida
  6. Sean Harlow, G, Oregon State
  7. Donnel Pumphrey, RB, San Diego State
  8. DeAngelo Brown, DL, Louisville

Hopefully, they won’t reach for (They Be Reachin’):

  1. Marlon Hupmhrey, CB, Alabama
  2. Tarell Basham, DE, Ohio
  3. K.D. Cannon, WR, Baylor
  4. Shaquill Griffin, CB, UCF
  5. Tanner Vallejo, LB, Boise State
  6. Danny Isidora, G, Miami
  7. Aaron Jones, RB, UTEP
  8. Josh Tupou, DL, Colorado

Someone please check on me if they draft (Please, Dear God, Not):

  1. Kevin King, CB, Washington
  2. Tyus Bowser, DE, Houston
  3. Dede Westbrook, WR, Oklahoma
  4. Howard Wilson, CB, Houston
  5. Paul Magloire, LB, Arizona
  6. Damien Mama, G, USC
  7. Marlon Mack, RB, USF
  8. Josh Augusta, DL, Missouri

And if things go sideways (they will), watch out these names (The Dark Horse):

  1. Adoree’ Jackson, CB, USC
  2. Dawuane Smoot, DE, Illinois
  3. Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern Washington
  4. Jeremy Cutrer, CB, Middle Tennessee
  5. Steven Taylor, LB, Houston
  6. Jordan Morgan, G, Kutztown
  7. James Conner, RB, Pittsburgh
  8. Charles Walker, DL, Oklahoma

Next: Drafting Christian McCaffrey would be a mistake

And there you have it. 40 players the Philadelphia Eagles could draft–24 I’d like to see, another 8 I’d like to see at the right price, and 8 I’d rather avoid entirely. Let this be your gentle reminder that there are not only eight Eagle picks come Thursday, but also countless possibilities, eventualities, and factors to consider. As such, there is not one prospect that is a “perfect fit for the Philadelphia Eagles,” there are several. They don’t need to draft one position first, nor can they wait on just one position. There are tens of thousands of moving parts. So watch, enjoy, and remember–nobody can predict what happens in an NFL Draft room.

Unless I get one right. In which case, I can.
