Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...Steals of the 2019 NFL Draft - PFFPick 22 – T Andre Dillard Womens Isaac Seumalo Jersey , Philadelphia Eagles. Big Board Rank: 13th. Andre Dillard may not even see the field in 2019 if Jason Peters and Lane Johnson stay healthy. However, with the learning curve so steep along the offensive line, that might be a good thing. The reason I love the pick though is not solely because of how good Dillard is (he’s very good), but also because of the foresight. This is likely Peters’ last season and if they hit on Dillard, that saves them $15-plus million a year that they would have likely had to shell out in free agency if they wanted a competent starter. You can’t get that type of incremental positional value drafting a guard or safety. [...] Pick 57 – JJ Arcega-Whiteside, Philadelphia Eagles. Big Board Rank: 23rdArcega-Whiteside should take the Eagles’ red-zone offense to the next level. His body control and catch radius is a perfect pairing with Carson Wentz. The Stanford wideout led the nation in red zone receiving grade last year.There’s an important date coming up on the NFL calendar next week - BGNNext Wednesday — May 8 — is an important day on the 2019 NFL calendar, especially as the Philadelphia Eagles are concerned. After May 7, free agent signings no longer count towards or against a team’s compensatory pick formula. This is both good and bad news for the Eagles. The good news is they’re free to add some veteran additions to their roster (Ezekiel Ansah? Derrick Morgan? A linebacker and/or or saftey?) without cancelling out the comp picks they’re currently projected to receive. The bad news is the Eagles won’t be able to count on guys like Jay Ajayi and Stefen Wisniewski signing elsewhere to help Philly’s chances of landing extra picks.NFL Draft Fallout: Top Fantasy Football Rookies for 2019 - DraftKingsThe analytically minded Eagles understand the relative lack of value in running backs. They won the Super Bowl with a committee of LeGarrette Blount, Jay Ajayi and Corey Clement. They hadn’t drafted a running back in the first three rounds since LeSean McCoy in 2009. So Howie Roseman’s decision to use the No. 53 overall pick on Sanders shows how highly they think of the Penn State product. “Miles was a staff favorite. A personnel staff favorite. A front-office favorite,” said Roseman. From an athletic measureable perspective Chuck Bednarik Jersey , Sanders was arguably the best prospect in this class. He met all six of the minimum thresholds for an elite fantasy running back, doesn’t have a lot of tread on his tires after playing behind Saquon Barkley in 2016-17 and ranked eighth in the country in yards after contact per attempt. While the Eagles only gave up a conditional sixth-round pick to acquire Jordan Howard, their draft capital investment in Sanders suggests he’ll be the lead dog in this committee. Expect Sanders’ market share to grow as he runs circles around Howard, Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement.Who Is This NFL Draft’s JuJu Smith-Schuster? - The RingerArcega-Whiteside’s touchdown-snagging prowess in the red zone is perhaps the most NFL-ready skill of any pass catcher in the draft class. His mother was a legendary NCAA basketball player and both of his parents played professional hoops in Europe. JJ fouled out too often in high school to make it in basketball (seriously) but he stuck with football. After years of announcers reminding us that “Jimmy Graham played basketball!” we finally have Graham’s spiritual successor. Philly is an ideal spot for him to succeed. Quarterback Carson Wentz is an aggressive quarterback in the red zone. Tight end Zach Ertz will see a lot of double-teams after having the second-most targets among all players in 2018. Alshon Jeffery usually attracts the opposing team’s most physical defensive back near the end zone, so not only will Arcega-Whiteside see a lot of single coverage in the red zone, he will have favorable matchups against teams that lack cornerback depth. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he produces the most touchdowns of any receiver in this class.NFC East 2019 draft grades: Cowboys edition - PhillyVoiceThe Cowboys already signed Demarcus Lawrence to a five-year deal worth $105 million with $65 million guaranteed. That’s just the beginning. They are also going to have to sign Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, running back, there’s not a position fans worry about more than linebacker and I get it. The Eagles lost Jordan Hicks and now have Nigel Bradham, Kamu Grugier-Hill http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-herman-edwards-jersey , Nate Gerry, Paul Worrilow, L.J. Fort and B.J. Bello. They also added Wisconsin linebacker T.J. Edwards after the draft. The only reason I have LB below OG is because of the importance of the position, but there’s an argument to be made that no need is greater than linebacker. If things stay the way they are, I’d assume Bradham and Grugier-Hill will be the starters and then the rest of the guys fight for the third job and backup roles. Not ideal, but the Eagles haven’t put a huge emphasis on the position in recent years and they use two linebackers the majority of the time.NFL’s Wild, Wild West: The way undrafted free agents are signed is a chaotic, undignified mess - CBS SportsI’m going to let you in on a dirty little secret. When it comes to signing undrafted free agents after the NFL draft, there really are no rules. It is, as some agents explained Womens Tommy McDonald Jersey , “the Wild, Wild West,” devoid of any real regulation by the league office or elsewhere. It is an all-out free-for-all, with both teams and agents angling to complete these deals not only during the draft – technically they aren’t allowed to sign such players until after the draft – but, in many cases, actually agreeing to verbal terms before the draft even begins. Signing bonuses can range from $500 to $135,000 (essentially guaranteeing what a season of pay on the practice squad would be) in a manic craze as teams try to secure what they believe is the best undrafted talent. Meanwhile, players and agents try to find the best fit, somehow, despite at times having to juggle multiple calls from 10-20 teams – each with a dozen or so people making calls on players – all at the same time Jerome Brown Jersey , and all demanding answers as soon as possible.Will the Jaguars offense be any different? - Big Cat CountryThe Jaguars didn’t hire Flip and pay Nick Foles to run the ball 40 times a game. While I have my opinion on Foles, he is a significant upgrade over Blake Bortles, which itself should open the offense up more. You can trust Foles, at least you’d assume so, more than you could the previous quarterback and you won’t be as hamstrung as you were previously which means you’re not almost forced to run the ball as much as you did. I still expect the Jaguars to focus on running the ball and hitting big plays off of play-action, but it’s not going to be as laborious or obvious as it has been in the past.The A+ move each team made in the 2019 NFL Draft - SB NationGetting Carson Wentz a jump-ball target. Arguably no wide receiver in the draft is better at high-pointing contested catches than JJ Arcega-Whiteside. He gives the Eagles something Nelson Agholor and DeSean Jackson can’t do, and that Alshon Jeffery won’t be able to do for much longer....Social Media Information:BGN Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBGN Twitter: Follow @BleedingGreenBGN Manager: Brandon Lee Gowton: Follow @BrandonGowtonBGN Radio Twitter: Follow @BGN_Radio It could be nice if they did."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Eagles StoriesScheduleRosterStatsYahoo Eagles NewsYahoo Eagles Team PageYahoo Eagles ReportYahoo Eagles Depth ChartYahoo Eagles TransactionsYahoo Eagles PhotosOdds About Masthead Community Guidelines StubHub 鉁旴reaking NewsThe Eagles' 2019 draft class is finalized 脳NFL DraftWill the Eagles pick one of the 23 players attending the 2019 NFL Draft?

Shea-USA TODAY Sports23 prospects from the 2019 NFL Draft will be attending this year’s big event in Nashville, Tennessee. The league officially announced the following list on Tuesday evening:I’m always interested to see this list when it comes out. I can’t help but wonder: “Will the Eagles select one of these players?” It’s just nice to see Philly’s first-round pick holding their new Eagles jersey up on stage ... as opposed to merely viewing a highlights package presented by the TV broadcast. The last two Eagles first-round selections to physically attend the NFL Draft were Carson Wentz and Derek Barnett. Philly was picking much higher in those years (No. 2 and No. 14, respectively) than they are this year.With that in mind http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-seth-joyner-jersey , a number of these players won’t be on the board by the time the Eagles pick. It’s possible none of them are still in the green room.If I had to guess, I think the following prospects could realistically be in play for Philly’s first-round pick. Ed Oliver (trade up)Christian WilkinsCody FordJosh JacobsMarquise BrownDeandre BakerWe know that Oliver, Wilkins, Ford, Jacobs, and Baker are on the Eagles’ radar since Philly has hosted them on pre-draft visits. Landing one of Oliver, Wilkins, and Ford would be most preferable considering how important it is to build through the trenches.What say you? Will the Eagles land one of these players on draft night?
