Only certainty for Eagles is more draft activity
12. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 4-11-1
LAST SEASON: Eagles were the worst team in the worst division in the NFL even though they would´ve won the NFC East with victories in the final two games. Philadelphia couldn´t overcome injuries that sidelined nine starters on offense and poor performance from quarterback Carson Wentz that led to his benching. Coach Doug Pederson was fired just three seasons after winning a Super Bowl and Wentz was traded to Indianapolis.
FREE AGENCY: Lost DB Jalen Mills, LB Nate Gerry, DE Vinny Curry, S Rudy Ford, LB Duke Riley, QB Nate Sudfeld, P Cameron Johnston. Signed S Anthony Harris, QB Joe Flacco, LB Kyle Wilson, S Andrew Adams. Re-signed RB Jordan Howard, DT Hassan Ridgeway.
THEY NEED: OL, DL, CB, S, LB, WR.
THEY DON´T NEED: QB, RB.
POSSIBLE FIRST PICK: Northwestern OL Rashawn Slater, Alabama CB Patrick Surtain II, Alabama WR Jaylen Waddle, South Carolina CB Jaycee Horn, Penn State LB Micah Parsons.
OUTLOOK: GM Howie Roseman already traded down from No. 6 to acquire a 2022 first-round pick and there´s a possibility he can move further down or even back up. The Eagles have 11 picks and it´s unlikely they´ll use all of them, especially because Roseman enjoys wheeling and dealing. Since 1988 the Eagles have picked in the top half of the first round 13 times. They´ve selected two quarterbacks, four offensive linemen and seven defensive linemen. Solid bet they´ll use the pick for a lineman on either side.
