I thought Johnny Wilson would have been selected by now.

I wish I could say I knew who either of them are.

Looks like a really really valuable returner with the new kickoff rule. Powerful yet decisive and quick, can find holes. That's exactly the type of returner that will thrive under the new rules.

Comps are TJ Edwards, a guy that was pretty productive in the Fangio scheme. Can’t say how much I love this pick.
7th trade of *this* draft for Howie. Really in his element this year.

He’s always been the eagles FO and players think he’s a joke. They keep him around for entertainment purposes. Arrogant clown who made **** up on Kelce and Doug that wasn’t true. Absolute clown. I’d have expected marcus Hayes to ask something like this as he always tries to bring or insinuate race into this. But stupid question non the less
Pretty amazing values

Obviously we have to see how it all plays out but what is there not to like from this draft? Position and player wise I can’t think of a single thing. This has been the most complete draft I’ve seen Howie have ever.

Howie, I’m sure you’re reading this so please pick Brenden Rice with our next pick.

He’s considered a run blocking guard but….
ZERO Sacks Allowed in 2023 (382 Pass Block Snaps)
These are the guys I like Stoutland to work with.

Eagles take Florida State WR Johnny Wilson.
Have to think he’s a possible TE given his size

Eagles just completed their ninth trade of this draft, the most of any team since 1990, when draft trades began to be tracked.

Eagles drafted NC State C Dylan McMahon

Keegan, 23, was a three-year starter for the national champions. He's 6-foot-5, 310 pounds. Started 36 games at LG. He's been first-team all-Big Ten and second-team all-Big Ten. He was a team captain for the Wolverines.
This is one of those ones that feels like he starts at some point

I don't know what Trotter is going to be in the NFL. He's undersized. Not particularly fast or athletic. TJ Edwards would be a best case IMO. Doubt he gets there.

He has the same expectations for me as any 5th round LBer would. Have to see how bad these guys want it and how well they’re coached up. Position wise we checked every box.

Per PFF
DeJean — The Eagles add two top-10 players on the PFF big board in the first two rounds of this draft, both at the cornerback position. DeJean projects as a movable piece in Vic Fangio’s defense who could theoretically end up outside, in the slot or at safety. He’s been extremely productive in the Iowasecondary, allowing just a 45.0 passer rating into his coverage over the past two seasons.
Hunt — A small-school player, Hunt dominated the lower levels, racking up 78 pressures, 14 hits and 14 sacks since 2022. He has athleticism, explosiveness and power that many edge rushers in this class don’t possess. He needs development to win at the next level, but his traits give him a great chance at reaching his potential.
Shipley — Shipley is one of the better athletes among running backs in this draft class, with a 99th-percentile PFF Game Athleticism Score. He was solid with the ball in his hands, too, and he earned a PFF grade above 70.0 in each of the past three seasons.
Smith — Smith proved a dangerous receiver after the catch at Texas A&M, as he forced 20 missed tackles after the catch in 2023 (seventh among all WRs). On 102 combined targets the past two seasons, he dropped just two passes.
Trotter — Sure to be one of the big stories of the day due to him heading to the same place where his father enjoyed an outstanding career, Trotter ranked fourth among all linebackers the past two seasons with a 91.3 overall grade. He also ranked fourth nationally in that time with a 92.1 coverage grade.
Keegan — Supplementing the interior is a sound approach here for the Eagles, who needed to fill some voids. Keegan didn’t allow a sack in 2023 and earned a career-high pass-blocking grade (80.7). He played eight games without allowing a single quarterback pressure.
Wilson — The massive receiver out of Florida Statefinally comes off the board in the sixth round. At 6-foot-6 and 231 pounds, Wilson ran an impressive 4.52-second 40-yard dash. While not a super-developed route runner, there is certainly a role at the next level for a vertical threat who converted 21 contested catches over the past two seasons.
McMahon — A depth pick at this point in the draft, McMahon allowed just one sack and 12 total pressures from 361 pass-blocking snaps in 2023. He put up career highs in overall grade (69.7) and pass-blocking grade (71.3) last season.

Jeremiah Trotter Sr. got drafted, had a son, had an entire legendary Eagles career of his own, raised his son who grew up to become an NFL Player himself and get drafted to the same team as his Dad…
All before the Dallas Cowboys reached another NFC Championship.

Quick thoughts
- Speaking during his post-draft press conference, Howie Roseman indicated the Eagles are only signing seven UDFAs. That’s a smaller group than usual and it fits the theme of them not loving the talent available in this year’s class.
- Nice to see the Eagles add an offensive tackle prospect after not landing one in the draft. Dankwah is a big man at nearly 6’8”, 353 pounds. He also has long arms (82 percentile arm length, 94 percentile wingspan). Worth enrolling him at Jeff Stoutland University.
- NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein had Hall projected as a fourth- or fifth-round pick. Adding some more DT depth is nice.
- McCallan Castles is a great name.
- NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein had Keaton projected as a sixth-round pick.
- The Eagles didn’t draft a Georgia player this year ... but their first reported UDFA signing was from there, naturally. Milton only caught 12 passes but he had solid rushing production. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein had him projected as a sixth-round pick.
