2020 NFL Draft: 10 players the Eagles could target if they trade back

The Philadelphia Eagles now have eight picks in the 2020 NFL Draft after the team acquired Darius Slay via trade from the Lions.

The Eagles traded away pick No. 85 (3rd-round) and pick No. 166 (5th round) to the Lions, and that scenario could make things interesting.

Roseman had previously expressed comfort in the Eagles having 10 picks in the draft and with the Birds sitting at No. 21 in the first round, Philadelphia could choose to trade back and acquire more picks for the later rounds.

If the Eagles decide they don’t want to part with the assets required to land Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb or Henry Ruggs, Howie Roseman could stand pat at No. 21 for a player like Justin Jefferson or Denzel Mims.

Roseman could also decide to move back several picks, enabling the Eagles to secure a high-profile wide receiver and an extra second or third-round pick.

If the Eagles do decide to trade back, here are the 10-potential prospects they could target.

1. Yetur Gross-Matos, EDGE, Penn State

The Eagles love edge-rushers and Gross-Matos (6-5, 266 pounds) is an explosive and versatile defender who can play more than position and provide the spark that Derek Barnett needs while making that front even more devastating.
