The Eagles have a model for roster building, and the 2023 NFL draft has caused many discussions regarding what Howie Roseman should do with his Super Bowl roster.
Philadelphia has the No. 10 and No. 30 overall picks in the first round, and the expectation is that the Birds will build from the inside out.
Howie Roseman has thrived on the principles of a continuous reload in the trenches while constantly restocking on pass rushers and talent at the cornerback position.
The NFL’s top offense resides in Philadelphia, and some pundits believe Bijan Robinson or a game-changing slot receiver could take the Eagles’ offense to another level.
Running backs in the NFL have a particular shelf life.
The idea is that passing on 8-11 years of productivity from an offensive or defensive tackle or edge rusher isn’t prudent or drafting for value.
ESPN’s Matt Miller and Jason Reid attempted to make sense of NFL teams juggling the decision to draft to fill a considerable team need or pick based on “best player available.”
Should Philadelphia address a need without reaching, or should a Super Bowl roster add someone like Bijan Robinson or another explosive offensive player on a team ready-made to win now?
ESPN explored both sides of the table for all 31 first-round picks, with Miller named a prospect who would best fill every team’s most significant need. Reid details an option to give each team maximum value and satisfy a “best player available” approach.
Here’s a breakdown of the Eagles’ problem and what could happen.
