We’re ranking the Philadelphia Eagles’ biggest position of need after the first wave of free agency and ahead of the 2023 NFL Draft
The Eagles will have two first-round picks in the NFL Draft, and after Howie Roseman efficiently worked through the first wave of free agency, the team’s most significant needs have somewhat changed.
Philadelphia signed Rashaad Penny in a surprising move and then was able to re-sign James Bradberry, along with Darius Slay.
There were losses on both sides of the football, as Miles Sanders (Bears) and Andre Dillard (Titans) departed on offense.
Javon Hargrave (49ers), T.J. Edwards (Bears), Kyzir White (Cardinals), and Marcus Epps (Raiders) all departed on the defensive side of the football, leaving huge holes to be filled.
Howie Roseman has talked about not wasting resources, and with the selection process just three weeks away, here are the Eagles’ most significant needs after the first wave of free agency and ahead of the draft.
Check out the jersey number that new free agent additions have selected to wear for the Cardinals in 2023.

As NFL rules now allow it, the Cardinals will have a player wearing No. 0 in 2023.
Below are the players and their new numbers.

We’re looking at one NFL Draft prospect to replace each of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2023 free-agency departures
The Eagles’ offensive and defensive units will look completely different after a mass exodus of big names.
Seven key Eagles starters or contributors are joining other organizations, as T.J. Edwards (Bears), Javon Hargrave (49ers), Andre Dillard (Titans), Miles Sanders (Panthers), Kyzir White (Cardinals), Gardner Minshew (Colts), and Marcus Epps (Raiders) have all agreed and will depart.
Philadelphia builds through the draft, and April’s selection process offers several intriguing prospects.
With all eyes looking ahead to draft day, here’s one prospect to replace each of the team’s departed free agents.
White knows he brings a good knowledge of what the Cardinals will want to do defensively.
The Arizona Cardinals’ most significant external addition in free agency so far is linebacker Kyzir White, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles.
He got a two-year deal worth as much as $11 million.
He thrived in Philly’s defense, working with Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon and defensive coordinator Nick Rallis, both of whom were on the Eagles’ staff as DC and linebackers coach.
That is a big reason why he signed with the Cardinals. He is knowledgable in the scheme and trusts his coaches to put him in a position to succeed.
What does he bring exactly?
“I feel like I have an advantage, so I want to give insight and help wherever I can,” White said via AZCardinals.com. “I’m never going to know everything. But that’s what I am striving to do, to be a quarterback of the defense.”
As a quarterback of the defense, perhaps he is expecting to play middle linebacker and make defensive calls like T.J. Edwards did for the Eagles last season. Or perhaps he will play the same role he had at one of the outside linebacker positions but be able to “quarterback” the defense from there.
He is excited to line up with Isaiah Simmons and Zaven Collins.
That could be a fun trio to watch in 2023 with White’s play and knowledge of the defense.

White got a two-year deal to join the Cardinals and start at linebacker.
The biggest move the Arizona Cardinals have made in free agency is signing linebacker Kyzir White, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles. It is a two-year deal worth up to $11 million.
White was solid for the Eagles last season, collecting 110 tackles, 1.5 sacks and breaking up seven passes.
He will presumably start at linebacker with Zaven Collins and Isaiah Simmons.
It is a decent deal for a productive player.

We’re updating the Philadelphia Eagles 2024 compensatory picks after losing Javon Hargrave, Marcus Epps, Kyzir White, Andre Dillard, Miles Sanders, Gardner Minshew, and T.J. Edwards in free agency
The Eagles have mostly sat out the compensatory pick process in recent years while retooling and utilizing mostly homegrown prospects.
Philadelphia is the reigning NFC champion and with 19 initial free agents, Howie Roseman was primed to land a handful of 2024 picks thanks to talented players likely landing elsewhere.
The Eagles, as expected, lost Javon Hargrave to the rival San Francisco 49ers for a 4-year, $84 million deal. The team also lost Andre Dillard (Titans), Marcus Epps (Raiders), Kyzir White (Cardinals), Miles Sanders (Panthers), T.J. Edwards (Bears), and now, Gardner Minshew, to the Colts.
According to Nick Korte of Over The Cap, Philadelphia will net a third-round pick for losing Hargrave and six late-round picks for Dillard, Minshew, Sanders, White, Edwards, and Epps.
Compensatory picks aren’t a win-now thing that helps the Birds continue to compete in 2023, but the 2024 draft is looking like another opportunity to reload on both sides of the football.
The Eagles continue to run up the score with compensatory free agents departed to other teams.
Up to 7 now (Hargrave, Dillard, Edwards, Epps, White, Sanders, and now Gardner Minshew), with only Rashaad Penny's pending contract possibly the only one they've signed. https://t.co/4KJkqJDxAg

Nakobe Dean is ready for an increased role, and with T.J. Edwards also exiting via the free agency process, Howie Roseman may have a choice to make in the draft.
