7 Eagles that could be included in a trade during the 2020 NFL Draft draft

The Philadelphia Eagles have several players that they covet in the NFL draft and it’s not without question that Howie Roseman makes a draft-day trade.

The Eagles are likely to include picks in any deal but could also throw in a player or two for some more salary-cap relief.

With the draft set to kick off in over an hour, here are five Eagles that could be apart of draft-night deals.

1. Andre Dillard

The Eagles 2019 first-round pick is listed as the teams’ starter at left tackle but according to NBC Sports he could be included in a deal if the teams need more ammunition to move up in the draft to grab a receiver.

4 positions for the Eagles that don’t need much attention in 2020

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to make sweeping changes to their roster, but they can be confident in what they have in certain positions.

The Eagles will likely overhaul things at wide receiver and cornerback, but there are several key positions that will only require minor changes or some subtle additions.

Here are four positions for the Eagles that don’t need much attention during the 2020 offseason.

***
1. Quarterback

Carson Wentz is coming off arguably his best and most complete season as a pro. Wentz started all, 16 regular-season games, became the franchise’s first 4,000-yard passer and led the Eagles to another division title.

Nate Sudfeld didn’t play this season, but he’s still a capable quarterback and will probably be better served to return to the Eagles rather than seeking a starting spot in free agency.

3 things to know about Eagles backup RG Matt Pryor as he sets out to replace Brandon Brooks

Matt Pryor will make the first start of his NFL career on Sunday and it’ll just so happen to be in the playoffs against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Pryor, the second-year guard out of TCU, is starting due to injuries on the right side of the Eagles’ offensive line.

Pro Bowl right guard Brandon Brooks was ruled out for the season in Week 17 against the Giants when he suffered a shoulder injury. Star right tackle Lane Johnson was already out with a high ankle sprain, and he’ll miss Sunday’s game as well.

Standing 6-foot-7 and 332 pounds, Pryor entered the NFL with the reputation that he could play both right guard and right tackle.

With game time upon us, here are 3 things to know about Pryor:

1. Pryor is massive

Drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the sixth round (206th overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft, Pryor is a big, strong, powerful player who can play both spots along the line.

Brandon Brooks will miss the postseason with a dislocated shoulder

[jwplayer UBKpgBby]

The Philadelphia Eagles are in the playoffs after defeating the New York Giants to secure the NFC East division. They’ll make this playoff run without the services of Brandon Brooks, as the All-Pro has been ruled out of the postseason with a dislocated shoulder.

Brooks will have surgery in the near future and make a clean recovery.

With the Eagles being forced to push on without him, here are four takeaways from the news that he’ll be out.

1. Eagles are losing the best in NFL

Brooks will miss the entire postseason and that’s a huge loss for the Eagles who’ll now be without the best right guard and arguably the most consistent linemen in all of football. Per Pro Football Focus, Brooks owns a pass-blocking grade of 85.7 that ranks second among all right guards, while his 91.6 run-blocking grade is higher than any other interior offensive lineman and second in the NFL to only Lane Johnson.
