2024 NFL Draft: Five takeaways from Daniel Jeremiah’s conference call - NFL.com
The division-rival Eagles are always a prime candidate to move. GM Howie Roseman didn’t come to be known as “Trader Howie” by being a wallflower, and after an offseason of losing some pieces, they might be ready to make a big jump up for the right player — perhaps one of the top two cornerbacks in this class, Alabama’s Terrion Arnold or Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell. “I never sleep on Howie Roseman as a potential (mover) to go north or south,” Jeremiah said. “I always keep an eye on them.

And by the way, during the Eagles’ Super Bowl season, it wasn’t just Nick Foles filling in at an extremely important position. Halapoulivaati Vaitai was the starting LT in place of Jason Peters, and he had an outstanding performance in the NFC Championship Game against Everson Griffen, who had 13 sacks for the Vikings that season. If Johnson and Jordan Mailata somehow both have three durable seasons and they continue to play at a high level, then the drafted player might have a prolonged stay on the bench. Of course, at least the silver lining in that scenario is that, you know, the Eagles will have three more seasons with the best offensive tackle duo in the league still playing at a high level.
