2024 NFL mock draft with all trades: Deals for 32 first-round picks - ESPN+
Seahawks get: 1-22, 2-53 ... Eagles get: 1-16, 3-81. GM Howie Roseman lives to move up a couple picks in Round 1 and beat another team to the player he wants. By those standards, jumping six picks is a more significant leap, but the Eagles are being run a little differently in 2024 than they were in years past. Roseman has to seriously think about what’s going to happen at cornerback...

Philadelphia Eagles fans went through an emotional roller coaster after recent social media activity by A.J. Brown.

Brown changed his profile picture to Tom Brady, a move that caused fans to spiral.

Some believed that Brown was using this photo to indicate that he was going to the New England Patriots, while others thought, maybe, that Brown was going to join Brady on a new team, given his recent comments about unretiring.

While this situation incited confusion, Brown made sure to clear the air with a now-deleted tweet, which JPA Football shared.

Brown wrote a paragraph indicating that he had...

Background

The Cowboys ended last season getting spanked by the Packers in the Wild Card round. This was the Boys’ 28th consecutive season failing to advance to the NFC Championship game. Owner Jerry Jones then promised fans they were “all in” on 2024. Reality, however, tells a different story.

Free agency was a bit underwhelming. They signed LB Eric Kendricks to replace the oft-injured Leighton Vander Esch. But they lost DE Dorance Armstrong, DT...

A week from now we’ll be reacting to what the Eagles do in the 2024 NFL Draft. Overreacting, probably, but that’s our right as fans.

This week, we’ll be asking questions. Scroll down and ask away in the comment section below.

But first, my question to you. Which of these options do you prefer:

The Philadelphia Eagles’ 2023 NFL season ended a lot sooner than they anticipated heading into the year.

They lost their Wild Card matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, causing the team to go back to the drawing board ahead of the 2024 season.

While the Eagles will return several of their marquee players from the past several seasons, they did lose a few key individuals, including Jason Kelce, who recently retired.

Kelce was one of the best centers in the NFL for this team, so his presence will certainly be missed, both on and off the field.

Cam Jurgens will...

Cornerback is the deepest positional group among defenders in this draft class. Six of the top 10 cornerbacks in this class could go in the first round, and the top 15 should all be drafted in the first three rounds. For a cornerback needy team like the Eagles, there are lots of players to be had with their first three picks.

1. Quinyon Mitchell, Toledo

What he does well: Quinyon Mitchell was one of the stingiest cornerbacks in the country over the last two seasons. He has great athleticism and instincts that allow him to close on the football...

Chaos Theory

Expect the unexpected. Thousands of mocks are run every spring; compiling evaluations of the very best college players based off their on-field performance, combine testing, and team visits (just to name a few factors), eventually forming a rough level of consensus as the NFL Draft approaches. By Night 1 the world has decided what is expected, and therefore what is deemed acceptable. And yet, seemingly every year to our collective shock some...

The former Eagles center could not be more excited for DeVonta Smith’s new contract.

A lot of people are celebrating DeVonta Smith’s new contract with the Eagles, including former teammate Jason Kelce.

Kelce and his brother, Travis, spoke about Smitty’s contract extension on their latest episode of New Heights, and Jason could not have been more excited for someone he called an outstanding young man.

Travis asked if Smith was an underrated part of the Eagles offense, and Jason was quick to explain that while he might get overlooked by outsiders, “he’s definitely not underrated by anyone on the team.”...

Jalen Hurts just donated $200k worth of air conditioning to 10 Philadelphia schools via Kristin Hunt at PhillyVoice:

Jalen Hurts will fund air conditioning at 10 city schools, the School District of Philadelphia announced Thursday.

The Eagles quarterback is donating $200,000 to the district to purchase AC units for schools without adequate cooling. The district said the funds would “improve the learning environment and comfort for students and staff.” Superintendent Tony B. Watlington and Hurts will officially announce the gift in a conference at one of the selected schools on Friday morning.

Shout out to Jalen. He’s...

AJ Brown changed his profile picture to Tom Brady and as is the case when AJ Brown does anything on social media the sports world loses it’s collective mind:

TB12 is my favorite player ever.
I watch the dynasty and it brought back some memories from my childhood.
Go look up what he did in 2015 when he was doubted/ disrespected.
Yeah I see the disrespect.
Motivated … yes. That’s it
I Did not think changing my pfp to the greatest…

It’s draft season! I’ve been busy watching a bunch of these prospects, so in the lead-up to the 2024 NFL Daft, I’ll be releasing my rankings. Before you read ahead, please keep in mind the following!

1. I have ranked these players based on the Eagles’ needs and scheme fits. Therefore, the round grade I have given considers that. For example, I may have had a 2nd round grade on a player like Trey Benson if the Eagles badly needed a running back, but I have pushed him down the board after the signing of Barkley.
2. Please focus more...

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...
