Who should the Eagles select in the 2021 NFL Draft? originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
By trading down from No. 6 to No. 12 in the draft last month, the Eagles picked up an extra first-rounder in the 2022 draft. They’ll likely have three first-rounders this time next year.
While the move down to 12 might have taken the Eagles out of the running for a few high-profile draft prospects (looking at you, Ja'Marr Chase and Kyle Pitts), they still have a good shot at drafting a great player on April 29.
The Eagles have a few desperate needs at cornerback and receiver, but it’s also important to remember that the Eagles have traditionally built their teams through the offensive and defensive lines.
