Overview
- ESPN’s Bill Barnwell urged Tuesday that Philadelphia move up from No. 23 to target an offensive tackle or wide receiver before other teams can block preferred choices.
- Barnwell pointed to the Panthers at No. 19, Cowboys at No. 20, and Steelers at No. 21 as likely tackle buyers, with the Browns, Bears, Bills, and 49ers lurking behind and poised to jump for a receiver.
- The Eagles have added flexibility with their own first- and second-rounders, picks 68 and 98 in the third round, and two fourth-round selections that could be packaged to trade up.
- General manager Howie Roseman told reporters he thinks about his first-round misses every day and said those mistakes now make him more skeptical when evaluating similar prospects.
- Roseman declined to reveal fifth-year option decisions for 2023 first-rounders Nolan Smith and Jalen Carter ahead of the May 1 deadline, keeping a key contract call in house as draft week nears.
