We begin with the Bulldogs.

The Georgia Bulldogs sit as the fourth-ranked team in the College Football Playoff rankings. A win could shake everything up. Here are a few of their standouts, outside of quarterback Jake Fromm. The Eagles definitely aren’t taking him.

1. D’Andre Swift, running back

We’ve all seen the way the running back position has been devalued in the current structure of the NFL. We also know how much Eagles fans have been clamoring for someone who could chew up the clock and take the pressure off of Wentz.

By the time April rolls around, D’Andre Swift will probably be the top running back on everyone’s draft board. If the Eagles move on from Jordan Howard due to being fearful of his durability, Swift is a nice option. Could he fall to the middle of the first round if Philly’s thinking about taking a running back early?

2. Solomon Kindley, guard

Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas is going to be a top-ten pick, and the Eagles just paid Lane Johnson and drafted Andre Dillard, so you can rule out Solomon Kindley. Though taking a cornerback in the first round makes the most sense for the Eagles, they could also benefit from bolstering their offensive line’s interior.

Enter Solomon Kindley, a six-foot-four, 335-pound guard who may be available at the end of the first round or somewhere in the second. He could see a lot of interest come April.
