Philadelphia Eagles draft board: Top 15 prospects for this team
By Smit Bajaj
Here’s a draft big board of the top prospects for the Philadelphia Eagles.
If fans learned one thing this past season, it’s that the Philadelphia Eagles lack young talent. After underwhelming rookie seasons from most of the 2020 draft class, the Birds will have to look towards the 2021 draft in order to add young players to the roster.
Howie Roseman is notorious for passing on some of the best young players in the NFL. Take Justin Jefferson and D.K. Metcalf for an example of this, but the team has the sixth-overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, so he can’t possibly mess it up, right? Don’t be so sure.
The league has already announced that there will be no centralized in-person workouts for the 2021 NFL Scouting Combine. This, combined with the fact that many players opted out of the 2020 College Football season, will make it tough for teams to evaluate the players. For a team that already struggles to evaluate talent, the Eagles are in a tough position entering the 2021 selection meeting.
Without further ado, let’s dive right into ITI’s first draft board. It will list the top 15 prospects for the Eagles and combines team needs with prospect talent to create a comprehensive board that outlines players that the Birds should target.
