Draft, Eagles, draft.
The Eagles' roster was highly touted in 2022, and everything came together in a near-perfect way. Philadelphia made it all the way to Super Bowl 57, representing the NFC, but collapsed in the second half to give Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs their second ring in four years.
While Philadelphia was able to retain some key pieces this offseason, it also has some work to do on the defensive side of the ball. After an up-and-down defensive year underneath Jonathan Gannon, the DC departed for Arizona, while some key cogs of the defense left, as well.
Eagles GM Howie Roseman has navigated the draft extremely well in his career, and he has a chance to do some real damage to shore up some vacancies come late April. With four top-100 selections which include two first-round picks, expect the Eagles to get a small facelift to help keep their Super Bowl window jutted open.

Eagles NFL Draft needs
- Safety: C.J. Gardner-Johnson's presence was felt in his only year in an Eagles uniform, and his absence will be felt now that he's with the Lions. The Eagles will likely look to replace CJGJ with a ball-hawking safety to replace his six interceptions.
- Defensive line: Javon Harvgrave signed a big-money deal with the 49ers this offseason and Fletcher Cox is in the twilight of his career and on a one-year deal. The Eagles will hope Jordan Davis develops, but they'll need to beef up the middle of the defensive line and add some depth to the edge, too.
- Linebacker: T.J. Edwards made his way to the Windy City, and while Nakobe Dean is set for a bigger snap share, the Eagles would be wise to shore up the second level of their defense come the draft.
