The NFL Draft is quickly approaching, so I am taking a look at every team’s main targets. Let us know in the comments who you think each team should be targeting and what you think of our picks. Here are the main targets for the Philadelphia Eagles:
1. Nick Emmanwori, Safety, South Carolina
If he can fall all the way to pick 32, it would fill an immediate need at safety.
2. Donovan Ezeiruaku, Edge, Boston College
The production from Josh Sweat needs to be replaced, and Ezeiruaku can do that as a pure pass rusher. He would fit very nicely in the Eagles defense, he just has to fall to the end of round 1.
3. Gray Zabel, Offensive Line, North Dakota State
A versatile player who could serve as a contingency plan if there were any injuries along that great offensive line.
4. Marcus Mbow, Tackle, Purdue
Lane Johnson isn’t going to play forever. Mbow is a prototype athlete who would be a great “draft and stash” development project. The Eagles offensive line has been one of the best for years, so having another talented young player in the organization would be good.
5. Jack Kiser, Linebacker, Notre Dame
Could serve as a utility backup and special teamer. In an organization that prides itself on culture, he’d be a great fit. Sometimes the right fit matters more than the overall talent.
