Should the Eagles trade down to accumulate more NFL Draft assets?

The Philadelphia Eagles could explore trading down in Round 1, a strategy that aligns with the organization's history of maximizing draft value. One of the most consistent yearly themes surrounding Philadelphia is the possibility of a trade down at pick No. 23.

Philadelphia has a well-established history of moving back to accumulate additional draft capital, and this year could be no different. With a deep draft class and multiple needs across the roster, the Eagles are in a prime position to maximize value. Eagles GM Howie Roseman is a huge supporter of trading up and down the draft boards, no matter the round or the assets at his disposal.

Roseman, known for never sitting still, has always been an active draft-night trader and will likely make a move or two in rounds 1-3. Roseman has conducted over 60 draft-day trades over the past ten years, not including the 2015 draft when coach Chip Kelly snatched personnel control. There are other times when Roseman will trade back, including giving the Ravens pick No.

32 for Lamar Jackson in 2018. Roseman has repeatedly shown a willingness to let the board come to him rather than forcing a selection. If the Eagles don't see a clear top-tier target at their pick, trading down becomes a logical—and likely—option.
