Itâs too early to lock in compensatory picks, itâs nice to know the area that they could end up, but they could also be canceled out or more money could be thrown around that drops those guys in the chart.
the team definitely needs to add players. They are down three cornerbacks, all three played significant time so there are a lot of snaps to find. Maybe Ringo is ready, maybe Ricks is ready, or maybe they need to find somebody else. They are also a down two quality pass rushers, and the players that were mentioned as replacements were already in the rotation on some capacity. They need defensive line depth. Thatâs what makes this machine run. They also need to add a middle linebacker to replace Burks and cover for Dean. Even if thatâs Trotter, the team needs to have back ups that can play.
Ideally the Eagles go shopping in the non compensation, free agent list. It is rare to find three immediate starters in the draft let alone five. The fact that the Eagles have hit in the first three rounds for the last four years is a miracle. And even last yearâs third round pick didnât come around until the end of the year.
