Can you smell a trade or two coming with the Philadelphia Eagles?

If you are paying close attention to all of the coverage this year’s NFL draft is receiving (pun intended) with regards to the depth of talent it projects, and then you apply that knowledge to the amount of draft picks the Eagles currently have, you may arrive at the same conclusion that I have – that the Eagles will look to make a trade or two in order to acquire more selections.

The Birds do not have a sixth round selection this year. It says here that players such as RB Bryce Brown, DE Vinny Curry and perhaps even DE Brandon Graham, who appear to not “fit”  schematically what that particular side of the ball is attempting to implement, may become available closer to the draft or during the actual draft. I look forward to the Eagles trying to obtain picks for these players or others whom they believe to be more valuable to other teams which use systems more appropriate for their specific skill sets.

Can you smell it now? The smell of an additional fourth or fifth or a sixth round draft choice coming our way? I do…and we could  certainly utilize such picks in a year which portends depth in talent. We all know we need more talent on our end.
