2021 NFL Team Draft Page

There is a huge debate amongst Eagle fans as to who to spend their tasty Top-10 pick on this year. Should they grab Ja'Marr Chase or Devonta Smith? Should they take a QB such as Justin Fields, Trey Lance, or even the surging Mac Jones at six? Should they trade up for Zach Wilson, or hope they can trade back for picks? How about x-factor Kyle Pitts, who could be both a receiving tight end AND a featured X-receiver?


Probably the least-talked-about prospect for Philly is 'Bama WR Jaylen Waddle. Waddle doesn't get the hype of Chase or Smith; however, in four games prior to breaking his ankle against Tennessee, Waddle was averaging 6.25 REC, 140 YDS, and 1 TD per game. Waddle has game-breaking speed, is a savvy route-runner, blocks, and is a game-changing kick/punt returner.

The Eagles currently have three solid D-Ends; however, the clock is ticking for Brandon Graham, and Derek Barnett may hit Free Agency after this year. Philly likes to maintain a stable of four edge rushers, so Defensive End is an underrated need in this draft.

DE Jaelan Phillips had an injury-riddled past at UCLA, even causing him to consider leaving football for good...not for a lack of passion, but preservation. In 2020, Phillips put it all together: 45 tackles, 8 sacks, 1 INT. He's a good run-defender, has long arms which he uses to his advantage, a polished swim-move, and great agility.
