2022 NFL Draft – Day 3 Preview

The first two days are in the books. There is plenty of talent left on Day 3, but the Eagles only have a pair of picks (as of now). Let’s look at what they’ve done and what they could do today.

The picks:

1 – 13 – DT Jordan Davis
1 – 18 – traded for WR A.J. Brown
2 – 51 – C Cam Jurgens
3 – 83 – LB Nakobe Dean
5 – 154
7 – 237

Needs:

S
CB
DE
TE
RB

Late round picks aren’t the kind of guys you count on to compete for starting roles so don’t count on the Eagles to use the picks to address the secondary. They need depth at TE and RB so the picks might make better sense there.

Howie Roseman stressed last night that the Eagles will need to be very aggressive with undrafted players. They will need to land key UDFAs.

There is also the possibility of the Eagles drafting a punter, with a few good ones available.

Please draft a couple of these players

TE Luke Ruckert – Ohio State
OL Matt Waletzko – North Dakota

Please avoid these players

LB Brian Asamoah – Oklahoma – Talented player, but an awkward tackler. That’s not something I want at LB.
CB Tariq Woolen – UTSA – Great size-speed prospect. Huge potential. But raw as a corner and not very instinctive.
RB Kyren Williams – Notre Dame – Loved him as a college player, but undersized and lacks ideal speed. Not a great fit for the Eagles.
