EDTShareTweetShareShareHere’s what anonymous executives had to say about the Eagles’ 2019 NFL Draft picksKirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsOne of my favorite post-NFL Draft activities is looking at what actual NFL executives think of the players the Philadelphia Eagles selected.This post features quotes from various football personnel people by way of ESPN In$ider’s Mike Sando, The Athletic’s Sheil Kapadia, Bob McGinn’s annual draft series, and NFL.com’s draft profiles written by Lance Zierlein.Without further ado, let’s take a look at what league insiders had to say about the Eagles’ five picks from the 2019 NFL Draft.ANDRE DILLARDA number of NFL scouts believe Dillard wasn’t just the best tackle in this year’s class; they had him as their top overall offensive lineman. Via McGinn’s rankings:Here’s what an executive told ESPN about Dillard:The note about Dillard being “a year away” isn’t a huge concern for the Eagles since Dillard can theoretically sit behind Jason Peters for a year. Dillard should greatly benefit from the tutelage of Peters and offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland.MILES SANDERSSanders was the second running back selected in this year’s draft. The scouts McGinn talked to collectively ranked him fourth best:Kapadia shared this quote from an executive outside the NFC East:From Zierlein:From ESPN: I’d like to think I see both sides of the Sanders coin. On one side, it seems like there’s untapped potential for the Eagles to work with. On the other, you wonder if he’ll actually reach that ceiling. I’m excited to see Sanders play for this team. But the concerns expressed here hold me back from feeling like this pick was some kind of home run selection.JJ ARCEGA-WHITESIDEJJAW was the sixth wide receiver selected in this year’s draft. The scouts McGinn talked to collectively ranked him 11th best:From Zierlein:From ESPN: On the note that JJAW might be faster than people think Womens Chance Warmack Jersey , BGN’s Michael Kist recently said: “Not only did he a run a 4.49 at his pro day, but I’ve been told at least two scouts there had him timed at 4.38 and 4.39 respectively.” I wonder how much JJAW’s ability to separate really matters when he’s so dominant at the catch point. The Eagles clearly believe that skill can translate to the NFL. We’ll see if they’re right.SHAREEF MILLERFrom The Athletic:From Zierlein:I don’t think the Eagles will be counting on Miller to make a huge immediate impact. Brandon Graham, Derek Barnett, and Vinny Curry will all be ahead of him on the depth chart. Assuming Chris Long retires, Miller’s realistic best case scenario is that he becomes the fourth defensive end. CLAYTON THORSONFrom McGinn:Well, the Eagles were the team that bit.Maybe the excuses made for Thorson are legitimate. But SB Nation’s study shows that college quarterbacks with such poor stats rarely ever improve at the NFL level. The Eagles are betting on the exception with Thorson. UNDRAFTED FREE AGENTSHere some quotes on two of the Eagles’ free agent signings, via Zierlein:T.J. EDWARDSIs that you Nick Foles Jersey , Ken Flajole? Edwards will push for a roster spot. He seems like a practice squad candidate at the very least. NATE HERBIGHerbig is one of three notable undrafted free agent guards the Eagles signed. The team is clearly looking to boost their interior offensive line depth. Herbig could be a practice squad candidate if he needs more time to develop. HASSAN RIDGEWAYThe Eagles traded pick No. 246 to the Colts in exchange for fourth-year defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway. ESPN had a good note on that:Defensive tackle depth was a big issue for the the Eagles last year. They’re looking a lot better at that spot this year with Fletcher Cox, Malik Jackson, Jernigan, Ridgeway, and Treyvon Hester potentially making the team. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired running back Jordan Howard from the Chicago Bears for a conditional sixth-round pick in next year’s NFL draft.Howard bolsters an Eagles backfield that includes Josh Adams, who led the team in rushing with 511 yards last season, Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement.The draft pick could become a fifth-rounder based on conditions of the trade that was completed Thursday night.The 24-year-old Howard ran for 935 yards last year http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-deandre-carter-jersey , his lowest total in three NFL seasons. But he also tied a career high with nine touchdown runs.A fifth-round draft pick out of Indiana in 2016, Howard has 13 100-yard rushing games in his career, tied for the third-most in the NFL in that span. He made the Pro Bowl in his first season when he set a Bears rookie record with 1,313 yards rushing.Howard has rushed for 3,370 yards and 24 touchdowns in his career, and has 72 catches for 568 yards and a TD.
