The 2019 NFL Draft order is nearly finalized now that the Divisional Round of the playoffs is over and only four teams remain alive. Unfortunately for the Eagles, they are not one of those teams since they’ve been eliminated.
The good news for Philadelphia is they have reason to be excited about the offseason. The Eagles own at least nine selections in the 2019 NFL Draft, including the No. 25 overall pick in the first round.
For a frame of reference, here’s a look at the No. 25 overall pick in the last 10 drafts:
2018 - TE Hayden Hurst
2017 - S Jabrill Peppers
2016 - CB Artie Burns
2015 - LB Shaq Thompson
2014 - CB Jason Verrett
2013 - CB Xavier Rhodes
2012 - LB Dont’a Hightower
2011 - OT James Carpenter
2010 - QB Tim Tebow
2009 - CB Vontae Davis
Interesting collection of names there. In any case, the Eagles should have an opportunity to add a talented, young prospect to their roster on Day 1.
The Eagles are projected to have at least eight combined picks on Day 2 and Day 3. The Eagles have an extra second-rounder from the Ravens after trading out of No. 32 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. The Eagles don’t have their third-round selection after trading it to the Lions for Golden Tate.
The Eagles are projected to receive three compensatory picks, according to Over The Cap. These projected picks won’t be officially confirmed until mid-to-late February but OTC’s projections are very accurate.
It’s unclear if the Eagles have a pick in the seventh round this year because they traded a conditional selection to the Bears in exchange for Deiondre’ Hall. The exact condition for that trade is unclear. For now, I’m assuming the Eagles won’t have it, but we’ll see.
The Eagles can potentially add even more draft capital by trading some players for picks this offseason. It’s been rumored that the Eagles plan to trade Nick Foles.
1 - Eagles’ own pick
2 - Acquired from the Baltimore Ravens
2 - Eagles’ own pick
4 - Eagles’ own pick
4 - Projected compensatory pick (Trey Burton)
5 - Eagles’ own pick
6 - Eagles’ own pick
