The Eagles got Georgia DT Jalen Carter by moving a 2024 fourth-round pick to go up one spot. Chicago still has its OL sitting there at 10, too.

[9:10 PM]: For all those who wanted the Eagles to take Bijan Robinson with their first pick of the night, I’m sorry to tell you, it isn’t going to happen. The Falcons picked the running back at No. 8, so Howie Roseman won’t get the chance at No. 10 — let’s be honest, he was never going to do it, anyway.
Now there’s only one pick — the Bears at No. 9 — between the Eagles and Jalen Carter... or Nolan Smith... or...
[9:03 PM]: Well, the Eagles didn’t end up trading to No. 7, and the Raiders went withTexas Tech DE Tyree Wilson.
[8:58 PM]: Or, maybe not! The Cardinals traded up to No. 6 to grab OT Paris Johnson out of Ohio State — the second Buckeye drafted tonight!
[8:54 PM]: Rumors early were that the Eagles would try and trade up to No. 7, but Gannon and Co. in Arizona could spoil whatever Philly was planning by jumping them to No. 6 in a deal with the Lions.
It's No. 6 for 12 and 34. https://t.co/SbsOeFVNv4

[8:52 PM]: The Seahawks went with a cornerback at No. 5, drafting Devon Witherspoon out of Illinois.
[8:43 PM]: Former Eagles OC Shane Steichen, and current Colts head coach, has his new quarterback, with Indianapolis taking Anthony Richardson at No. 4 overall.
[8:35 PM]: Not sure how I feel about a world where the Texans are making smart decisions, but that’s where we are right now. The team jumped up to No. 3 to nab linebacker Will Anderson out of Alabama.
The Texans send the 12th and 33rd picks, and 2024 first and third-round picks to Arizona for the 3rd and 105th picks this year..

[8:33 PM]: The Houston Texans didn’t overthink things at No. 2 and picked QB C.J. Stroud out of Ohio State. The team turned around and made a trade with the Arizona Cardinals to also pick at No. 3 — a pick they only need seconds to make before submitting the card.
[8:22 PM]: The pick is in! (Finally) And Bryce Young becomes the first player from Alabama ever drafted at No. 1.
[8:11 PM]: LET’S GOOOOOO! The Carolina Panthers — Frank Reich’s new team — are officially on the clock!
[8:05 PM]: The Commissioner hasn’t even taken the stage yet, and it was reported that the Eagles and Cardinals swapped third round picks thanks to a tampering investigation regarding the Jonathan Gannon hire. Eagles move up from No. 94 to No. 66 overall.
