The Philadelphia Eagles are sitting pretty right now.
Not only are they competing for a playoff spot, but they hold three first-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft with a golden opportunity to evolve their roster from a playoff contender to an NFC contender.
Sitting at 8-7 entering Week 17, the Eagles currently hold the Nos. 19, 20 and 25 selections in the first round — taking them out of the very elite prospects of the draft class, but still an advantageous position to improve significantly.
Their largest areas of need reside on the defensive side of the ball with the safety position and an edge rusher at the very top of the list.
But an opportunity to find another young receiver to slot alongside DeVonta Smith would also be a tremendous get to ensure Jalen Hurts has an ample set of weapons to work with moving forward — should he be the franchise's quarterback of the future.
