Ranking the Eagles' 20 most valuable trade assets

A week ago, Bill Barnwell of ESPN published an article showing how many players on each team are worth at least a first-round pick in a trade. Fun read! He determined that the Philadelphia Eagles have seven players who have that level of value. That got me wondering how many Eagles I would appraise as first-round worthy, and beyond. Here are my top 20 most valuable Eagles, with coaches and front office personnel included.

Everybody loves new Eagles CB Riq Woolen

ESPN survey shows that the Eagles are both loaded and underrated

Over the last couple of weeks, ESPN surveyed "league executives, coaches and scouts" to come up with a list of the top 10 players at each positional group. The Philadelphia Eagles had eight players crack those top 10 lists, which was second in the NFL. Here I thought we'd take a look at the placement of those players, plus others who were "honorable mentions" or those "also receiving votes," and determine where the voters are either correct or misinformed about the Eagles.

Three free agent signings who make sense for the Eagles prior to training camp

Each year before the start of training camp, Howie Roseman tends to sign a veteran player to help bolster the team's depth. Obviously, it's July, so it's not exactly as if there are a bunch of world-beaters available. Recent examples include EDGE Ogbo Okoronkwo (2025), iOL Nick Gates (2024), OT Dennis Kelly (2023), and CB Steven Nelson (2021). So, let's guess on a few guys who makes sense during this absolutely dead period of the offseason, yeah? Cool.

Mailbag: Is the historically great Eagles OL becoming increasingly precarious?

We are deep into the darkest period of the NFL calendar. Hat tip to the World Cup for helping get us through it, even if we no-showed against Belgium. Let's do a mailbag or two to pass the time, shall we? And as always thanks for doing half the work for me.
