We need everything except a quarter back, a linebacking core, and a long snapper which is simply a miserable realization. The idea that Leonarde Fournette could be on the board is extremely appealing to the Eagles, including high ceiling WR's like Corey Davis or Mike Williams. We, as of now, have the 14th pick in the draft and have to take advantage of the generous spot and get some real taken this year in order to grow.
However, overall the most work that can be done will be done in the free agency market. Although free agent LeVeon Bell is available, there is no way he is going to hit the open market without a tag. Then again, Eddie Lacy is also an available option that is slightly more realistic. But in that case we have to keep him healthy and make sure he stays at weight.
The WR options on the market are going to be huge with the hiring of WR coach Mike Groh. He has coached incredible talent such as Alshon Jeffery and Kenny Stills, which both actually hit the market this year. However, both of them are going to be fetching relatively high prices considering Kenny will certainly be leaving the Dolphins, and if Alshon does come out of Chicago, it will be for the money.
Our line needs some work but the prospects and players in free agency and the draft aren't the best quality and we certainly can wait on both sides of the ball for our lineman.
Overall there will need to be a lot of moves the Eagles need in order to prosper in the 2018 season. The fact with this mediocre team and a rookie quarterback we almost had a .500 season? Which should of been significantly better considering we had the most losses by any team within seven points. Is astounding to me, and as an Eagles fan, we are sure to have high hopes for many years to come.
We will be keeping up with updates throughout the off season including coach moves, releases, signings, and most importantly the draft that is in our home town.
