The Philadelphia Eagles owneight picks in the 2024 NFL draft, including the No. 22 pick. With locker room leaders Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox retiring this offseason, Philly is in need of some help in the O-line and on defense. They could continue to build around last year's first-round pick: defensive tackleJalen Carter.
The 2024 NFL draft will take place at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit from April 25 through April 27. Round 1 will begin April 25 at 8 p.m. ET, while Rounds 2 and 3 are on April 26 starting at 7 p.m. ET. Rounds 4 through 7 begin at noon ET on April 27. The draft will be broadcast on ESPN, ABC, ESPN+ and the ESPN App. There are 257 total picks in the draft.
Here's the full list of the Eagles' draft picks by round, along with a look at their top roster needs headed into the 2024 season.
Top three needs:CB, OT, LB. The Eagles have to decide whether to bring back veteran corner James Bradberry, who had a rough 2023. Either way, they need a youth infusion. Darius Slay is 33, Bradberry is 30, and the secondary moved a beat too slow last season.
The Eagles need offensive line depth and have to start putting a succession plan in place for stalwart right tackle Lane Johnson. Ideally, they'd find someone who can compete for the vacant right guard spot for this season and kick outside once Johnson retires -- OT feels like a decent bet for Philly's first-round pick. Linebacker was a mess last season, and while the additions of Devin White and Oren Burks provide some hope, they need to continue to invest in the position -- something they've been reluctant to do recently. -- Tim McManus
