In a new Eagles mailbag, answering questions about Bijan Robinson, Trey Sermon and more.
There’s also a stronger case to make for the Eagles’ drafting a running back in the first round this year because they have an extremely talented roster that’s coming off a Super Bowl appearance and if they’re a running back away from running back an even more elite offense, then it’s intriguing. With the losses on defense from the 2022 team, it’s more likely the offense will need to carry the team more this coming season. And Robinson has the potential to be a real star in the NFL.
But … I still don’t think it happens. I’ll finally answer your question and give it a 7.5% chance, which sounds scientific but absolutely isn’t. Ultimately, I think the Eagles’ first pick is going to a more premium position and it’s never a bad idea to bet on them going to the trenches. It’s just a little tough to figure out how the pieces in that running back room fit together because of the unknowns. The top three backs in the rotation right now are Rashaad Penny, Kenny Gainwell and Boston Scott. The biggest question is about Penny’s health and it’s just impossible to see the future. Penny is an extremely talented player and has been productive in his NFL career but just hasn’t stayed healthy. Maybe it’s foolish to expect him to come to Philly and stay on the field.
All that said, I can’t wait to watch Sermon in training camp. He arrived just before the season in 2022 so we haven’t really gotten an extended look at him yet.Trying to figure out what Howie Roseman is going to do on draft day is never easy. What I can tell you is that I’d be surprised if he simply stays put at 10 and 30 and drafts players. That’s not the way he operates. To Roseman, the draft isn’t about taking the best players, it’s about taking the best players at the best value.
