Daily News | Scouting report: How does the Eagles’ 2023 NFL draft class stack up collectively?
STEVEN M. FALK / Staff PhotographerThe Eagles entered the 2023 NFL draft with just six draft selections, with questions surrounding the future of their defensive line, safety position and the interior of their offensive line, specifically the right guard spot.
After several trades, from moving up to get Jalen Carter, to several trade backups to have back-to-back picks in the third round and everything in between, the Eagles ended up making seven draft selections overall. Who will emerge from this group to be a difference maker as a rookie? Are there any players who could become starters in the future?
We explore those questions and more, breaking down what each player brings, what they must improve on and their projections for the Eagles over the course of their time in Philadelphia.Carter has a dominant skill set with the blend of quick twitch athleticism and power to leave offensive linemen in the dust at the point of attack with an explosive first step.
. While Brown has the straight-line speed to run stride for stride with receivers and tight ends, he wasn’t asked to play the “post” safety role much, but he looks much more playing near the box and defending between the numbers.With a physical tone setting mindset, Brown projects as a low-hole safety who thrives attacking downhill and playing with physicality in coverage. Because of that, Brown can be a candidate to cover tight ends, while being an extra number in the box to stop the run.
