A certain philosophy exists in the NFL by a seemingly growing number of teams that believes loading up on the skill positions is a must in the NFL Draft, and you “figure out the rest later.” No matter how strong the group is on the team, you continue the investment if the value matches up correctly.
Take the Philadelphia Eagles as an example. Their continued affinity for stacking up the defensive line has given them a borderline unfair crop of talent heading into the 2023 NFL season. Despite the Eagles’ strength on the defensive line, they made two high-priority draft selections on their front with the additions of Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith.
