Near the end of the Doug Pederson era with the Eagles, Howie Roseman was emphatic that the team was going in a much younger, and faster, direction. That was evident in the way they drafted in 2020 and 2021, but in 2022, they went back to stacking the trenches. It’s no surprise, then, that there are no Eagles named in Daniel Jeremiah’s mid-season list of Top 25 rookies.
The Eagles’ first -ound pick in 2022 was DT Jordan Davis who is having a good year, no question, but also missed some time due to injury and plays a position where the Eagles utilize a heavily rotation.
