Daily News | Eagles mock draft: Trades can result in selecting Alabama’s Will Anderson and Jahmyr Gibbs
The first night of the NFL draft quickly approaches and the onslaught of smokescreens and speculation has reached its peak.
With the Eagles, he’d join Brandon Graham as a rotational rusher behind Haason Reddick and Josh Sweat and give the team a chance at a cost-controlled difference maker at a premium position for years to come.Another trade with the Raiders that results in an Alabama player. At 5-foot-9, 200 pounds, Gibbs won’t round out the Eagles’ current running back rotation as much as other prospects could, but he’s the most talented offensive player likely to be available at this point in the draft. He has drawn well-deserved comparisons to the Saints’ Alvin Kamara. While he might not have the contact balance Kamara did in his prime, he can bring a similar amount to the passing game while also being a dynamic runner.
Phillips won’t be an ideal fit for every team because of his length, though. He’s 5-9 with 29-inch arms, both of which are worrisome for an outside cornerback in the NFL. Still, the Eagles haven’t been scared away with shorter corners with limited wingspans in the past. Avonte Maddox and Josiah Scott both had similarly concerning measurements at the combine. So did Grayland Arnold, who had a brief stint with the Eagles in 2020.
Enter Saldiveri, who is an athletic offensive tackle prospect with ideal size. He was a three-year starter primarily at right tackle in college but is athletic enough to suggest he could play multiple spots at the next level. At 6-6, 318 pounds, Saldiveri’s biggest flaws consist of technique issues. Sounds like a job for Stoutland.The quarterback factory keeps on churning.
