The Philadelphia Eagles really feel like a crew that might load up on defensive expertise after the upcoming season.
Maybe the most important splash in that regard to help coordinator Vic Fangio’s protection will come within the 2025 draft. Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski simply offered an instance of what this would possibly appear to be by having the Eagles choose Penn State pass-rusher Abdul Carter at No. 20 total.
“The Eagles need to come at opposing quarterbacks in waves,” Sobleski wrote. “As of subsequent offseason, Brandon Graham will probably be retired, whereas Josh Sweat and Zack Baun will probably be free brokers.”
During the last two years, Carter has tallied 11 sacks and 9 passes defended with 16 tackles for loss. Add in some positional versatility and it’s straightforward to see why a thoughts like Fangio wish to have one other chess piece for the unit.
On paper, Carter might tandem with Nolan Smith Jr. and Bryce Huff (10 sacks with the Jets final season) to provide the Eagles a deep, versatile rotation that may trigger issues for offenses.
