Are the Eagles breaking new ground with all their Georgia draft picks? Is there a precident or a path that's being followed? NFLDraft | FlyEaglesFly
, and D’Andre Swift, adding on to their Bulldog-themed haul of last year’s draft when they walked out of Vegas with Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean. Six Georgia players in total, five of whom started on the legendary defense that carried the Bulldogs to back-to-back national titles in 2021 and 2022. The Eagles are a good biology program and a couple of frat houses away from being a satellite grad school for Georgia.
It’s a good parallel to track given that Payne, Anderson, and Allen were all taken with Washington’s three best picks from that two-year stretch. Plus, drafting every player from Alabama has a certain, “duh, why wouldn’t you do that?” feeling to it, similar to how people have reacted to Philadelphia’s Georgia turn.
The 2002 Florida Gators team was a perfectly fine 8-5 squad, but nothing to write home about. Yet, the Bears selectedplayers off that team in the subsequent draft, picking up Todd Johnson, Ian Scott, Tron LaFavor, and the legend himself, Rex Grossman. It’s a bit different given that Johnson, Scott, and LaFavor were all fourth and fifth-round picks, and none of them went on to produce at a significant level in the NFL.
Roseman and the front office already used 2022’s draft capital to acquire A.J. Brown to give Hurts the dominant No. 1 wide receiver that he so clearly needed after his first season as a starter. From there, they just waited at their draft slots until the Georgia defenders fell to them. The Eagles might have had bigger needs than adding to their already stacked defensive line, but saying that the Eagles “need” anything at any one position is already a stretch.
