A trade up for one of the draft's top talent then seizing on a falling star capped a great night for the Birds, one that had rival fans complaining on social media.
Howie Roseman had a big first round of the NFL Draft by stealing talents Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith.Nobody expected Jalen Carter to be there at 10 for the Birds' first selection. But he was sitting there at 9, so Howie Roseman got on the phone, and traded a 2024 4th-round pick to Chicago to jump over them and get the guy many consider the top player in the draft.
A 6-foot-3, 314-pound defensive tackle, he makes perfect sense given JaVon Hargrave moved on and Fletcher Cox is getting up there in age.Cowboys' linebacker Micah Parsons was doing a draft show when the pick was announced and he said it made him sick to his stomach.So why did eight other teams pass on him?Back in January, Carter was at the scene of a crash that killed two people, including a teammate.
He ended up pleading no contest to a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving, and was sentenced to a year of probation.It was a risk the Eagles were not only willing to take, but able to take given their already deep roster. Things only got sweeter when pass rusher Nolan Smith was sitting there with the Eagles back on the clock at 30.
The past two seasons, Georgia's defense has been beyond dominant in winning back-to-back National Championships.The Eagles now have arguably the four best members of those squads in Davis, Carter, Smith and Nakobe Dean.Copyright © 2023 WPVI-TV. All Rights Reserved.
