The Philadelphia Eagles will begin the night with the No. 23 overall pick, but it wouldn’t be surprising for Howie Roseman to make a move, even trading up to earlier in the round to get their guy — perhaps an offensive tackle that can double as Lane Johnson’s heir apparent. The team has eight total picks through the first six rounds, so there’s plenty of opportunity to make some moves.
Let’s have some fun!
[Stay tuned to Bleeding Green Nation for the latest updates regarding Eagles moves and others made around the league.]

8:23 PM: Welp, the Cardinals went with a running back! Arizona selected Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love at No. 3. Love is now the highest RB drafted since Saquon Barkley in 2018, and will make the most guaranteed money of any RB in NFL history with his $50.5 million fully-guaranteed rookie contract.
8:19 PM: There were several reports that the Cardinals No. 3 overall pick was among trade discussions earlier in the day, but if they don’t give the pick away, Arizona could go with a QB here.
8:18 PM: The Jets were on the clock at No. 2 overall and used over five minutes to pick Texas Tech DE David Bailey.
8:12 PM: The Raiders took nearly five of their allotted eight minutes to make a pick everyone knew was coming: Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza is headed to Las Vegas!
