26. Buccaneers

30. Ravens

32. Chiefs
The Eagles will have plenty of good options with that No. 22 pick if they decide to stay there, which is obviously a big “if’ given Howie Roseman’s draft history.
But here’s the latest stroll around the internet to see some of their options:
Trevor Sikkema, PFF
22. Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama
What they said: The Eagles must address cornerback. Howie Roseman loves his SEC players, and McKinstry is the ideal fit as a player with the ability to play press-man coverage at any time.
My take on the pick: It’s very funny that people think Roseman loves SEC players now after years of Eagles fans clamoring for him to draft more players from big-time programs. Anyway, if you watch the way they handle free agency, the Eagles seem to value the cornerback position but haven’t taken one in the first round since 2002. That was the Lito Sheppard pick. But there’s definitely a case to be made for going that direction this year with aging starters and a roster that wants to compete. We’ve seen rookie corners play well in recent seasons. McKinstry (6-1, 195) has been on the radar for several years, even cracking the Alabama starting lineup as a freshman in 2021. He has a ton of experience in the last three years and is a physical player who should be a first-round pick.

What they said: I told you earlier my model has a crush on Fuaga. Well, it might be smitten with JPJ, too….
