The Eagles are moving up one spot. According to ESPN’s Field Yates (on Twitter), Philly has acquired pick No. 9 from the Bears. In exchange, Chicago has acquired pick No. 10 and a 2024 fourth-round pick. With their pick, the Eagles have selected Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter. 
Carter entered the offseason as a probable top-three pick and potential No. 1 pick. He was subsequently hit with two misdemeanor chargers stemming from a fatal car accident that killed Georgia offensive lineman Devin Willock and recruiting analyst Chandler LeCroy. Carter, who was driving a separate vehicle on that January night, was charged with misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and racing. He avoided jail time via a plea agreement.
Later, Carter’s pro day left scouts less than impressed. The 6-foot-3, 314-pounder reportedly put on weight leading up to Georgia’s pro day and displayed a “less than stellar” performance. Carolina’s trade for the first overall pick ended Carter’s hopes of going No. 1, but it remained to be seen how far down the board he would actually fall.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus ensured Carter only took pre-draft visits with teams set to pick in the top 10, a sign of their view his stock wouldn’t take a considerable hit. Many analysts connected him to Seattle (which picked fifth), but the Seahawks were reportedly torn on assuming the risk associated with such a premium selection. Their decision to go with cornerback Devon Witherspoon allowed the Eagles to move up and acquire Carter.
Carter was a consensus All-American in 2022, once again playing a key role in a Bulldogs national championship. His performance the year before led many to believe he was the most talented member of the team’s vaunted defense (a unit which saw five of its players selected in the first round last year). He followed up on those expectations with three sacks and seven tackles for loss last year.
The Eagles were among the teams to invest in Georgia defenders on Day 1 last draft, adding fellow DT Jordan Davis. He and Carter will now be reunited on a team which won the NFC in 2022 in no small part due to the strength of their front seven. Off-the-field questions will justifiably surround him, but Carter could prove to be an impact player for years to come in Philadelphia.
Sounds like a classless guy for a classless team. A perfect fit.
Sounds like a classless comment
Why? I didn’t kill anybody like he did.
He did? Was he driving their car?
probably. go birds
Marx you a cowboys fan?
No, I live in Philly.
Please move, we don’t need you.
Eagles have the opposite reputation. But your axe must be dull, so go ahead and grind it.
Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis going to be a phenomenal interior defence for the next decade.
Love the Georgia connection especially with NaKobe Dean too
Fly eagles Fly
No bigger risk in this draft.
So now you just run and pass to the perimeter against this defense. No great pick. OT would have been way better and necessary. Don’t pass up the chance to draft a franchise OT when yours is in his mid thirties and you’re drafting top 10, and they did.
Who are you referring to? The only potential franchise OT went #6. So explain how they are taking Paris Johnson Jr at #9 when he was already gone.
you know they are all GM’s on here, right??
Bonus pick for a super bowl team turns into the best player in the draft. Perfect place for this kid to go. Veteran leaders,class organization. Howie strikes again.
Whack job and a future bust
Detroit, Atlanta and Las Vegas’GMs all fell into a temporary Stupor. The Eagles just fell into the best non QB in the draft, without even trying.
