Deal with this latest Eagles draft scuttlebutt from Joe Giglio of NJ.com:

“Last year, the Eagles were preparing to secure a franchise quarterback in the NFL Draft. Now that Carson Wentz is in tow, it’s all about putting the right offensive pieces around him.”

“In free agency, that meant signing wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith, and inking guard Chance Warmack. Couple that with keeping high-priced left tackle Jason Peters and holding on to (for now) center Jason Kelce, and Philadelphia’s offseason strategy is crystal clear: Put the best players around Wentz.”

“Is improving running back the next quest for the Eagles front office, led by VP of Football Operations Howie Roseman? According to Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller, it is–and a big splash could be coming in the NFL Draft.”

“Finding a deep threat for Carson Wentz was a priority, and the team did that in free agency by signing Torrey Smith. The team then added Alshon Jeffery on a one-year deal. Now, look for the Eagles to be very aggressive in looking at a loaded running back class, according to a coaching staff source.”

While that could simply mean trading up at any point in the draft to land a player that would fit Philadelphia’s system, the word “aggressive” can also imply a first-round move.

“Would the Eagles move up from No. 14 to land a Leonard Fournette out of LSU? Is Dalvin Cook at No. 14 the best bet–despite the team’s need for cornerback help? Would the Eagles consider moving back into the end of the first round for Stanford star Christian McCaffery?”

If the right player to complement Wentz is available, an aggressive Eagles move at running back shouldn’t be ruled out.
