The NFL draft is in 10 nights in Kansas City, and the Eagles have the No. 10 and No. 30 picks in the first round.
USA Today thinks the Birds will benefit from Jalen Carter’s driving issues to take him at 10:
Amid uncertainty about how teams view Carter after he pleaded no contest to charges of racing and reckless driving in connection with a fatal car crash in January, agent Drew Rosenhaus declined to have the Georgia standout visit with teams outside the top 10.
Even if Carter does tumble slightly on draft day, Philadelphia makes for a sensible floor.
The Eagles demonstrated their interest in Bulldog defenders last year with first-round defensive tackle Jordan Davis and third-round linebacker Nakobe Dean – who could help the front office fill out its picture of Carter – and defensive tackle is one of the few areas where the Eagles are due for an immediate upgrade.
