The last two Super Bowl winners
Brian Dawkins Jerseys 2019 , the Eagles and Patriots, appear set to get the best compensatory pick value in the 2020 NFL draft.The Eagles are likely to get a
third-round compensatory pick for losing Nick Foles, and two fourth-rounders for
losing Golden Tate and Jordan Hicks. The Patriots are expected to get
third-round picks for Trey Flowers and Trent Brown, plus a sixth-round pick for
Malcom Brown.Originally, compensatory picks were intended to maintain parity in
the NFL, giving additional picks to compensate teams that lost high-priced free
agents to other teams
Youth Brian Westbrook Jerseys , so that small-market teams wouldn’t fall behind big-market teams that could out-bid them for players.But in the years since the
NFL started awarding compensatory picks, they’ve actually helped the best teams
stay on top. That’s because the NFL, with its salary cap and revenue sharing,
doesn’t have the same issues with big-market teams out-bidding small-market
teams that have been problems in other sports leagues. So compensatory picks
don’t go to the have-nots as compensation for losing key players to the
haves.Instead, compensatory picks go to smart teams that plan wisely. Teams like
the Eagles and Patriots. The Eagles added a lot of offensive talent in the first
two rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Eagles

Day 2New,165commentsThe Eagles added a lot of offensive talent in the first two
rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft.EDTShareTweetShareShareEagles explain why they
drafted Miles Sanders and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside on Day 2The Eagles didn’t end up
participating in the trade-fest that was Round 2 of the 2019 NFL
Draft
Youth Herman Edwards Jerseys , but they didn’t need to, getting Miles Sanders at No. 53 and JJ Arcega-Whiteside at No. 57. Howie Roseman, Joe Douglas, and Doug
Pederson (who was ALL smiles) spoke to the media as Round 3 was underway about
their excitement to get some offensive weapons.Howie opened by saying that they
were really excited that Miles Sanders and JJ Arcega-Whiteside ended up falling
to them, and they were able to get guys they had really high grades on.Miles
Sanders was a favorite of the coaching staff and front office. He was “that
guy.” They noted Sanders has great lateral quickness and, after spending time
behind Saquon Barkley
Wes Hopkins Jerseys Stitched , was able to make his one year as a starter really count. Howie said that several personnel members have tracked Sanders since high
school, so despite him not having much time as a starter, they feel comfortable
that they know he’s a quality pick.Douglas did acknowledge that they addressed
some of Sanders’ fumble and ball security issues last season when he came to
visit to Philly, but they were similar concerns that the team had with Brian
Westbrook and even LeSean McCoy, and those guys worked out okay. Plus, they’ve
got a great RB coach in Duce Staley and he’s super excited about the pick.Howie
talked about how Sanders is a guy who can play all three downs
Youth Seth Joyner Jerseys , and Jordan Howard is a guy who has better hands than maybe has been advertised, so they’ve got different skills and will all
contribute to give Pederson a lot of options in playcalling.The GM said they
were joking early in the day that they were hoping that Miles would end up
falling to them at No. 53, and they ended up being patient and it worked out.
Same goes for JJ Arcega-Whiteside, who Howie said was a bit under-the-radar —
especially as a west coast player, but he’s a guy they are really excited
about.Douglas followed that up saying both Miles and JJ are both high-character
guys, which is one of the ways they stood apart from some of the other prospects
at their positions. JJ specifically is really good in coverage and making
contested catches was something that matters to the Eagles in their evaluations.
Howie added that he’s a crafty guy in his ability to create separation.Pederson
said — which he does every year — that there is no depth chart in the
offseason
Black Harold Carmichael Jerseys , and everyone is competing for a role. He’s excited to get them on the field, see them practice hard and fast, and see where
they’re at and build the foundation that will carry on to the preseason.The head
coach also said it was a great opportunity to add depth and talent to the roster
and to look forward to the future. He said they are getting guys who are
versatile and flexible. He specially noted JJ can be used on the inside and
outside.Howie said that it might be odd that the Eagles didn’t take any
defensive players in the first two days, but that the draft moves quickly and
they were happy with who was available for them. He noted that they considered
moving down, but they weren’t willing to give up any picks to move up since they
are already down two picks this year from Thursday’s trade.Roseman also said
that Nelson Agholor is not up for trade and that he’s someone who is important
for what the team is doing and planning to do. He said that what Nelly does is
something they are really going to need this season.
