Teams around the NFL are starting to prepare for the NFL draft and before we start to look towards the combine, let’s take a look back at the most recent rookie class.
Eagles’ general manager Howie Roseman catches a ton of flak for his draft results, but his 2021 class showed promise, landing a top-10 ranking from ESPN.com.
9. Philadelphia Eagles
Why they’re ranked here: DeVonta Smith showed that the ability to run routes and generate separation translates to the NFL level seamlessly, but his production was capped by the overall potency of the Eagles passing offense.
DeVonta Smith was the first-round selection, but Landon Dickerson was the star of the class in year one and he has the look of a future All-Pro at left guard.
Kenneth Gainwell was named the best value pick, while Milton Williams and Zech McPherson saw significant snaps as rookies as well.
