Recent stars drafted by the Eagles include defensive lineman Jalen Carter and linebacker Nolan Smith, both of whom were taken in recent seasons out of the University of Georgia.

By getting so much production out of young players on their rookie contracts, the Eagles have been able to spend the majority of their payroll elsewhere, including on free agents like Saquon Barkley, who had one of the best seasons for a running back in NFL history this past year.

If the Eagles could find a way to add another young prospect ready to contribute right away this spring, it could allow them to further cement their status as a potential dynasty or, at the very least, a force in the league for years to come.

In any case, the NFL Draft is slated to get underway in late April from Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Eagles will have the final pick of the first round.
