The 2024 NFL Draft is less than one month away! We are quickly approaching silly season but the Eagles path through the draft is more clear than it has been. Here is one possible way the draft could pan out.Finding a number two back behind Saquon Barkley should be on the Eagles minds considering Kenneth Gainwell has yet to really seize on any opportunity given to him since last year’s impressive playoff run. Braelon Allen is a pure two down back right now, but he could be a great complement to Saquon considering how badly the Eagles want to use Barkley more as an offensive weapon than a true running back.
Dallin Holker has been in college a very long time, but he could provide some value as a late round draft pick. Holker is more like a big slot receiver than a tight end, standing just over 6’3” and 240 pounds with great movement ability for his size. He could be an H-Back type in the Eagles offense.
Nathan Thomas has “Howie Roseman Pick” written all over him. Thomas is a massive player at 6’5”, 332 pounds with nearly 11 inch hands. He is highly athletic and flashed brilliantly as a run blocker for the Ragin’ Cajuns. There would be little to no rush to get Thomas on the field, meaning the Eagles could take their sweet time developing him various talents.
