Philadelphia Eagles 3 best offseason additions in 2022

The team from the City of Brotherly Love didn’t make a ton of moves this offseason. But the Philadelphia Eagles may have scored in a big way.

It’s worth noting that the Philadelphia Eagles have qualified for the playoffs in four of the past five years dating back to the team’s Super Bowl LII championship campaign of 2017. And they’ve done it with various quarterbacks and under two different head coaches.

A year ago, Nick Sirianni led the club to a 9-8 record after a 3-6 start in his debut as an NFL head coach. The Birds looked a bit overwhelmed in the wild-card round against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

But when it’s all said and done, that 31-15 setback could prove to be a big-time learning experience for young quarterback Jalen Hurts and the rest of the team.

General manager Howie Roseman didn’t add a lot of fresh faces this offseason but there’s a lot of quality in those additions. So which three newcomers rate as the team’s best?

Philadelphia Eagles top offseason pickup no. 3: LB Nakobe Dean (Georgia)

He wound up slipping to the third round. With the 83rd overall selection in April, the Eagles grabbed productive linebacker Nakobe Dean from the defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs.

And NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein had this to say about the talented prospect.

"Explosive, three-down linebacker with the demeanor and quickness to become a volume tackler while holding down third-down duties at a high level. Dean’s play recognition is a work in progress, which limits reaction time and forces him to deal with more blockers than he’ll see as he gains more experience…He might lack measurables, but he has the toughness and technique to see a boost in his performance once his play becomes more proactive.
