1. Philadelphia Eagles

Jalen Hurts is special, there is no doubt about that. Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman did a great job surrounding Hurts with enough talent to help him evolve as a quarterback. The end result saw the Eagles were just a play away from winning the Super Bowl, and Derrick Henry could put them over the top. Miles Sanders had an excellent season which should result in a payday.

Sure he’s four years younger than Henry, but Henry is one of the best backs in NFL history with at least two excellent years under his belt.

By trading their first-round pick, the Eagles might be able to acquire Henry’s services. He would give Jalen Hurts a reliable back that can take the pressure off him. Having Henry would add a new level of fear and dynamic to the backfield that the Eagles have been missing. Plus, Henry would be running behind one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.

In order for Hurts to continue to succeed, adding weapons is a necessity, and Henry would be the perfect addition. He would also be reunited with former Titans teammate AJ Brown, who dominated in his first year as an Eagle. Henry would undoubtedly do the same.
