10. Philadelphia Eagles: Lukas Van Ness, DL/EDGE, Iowa

Eagles GM Howie Roseman has two first-round picks, including a top-10 overall selection, in the NFL Draft following his team representing the NFC in the Super Bowl. That’s how you win as an executive, in case you’re wondering.

Not only that, but Roseman is coming off of a draft in 2022 in which he was able to acquire:

  • DL Jordan Davis
  • WR AJ Brown
  • 2023 first-round pick

This selection comes courtesy of Mickey Loomis and the Saints, and as of right now, I’m sure we can expect the Eagles to do with it what they almost always do — pick someone in the trenches. That’s just how Roseman rolls. It’s how he operates.

Getting Lukas Van Ness a year after getting Jordan Davis? The RAS of that unit is off the charts:

Van Ness still has plenty of room to grow but he’s long, explosive, and versatile. He will fit in with the Eagles and get into their rotation immediately. I could also see them taking Peter Skoronski here.

11. Tennessee Titans: Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern

Speaking of Peter Skoronski…

The Tennessee Titans have an interesting situation on their hands right now. They are a team that was just recently on the cusp of being a true AFC contender and they are now on the cusp of being in a full-fledged rebuild.

Taylor Lewan is gone, Andre Dillard is in. Ben Jones and Nate Davis are both out. This Titans offensive line is going to be replacing a few starters and a player like Skoronski would be a godsend at this point for them.

Skoronski could pencil in at any of a number of available starting spots for Tennessee’s offensive line and would be a nice value here.
