1. Derrick Henry gets traded to the Philadelphia Eagles
Mock drafts everywhere have the Eagles taking a back, but why draft a rookie? Instead, they need to make Derrick Henry an Eagles. Adding him to the Eagles would easily make them one of the most dangerous teams in the NFL. One of the reasons why Henry would be such a good fit for the Eagles is their read-option quick pass offense. Henry will never have to worry about facing eight or nine men in the box. That means he could be even more effective than he already is, which is saying something considering he’s already one of the most dominant running backs in the league.
The Titans are likely to demand a significant return for their star player, and the Eagles would have to be willing to part with a second-round pick, and third next year to get it done. With their offensive line already being one of the best in the league, adding a player like Henry could create a dominant running game that could help the Eagles control the clock and keep their defense fresh.
Ultimately, the decision to trade for Derrick Henry would be a bold move for the Philadelphia Eagles. However, it could be the move that gets them back to the Super Bowl. With their read-option quick pass offense and a talented receiving corps, Henry could thrive in Philadelphia and lead the Eagles to the promised land.
