NFL mock draft 2022: Eagles stock up on talent with their 3 1st-round picks

The 2021 draft is over so the only possible course of action now is to start thinking about next year’s draft.   Assuming Carson Wentz stays healthy and doesn’t get benched and assuming that Howie Roseman doesn’t unload picks – which is a big assumption - the Eagles will have three first-round picks for the first time in franchise history.   They’ve only had two four times – in 1949, 1951, 1973 and 1993.   Where will those picks end up? Eagles fans need to root for the Colts and Dolphins to lose as many games as possible, but most likely their own selected will be in the top 10, the Dolphins' pick will be somewhere in the middle of the first round and the Colts’ pick will be a bottom-10 pick.   If the Eagles play it right, the 2022 draft will go a long way toward helping the franchise return to competitiveness. If they don’t? Well, we don’t want to think about it.
