The old adage says that the rich always get richer, and that’s often the case in the National Football League as well.
That’s why the Philadelphia Eagles might get even wealthier.
The defending Super Bowl champions will have the final selection in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
However, per team insider Eliot Shorr-Parks, they might look to make a big splash.
According to his insight, the team is more likely to trade up than to trade down, as they have a surplus of selections and not many glaring needs on their roster.
I think the Eagles are much more likely to trade up in the NFL Draft than trade back
✅ They don’t need more picks
✅ They will want a special talent
✅ They need a great cost-controlled starter more than they need a few average backups with later picks @betPARX pic.twitter.com/PeHv36nzlr— Eliot Shorr-Parks (@EliotShorrParks) April 20, 2025
Some expect them to be in the mix for any of the big-name players who might become available, but even if that fits Roseman’s style, it might not be the wisest decision at this moment.
The Eagles have found success because of their cost-efficient roster.
They built one of the strongest defenses in the game through the NFL Draft, and that left them more than enough cash to spare to bolster their roster with stars.
This roster is absolutely stacked at all positions, but even the best things in life can get better.
They can afford to package multiple selections to get another star on a team-friendly deal and stay competitive for years to come without jeopardizing their finances.
That’s how great teams and dynasties are built.
