Daily News | How the first week of free agency changes the draft board for the Eagles’ Howie Roseman
gives the Eagles a nice blend of complementary backs to pair with Kenny Gainwell. Still, they don’t have a clear No. 1 to handle the brunt of carries without fear of overuse or injury and could address that in a draft loaded with quality running backs.Similar to Roseman’s work at cornerback, the signings the Eagles made should help them avoid forcing a running back early in the draft to fill a hole while leaving room for a talented rookie.
Even if they pass on Robinson, there are plenty of Day 2 running backs who should contribute immediately with upside to be impact players. Alabama’s Jahmyr Gibbs is a blazing fast option with receiving ability. Texas A&M’s Devon Achane is even speedier — he ran a 4.32-second 40-yard dash at the combine — although he’s probably too small to be a featured back.
Cam Jurgens, the team’s second-round pick last year and the heir apparent for Kelce, could slide over to play next to his mentor in Seumalo’s place, but the Eagles would be wise to add another option for the position at some point during the draft. Even if Seumalo eventually re-signs, the Eagles could still use some added depth along the offensive line and have a tendency to overspend on their offensive front as it is.
