Daily News | Eagles draft: Which edge rushers could the Eagles target early in the first round?
Maintaining a deep rotation of capable edge rushers has always been a priority for Howie Roseman.
Some of the past consensus top edge rushers have been an inch or two taller, but Anderson was still 63rd percentile in arm length, which is the more important trait when evaluating a pass rusher’s size. It also helps that Anderson is solid against the run, meaning he won’t be limited to a designated pass-rusher early in his career.
He’s a handful to block not only because of his arm length, but also because of his first step and ability to win with power. He’s sturdy against the run and has the versatility to bump inside to the five-technique or the 4i on the inside shoulder of the tackle. His production wasn’t excellent on a loaded Georgia defense, but he is one of the most physically gifted players in the draft. The Eagles don’t have a pressing need at edge, but Smith could be one of the most talented players on the board when the team is on the clock at No. 10 overall.NFL D-line draft prospect Keeanu Benton and his Wisconsin high school wrestling coach are bonded for lifeVan Ness is a pocket-collapsing edge rusher with tantalizing upside.

Whether he can reach that potential remains to be seen.Ojulari’s older brother, Azeez, was a second-round pick in 2021 and Eagles fans may be familiar with the current Giants edge rusher.
