2019 NFL Mock Draft: Bills land Nick Bosa at No. 1
By Brad Weiss
The Philadelphia Eagles accomplished a seemingly impossible feat this past NFL season, as they won Super Bowl LII over the New England Patriots despite the fact they had to use their backup quarterback. Nick Foles was a magician during the Eagles Super Bowl run, capping the season with an MVP award in the big game.
Heading into 2018, the Eagles are once again the favorite in the NFC East, though the division is loaded with talent. Head coach Doug Pederson has had to deal with questions all summer long about starting quarterback Carson Wentz, who is coming off a torn up knee late in the 2017 regular season.
Foles was named the starter for Week 1, but Wentz should be back in there before long. The Eagles have the most talent on both sides of the ball than any other team in the NFL, and if they can play consistent football, they could be the NFC representative in the Super Bowl for the second straight season.
If they do make it back to the Super Bowl, they will obviously be picking late in round one, and they should go with a running back. The combination of Jay Ajayi and Darren Sproles figure to do most of the work for the team in 2018, but if they can bring in a workhorse like Rodney Anderson from Oklahoma via the NFL Draft next April, they will have that true feature back they are lacking.
