3. Frank Clark

Clark isn’t going to garner the attention of big name edge rushers like Jadeveon Clowney or DeMarcus Lawrence this offseason. He’s still going to get a massive contract from a savvy team though. Don’t be surprised if the Eagles end up tossing their hats into the ring for Clark’s services.

After all, Clark did put up a career best 13 sacks for the Seahawks last year. He may not pop out on film with quite the same level of sex appeal that Clowney and Lawrence exude, but he’s devastatingly effective. In many ways, he’s a perfect fit for an Eagles roster that prides itself on getting things done with substance over style.

Obviously, signing Clark would mean Graham takes his talents elsewhere. That’s the sort of trade the Eagles should be willing to make. Graham is a good player, but Clark has the potential to be great in the Eagles scheme.

That’s why the Philadelphia front office should make him their top edge rushing target in the offseason. They should look to strike while the rest of the NFL is trying to convince Clowney and Lawrence to head their way. Bringing Clark to Philadelphia would give this defense a massive boost in 2019.
