2023 NFL Draft: Day 2 live updates, Eagles analysis, and open thread

What will Howie Roseman do on Day 2? Offensive line? Safety? Linebacker? Trade up? Trade out? It's probably all on the table.

UPDATE [9:25 p.m.] – Announced by the sack master Trent Cole, the Eagles went offensive line with pick No. 65, taking Tyler Steen out of Alabama.

Then without any pause, Cole went right to 66, revealing that Illinois safety Sydney Brown will also be coming to Philly.

More on Steen HERE.

And Brown HERE.


UPDATE [9:09 p.m.] – The Eagles are moving back from 62 to 65 after a trade with the Texans. They're also getting picks 188 and 230, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The Eagles will now have back-to-back picks in the third round at 65 and 66.


EARLIER...

After three months of speculating about what the Philadelphia Eagles would do with their first two picks in the 2023 NFL Draft, we have an answer. A pair of Dawgs are now Eagles, as DT Jalen Carter and edge rusher Nolan Smith were selected at ninth and 30th overall, respectively. 

Looking ahead, the Eagles currently have a pair of Day 2 picks. One is at the back end of Round 2, and the other is at the front end of Round 3.

Round Overall How acquired Pick 
 9 From Saints Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia 
 30 Eagles' own pick Nolan Smith, Edge, Georgia 
 62 Eagles' own pick  
 66 From Cardinals 
 219 From Vikings (via Texans)  
 248 Eagles' own pick  


What will Howie Roseman do on Day 2? Offensive line? Safety? Linebacker? Trade up? Trade out? It's probably all on the table.
