The Philadelphia Eagles were the only team in the 2024 season to end the year with a victory. Of course, that is because they put home the Lombardi trophy as this year’s Super Bowl champions. They dominated the Kansas City bosses and showed the whole world of football that once they are the cream of the harvest of this sport.
The General Manager Howie Roseman has done a great job in this low season maintaining most of the 2024 intact core with intelligent extensions on both sides of the ball, which has always been an intelligent movement to get ahead of the market in their best players.
So where are the reigning champions in the first round of this year’s draft?
If you are bleeding to Brandon Lee Gowton from Green Nation, you are perfectly well and you stay with what makes the work done year after year. With the 32nd selection in the SB Nation Community Mock Draft, the Eagles are selecting the offensive guard Gray Zabel outside the North Dakota state. From one championship team to another, Philadelphia obtains a very talented trench player.
32.) Eagles Philadelphia: Gray Zabel, OG, North Dakota state
Gowton: Two vitories of the Super Bowl since 2017 have been possible in large part because the Eagles invest strongly in the trenches. Arguffy had the best offensive line of the NFL in each of their seasons of the Vince Lombardi trophy. In this scenario, Howie Roseman selects a player who can immediately replace Mekhi Becton in the right guard and maybe everything takes care of Lane Johnson in the right Tackle. The interest of the Eagles in Zabel was first reported by Tony Pauline, who was Quinyon Mitchell to Philadelphia last year. Pauline also correctly predicted that CAM Jurgens would not obtain the second round of the Eagles in 2022.
Analysis: This is a selection of Eagles and it almost feels unfair because Zabel is such a good player, and similar to the open receptor Luther Burden who goes to the chiefs with the previous choice, this is such a good team. Zabel can play each position along the offensive line if necessary. As Gowton said previously, Zabel would probably replace Mekhi Becton at the Rightly Guard and then would have the ability to move anywhere where the team needs it in the future. Zabel is a stable and dominant physically dominant liner that not only helps the team to win a National FCS championship, but also dominated in the best senior talent of Reese’s Senior Bowl of The Nation.
The five main players of Remego:
- Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio state
- Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo
- Nic Scourton, Edge, Texas A&M
- Demetrius Knight Jr., LB, South Carolina
- Josh Conly Jr., Ot, Oregon
And there we have it! That is the final selection in the first round for the SB Nation Community Mock Draft this year! What did they all think? How many teams did they crush it? What about the teams that are carried aside and left you scratching your head?
