I believed that you could not trade NFL compensatory draft picks. Has that changed or was I just always incorrect about that?

@BreadmanBeezy You need depth on lines. Look what we did two years ago and Seahawks last year. This is nonsense post

Trade Nolan with some capital to ATL get Bates and a 4th / 5th. then take DDS from Penn State or Josh Josephs from Tennessee then take that Freak athlete Nigerian DT and let’s get ready for OTAs howard
English
Ok, I hear ya, and it’s a fair point. But the Eagles also let Blankenship go in FA, meaning our one starting safety is Marcus Epps, who is an adequate starter but not someone any defense should be confident in. Ideally he should be SAF3. That’s where the concern comes in. But I also understand that every defense is going to have some sort of “weak spot”, so I guess we’ll just have to hope that Epps being surrounded by awesome players will help.

Re: safety in the 2nd round — I understand the desire from some Eagles fans to want an answer for that position. I would have been surprised if the Eagles spent a 1st/2nd-round pick on a DB for the 4th time in 3 years. That would have meant 4 of their 6 picks during that period were in the secondary. I expected this draft to focus on OL/pass catcher/edge rusher early (and was pretty clear about that in my pre-draft coverage). So far, the Eagles drafted WR, TE, OT and traded 2 picks and paid $25M/year to an edge rusher.

@YaBoyJericho Plus rookie safeties rarely play well first. Your not drafting a seasoned vet in the draft

@Markemrl @JohnKincade @JohnMichaelsU I’m worried our line coach failed at his last stop what a hell of a drop off
English
@JohnKincade @JohnMichaelsU He did not give up a sack all season and played left tackle for one of the best teams in the country. I love this pick in the third round. Now, we need to coach him up and hopefully have our future tackle.
English
Hey @JohnMichaelsU
How much should I like this Markel Bell selection by the Eagles?
English
@RealTalkWithMJ1 He was dealing with shoulder injury e hope is he is recovered and with Jalen Carter he’ll get more 1 on 1’s
English
Two third round picks for Jonathan Greenars coming off a down year (3 sacks in 12 games) is an overpay. Not to mention giving him $100M.
Eagles are clearly desperate to find a No. 1 edge, but this move no doubt gives the group more depth. If I had to rate the trade, I’d say 6.5/10.

What a great day

An interesting note on #Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers: While officially he's a TE, several teams are evaluating him as a WR. At 6-foot-4, 239, his build can be compared to Mike Evans. Stowers, by the way, visits the #Broncos next week, and he's done #Rams, #Titans, and #Cowboys.

@Will_Rucker3_AD They are not getting starting safety in draft. Guys will compete in camp maybe some guys signed to complete. But stop with the draft fixing that position. You act like eagles value the safety when the clearly have different priorities STOP
English
Eagles have 3 remaining major needs for 2026 season imo
1. A Veteran Edge1
2. Starting Safety
3. Good TE2/TE of future
Would ideally like for them to knock out atleast 2 of those 3 today.
Get me one of Delp, Klare, Raridon, Roush TE
Get me one of EMW, Haulcy, Stukes at Safety
English
This is odd: The Vikings announced it as a 3rd round pick next year. The Eagles announced as a 4th-round pick next year.
Zach Berman@ZBerm
The Eagles are sending a 2026 third-round pick (No. 98 overall) and a 2027 4th-round pick for Greenard and a 2026 7th-round pick (No. 244).
English
@JakeRabadi Or they develop him have him put on muscle and learn to be adequate blocker
English
Eli Stowers is pretty cool. He obviously has tons of upside. Loading up on young weapons.
Only concern is he’s another TE who will likely struggle blocking in-line. They still need to draft more at TE.
English
Update on compensation, per the #Eagles:
Eagles get:
- Edge Jonathan Greenard
- a 2026 7th-round pick (No. 244 overall)
Vikings get:
- 2026 3d-round pick (No. 98)
- 2027 4th-round pick
Jeff McLane@Jeff_McLane
Trade! #Eagles acquire Edge Jonathan Greenard from the Vikings in exchange for a third rounder this year (No. 98) and a third-round pick next year, NFL sources said. This has been in the works for weeks, but gets over the finish line during the draft.

Kayvon Thibodeaux trade rumors: Should the Eagles trade for Giants’ pass rusher? bleedinggreennation.com/philadelphia-e…

@EliotShorrParks Can he learn to block? Barkley going to be bored

Eli Stowers at No. 54 is a steal
Arguably the best receiving TE in this draft
English
@ShaneHaffNFL Yep Howie doesn’t value safety. That so many couch GMs bawling on X. Two time Super Bowl champ Howie knows what he is doing
English
Sigh… taking a slot WR that is called a TE after trading up for a WR in the 1st while we prepare to watch Marcus Epps start at safety on a team with Super Bowl aspirations all while EMW was right there.
Jordan Schultz@Schultz_Report
No. 54 pick is in: #Eagles have selected Vanderbilt TE Eli Stowers, per sources.
English
@aj_muse_ Gotta love the couch GMs who think they know better than the master

HOWIE TRADE UP WE CANNOT LOSE EMW
Ari Meirov@MySportsUpdate
The #Steelers traded up with the #Colts and Pittsburgh is taking Alabama WR Germie Bernard at No. 47. Bernard led Bama in receptions in back-to-back seasons and is a true do-it-all weapon, lining up wide, in the slot, at RB, and even Wildcat QB.
English
@Ike58Reese Why is he still available if he’s so good?
English
@BCameronNFL Could be 3rd round pick why you don’t listen to couch GMs
