How would this trade unfold in the draft? Utilizing Pro Football Focus’ mock draft simulator, we orchestrated a significant trade involving Brown and secured additional picks for Philly.
The Eagles acquire a substantial number of players, many of whom are anticipated to become starters at the professional level. Below is a breakdown of the mock draft, including the Eagles’ original selections and those obtained from the Patriots: Iowa’s cornerback Cooper DeJean (No. 22), wide receiver Ladd McConkey (No. 34), cornerback Mike Sainristil from Michigan (No. 50), wide receiver Keon Coleman from Florida State (No. 53), linebacker Junior Colson from Michigan (No. 68), running back Braelon Allen from Wisconsin (No. 103), and safety Malik Mustapha from Wake Forest.
In essence, the Eagles bolster their defensive lineup by acquiring cornerbacks and a linebacker, with a particular emphasis on leveraging the talent from Michigan’s impressive championship roster. This trade proposition sees Philadelphia transforming Brown into a package featuring McConkey, Colson, and Allen. While this may not directly replace Brown’s 1,400 receiving yards, it has the potential to cultivate a more balanced and well-rounded football team.
