The Philadelphia Eagles boast a formidable roster, and it's intriguing to explore the potential trade value of their players. While Bill Barnwell's ESPN article ranked seven Eagles players as worth at least a first-round pick, this analysis delves deeper, assessing the top 20 most valuable Eagles assets, including players and coaches. Here's a breakdown of these assets, with a focus on their potential trade value and the factors influencing it.
GM Howie Roseman: At least three first-round picks
Howie Roseman, the Eagles' General Manager, is a key asset. His strategic acumen and ability to build a Super Bowl-winning team have earned him a reputation as one of the best GMs in the NFL. Roseman's innovative front office and analytics infrastructure make him a valuable commodity, but his personality may not suit every owner, especially those who prefer a more frugal approach.CB Quinyon Mitchell: Two first-round picks, and a Day 2 pick
Quinyon Mitchell, a cornerback, is on a Hall of Fame trajectory. His versatility, better performance than Sauce Gardner, and rookie contract make him an attractive trade chip. The Eagles could demand two first-round picks and an additional Day 2 pick for Mitchell, reflecting his exceptional talent and potential.iDL Jalen Carter: First-, second-, and third-round picks
Jalen Carter, an interior defensive lineman, has a high ceiling, but concerns about his down season, shoulder injuries, and financial implications make his trade value uncertain. The Eagles might not fetch two first-round picks, but a package of first, second, and third-round picks could be a realistic offer.DB Cooper DeJean: First- and second-round picks
Cooper DeJean's versatility as a slot corner, outside corner, safety, and special teams player makes him invaluable. His rookie contract and exceptional skills could warrant a first- and second-round pick package, especially considering his potential for Hall of Fame status.LT Jordan Mailata: First- and third-round picks
Jordan Mailata, a talented left tackle, has a team-friendly contract and less wear and tear compared to Laremy Tunsil. His star potential and scarcity in the market make him a prime trade asset, potentially fetching a first- and third-round pick package.WR DeVonta Smith: First- and fourth-round picks
DeVonta Smith's performance and younger age compared to Jaylen Waddle make him a valuable trade chip. A package of a first- and fourth-round pick could be a realistic offer, reflecting his potential for future success.QB Jalen Hurts: First-round pick
Jalen Hurts, a Super Bowl MVP, has a high salary but is a valuable asset. The Eagles might not get much more than a first-round pick for him, considering his contract and the potential for other teams to prioritize their own quarterbacks.iDL Jordan Davis: First-round pick
Jordan Davis, an interior defensive lineman, had a breakout season but concerns about his physical conditioning and financial commitments could limit his trade value. A first-round pick might be the most realistic offer.WR Makai Lemon: First-round pick
Makai Lemon's draft prospects and the Steelers' interest make him a potential first-round pick. The Eagles' willingness to trade up for him suggests a high value.EDGE Jalyx Hunt: Second- and third-round picks
Jalyx Hunt's ascending performance and unique skills as an edge defender with a safety background make him a valuable trade asset. A second- and third-round pick package could be a realistic offer.RT Lane Johnson: Second-round pick
Lane Johnson's elite performance and durability make him a valuable trade asset. A second-round pick could be a fair offer, especially if a contender needs offensive line help.LB Jihaad Campbell: Second-round pick
Jihaad Campbell's raw physical attributes and promising rookie season make him a second-round value. His shoulder injuries are a concern, but his potential is significant.HC Nick Sirianni: Second-round pick
Nick Sirianni's coaching prowess and Super Bowl success make him a valuable asset. A second-round pick could be a realistic offer, considering his rare availability for trade.Zack Baun: Second-round pick
Zack Baun's Pro Bowl nods and top-five off-ball linebacker status make him a valuable trade asset. His age and position-specific wear and tear could be factors in his trade value.EDGE Jonathan Greenard: Third-round pick, and a late Day 3 pick
Jonathan Greenard's performance and the Eagles' role as the highest bidder make him a valuable trade asset. A third-round pick and a late Day 3 pick could be a realistic offer.iDL Moro Ojomo: Third-round pick
Moro Ojomo's breakout season and demand for interior defensive linemen make him a potential trade asset. A third-round pick could be a fair offer.RB Saquon Barkley: Third-round pick
Saquon Barkley's high salary and age make him a less valuable trade asset. A third-round pick might be the most realistic offer.DC Vic Fangio: Third-round pick
Vic Fangio's coaching expertise and desire for a home in his twilight years make him a rare trade asset. A third-round pick could be a fair offer, but his unavailability for trade is a significant factor.QB Tanner McKee: Fourth- and fifth-round picks
Tanner McKee's likelihood of seeking a starting job elsewhere and the Eagles' asking price make a trade unlikely. A couple of Day 3 picks might be the most realistic outcome.EDGE Nolan Smith: Fourth-round pick
Nolan Smith's potential for value increase and his injury history make him a trade asset. A fourth-round pick could be a fair offer, with the possibility of a higher pick if his value rises.
