The Eagles came out of the 2023 NFL draft with seven players, including three more Georgia Bulldogs and AP Rookie of the Year Award runner-up Jalen Carter. CBS Sports Senior NFL Columnist Pete Prisco rated the Birds as an A last year.

Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round with their two picks is an impressive draft for a team that needed to get young players up front,” Prisco wrote. “Third-round guard Tyler Steen is a good player who will be a starter in a year to two. Then they traded up to get D’Andre Swift back from the Lions. Good job.”
