3 Assets Eagles Can Use to Trade up for CeeDee Lamb

It really isn't much of a secret that the Philadelphia Eagles plan on selecting a wide receiver in this week's NFL Draft. With the No. 21 overall pick, GM Howie Roseman could potentially sit tight and be able to select LSU star Justin Jefferson.

However, in a draft that expects to see a lot of movement, nothing is guaranteed. That uncertainty reportedly has Roseman prepared to trade up in order to assure his chances at landing one of the top pass catchers.

Rumor has it that Philadelphia has its eye on Oklahoma stud wideout CeeDee Lamb. Here are three assets the Eagles can give up in order to land the 6-3, 195-pound physical freak.

3. 2020 Fifth-Rounder

It's the NFL Draft, folks. Teams aren't going to forfeit their top picks without demanding a significant return package. That's precisely why Philadelphia will need to cough up a few draft picks. Like the third round, the team possesses two fifths: No. 166 and No. 168 overall. One of these two will have to go in order for the Eagles to move up nearly 10 spots.

2. One of Two Third-Round Picks

The Eagles currently hold two third-round selections: No. 85 and No. 103 overall. Roseman can start the bidding at the latter. If a team accepts, great. If not, he shouldn't have any qualms with waving goodbye to the former. Either way, Philadelphia will still hold a third-rounder, in which there will be plenty of talent available for the taking.

1. No. 21 Overall Pick (First Round)

To land Lamb, the Eagles are going to have to trade up and into the top 15, at the very least. That would obviously require Roseman to cough up the No. 21 overall pick. Any team willing to trade back into the first round will demand that selection. Without it, Philly won't come close to pulling off a deal.
