Welcome to the Eagles Update, your source for Philadelphia

0:04

Eagles news and notes. It's Saturday,

0:07

April twenty ninth. Eagles insader Dave

0:09

Spadero at the Novacare Complex on

0:11

Night two of the twenty twenty three NFL

0:13

Draft, the Eagles selecting two

0:16

more players first with pick

0:18

number sixty five overall, Alabama

0:21

left tackle Tyler Steen, who

0:23

has position versatility, and

0:25

head coach Nick Sirianni says the

0:27

Eagles will look at him up and down the

0:29

offensive line and give him a chance

0:32

to compete for playing time in

0:34

twenty twenty three.

0:36

Like, listen, that's really a long way away.

0:38

We don't have to make that decision for a while, but best

0:40

player will play at that position, and we feel like

0:42

we have some good options. And the

0:45

reason why we took him is because we feel

0:47

good about Everybody in the building feels good about him.

0:49

So yeah, I mean it's

0:51

I mean, that's too early to say.

0:53

Eagles general manager. Very complementary

0:56

when assessing what Steen

0:59

brings to the table for this Eagles offensive

1:01

line.

1:02

Yeah, really valuable. You know, you get to see

1:04

him in the SEC playing tackle, and you

1:07

know him going from Vandy to Alabama,

1:11

I think was a huge growth in playing

1:13

left tackle for the University of Alabama. Obviously

1:15

that's a high profile position. There

1:17

have been a lot of NFL players play that position.

1:19

And you watch him play tackle

1:22

and he's had success there, and then he

1:24

moved at the Senior Bowl he played guard. You could see him

1:27

moving people off the ball. You can see his athleticism

1:29

in space. You know, it's a six six three and

1:31

twenty pound guy who started

1:34

in the SEC and a smart

1:36

guy, comes from a great family. And obviously

1:40

coach Stallen a big part of our process as well. Like

1:42

we talked about coach Desai and

1:44

I'm really excited to get his hands on him.

1:46

One pick later, the Eagles going

1:49

for the defensive side of the ball. They're

1:51

third of four picks on defense,

1:54

this time Illinois safety Sydney

1:56

Brown, a highly productive player,

1:59

a five years ard at Illinois,

2:01

and someone Roseman says fits

2:04

into what the Eagles are looking for on

2:06

the defensive side of the ball at the

2:08

safety position.

2:09

When you look at Sydney the way they

2:11

used him at Illinois, they used him a

2:13

lot around the box that he would blitz, He

2:16

covered tight end, he played the run game, and

2:18

so you kind of had an incomplete evaluation, and then

2:21

the Senior Bowl, which Jim Naggins have a

2:23

tremendous job there. He give us

2:25

the opportunity to see him being

2:27

a post player playing in the d PAF, playing

2:30

one on ones, and you saw the athleticism

2:32

and I think that really helped complete our process.

2:35

You know, Sidney Brown was a passion player

2:37

for a lot of people in this organization. He was a

2:39

red star guy, and

2:42

I think, you know, just a tremendous person

2:46

with obviously really good athletic tools,

2:49

leadership ability, and you

2:51

know, for us, just excited

2:53

to get him in the building.

2:54

The Eagles also making a deal on

2:56

Friday, giving them a total

2:59

of four drafts selections. In

3:01

Saturday's final day, Philadelphia

3:03

has one sixth round pick and three

3:06

picks in round number seven and

3:08

that will complete rounds one through

3:10

seven of the draft and after that

3:13

the very critical post draft

3:15

period where the Eagles,

3:18

along with thirty one other NFL teams,

3:20

will compete to sign undrafted

3:23

rookie free agents. IM Eagles and Satder
