Even with the addition of James Casey via free agency this offseason, the Eagles could still very well pick up a tight end in this draft.

Plus, Ron Jaworski ranks the quarterback class, and Jon Gruden says one QB might just be the sleeper of the draft.

Earlier this week, we discussed the possibility of the Eagles trading down out of the No. 4 pick.

And while many believe teams at the top of the first round will have a tough time drawing significant offers, ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. thinks the Eagles will get some calls.

“You’re going to get offers because it’s not costly to be up there,” Kiper said. ‘It’s a case where there’s going to be some hot players, and the hot players are going to be those left tackles. Everybody seems to want to go up and get those guys. After [Luke] Joeckel goes, if he goes one, that’s going to make Eric Fisher and Lane Johnson two possibilities for teams that are going to look to move up.”

The Eagles today released four players: linebacker Ryan Rau, linebacker Marcus Dowtin, wide receiver Ron Johnson and cornerback Chris Hawkins.

A Geno Smith comparison that might surprise you, plus a second-round safety to keep an eye on.

Is Chip Kelly salivating over the West Virginia receiver? Who is the face of the franchise right now? And how far back would the Eagles trade? We tackle those questions from our readers.

The Eagles have shipped Dion Lewis to the Cleveland Browns for linebacker Emmanuel Acho.

It was no secret that the 22-year-old Lewis was on the block. Chip Kelly sees three quality running back options in LeSean McCoy, Bryce Brown and second-year back Chris Polk. The 5-8, 195-pound Lewis apparently did not fit the bill for the new head coach.

Oklahoma’s Lane Johnson is considered the most athletic offensive tackle prospect in the draft. Could he be a fit for the Eagles in the first round?

The Geno Smith conversation is not just being had on talk radio, in bars, and on your favorite blog. Turns out, it has seeped through the NovaCare walls and into the weight room as well.

“I have been hearing about that, honestly, too. Geno Smith was a great player at West Virginia. He has done some great things. He could probably fit right in with this offense,” said DeSean Jackson in an interview with NFL Network.

In five of the last six drafts, the Eagles have made a first-round trade.

In three of those instances (2009, 2010, 2012), they traded up for Jeremy Maclin, Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox, respectively. In 2007 and 2008, the Eagles traded out of the first round.

So while we continue to discuss and analyze what the Eagles might do with the No. 4 pick, the prospect of a trade definitely exists. Even though this is not considered a top-heavy draft, all it takes is one team looking to move up.

The obvious questions are: Who might those teams be? And what could the Eagles get in return?

While the additions of Bradley Fletcher and Cary Williams this offseason takes a little bit of the edge off, I would argue that cornerback remains the greatest position of need for the Eagles in the short-term. There are simply too many question marks right now, and no sure-fire solutions on the roster.

Odds are they will be looking to add at least one corner in the draft. But who? And where?

From trade scenarios to Ron Jaworski’s thoughts on the quarterback class, here is the latest draft buzz.

How does DeMeco Ryans fit in a 3-4? What was the issue with him in Houston? And will he be an every-down player going forward? We go to the All-22 for some answers.

Projections for the Eagles at No. 4 are all across the map, but many analysts think they could end up with West Virginia QB Geno Smith. Here’s the latest mock draft roundup.

During a brief interview with Steve Wyche of NFL Network, Chip Kelly touched on a variety of topics, including Michael Vick, the draft and roster-building.

Asked about Vick, Kelly pointed to the Eagles’ banged-up offensive line in 2012.

“Mike can still play,” he said. “When you evaluate a quarterback, you have to evaluate everything. The losing of three or four offensive linemen for the season, he took a lot of hits. You as a quarterback, when you drop back, hope that guy’s going to be blocked, and when we miss a block and he ends up getting hit, it’s not the quarterback’s fault.”
