PHILADELPHIA -- Sunday's game between the Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints has implications that reach beyond this season thanks to a deal on draft night last April that sent New Orleans' 2023 first-round pick to Philadelphia.
That first-rounder has a 71% chance to be a top-10 pick, according to ESPN Analytics. The results this week will not only help shape the playoff picture -- Philly can clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC with a win while a Saints upset would help keep their slim playoff chances alive -- but help dictate where the selection ultimately lands.
