NFL Draft Results: Eagles trade down to No. 73 and pick Milton Williams

With the 73rd pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select ... Milton Williams, defensive tackle, Louisiana Tech!

The Eagles were originally picking at No. 70 before making a small trade down with the Carolina Panthers. Philly received a sixth-round pick at No. 191 in the deal. It’s interesting to note this move came after a run on quarterbacks.

Williams is undersized at 6’3”, 284 pounds but very athletic. He offers some interior pass rush juice. This seems like a quality pickup.

The Eagles had an underrated need at defensive tackle.
