Philadelphia Eagles fans may want to expect surprises in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Last month, the Philadelphia Eagles made headlines by agreeing to a blockbuster trade with the Miami Dolphins. The Birds traded the sixth overall pick and a 2021 fifth-round pick to the Fins in exchange for Miami’s 12th overall pick, a 2021 fourth-round pick, and a 2022 first-round pick.

While moving down erases the chances of acquiring a player like LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase or Florida’s Kyle Pitts, there’s still reason to believe a premier player can fall to the Eagles at 12 due to the expected quarterback frenzy at the top selections.
