The Eagles are rebuilding the historically good 2021 Georgia Bulldogs defense

The Philadelphia Eagles entered the 2023 NFL Draft with some holes to fill, especially on defense. You can argue about which one was the “biggest,” but the defensive line was certainly on the list. On Thursday evening, Howie Roseman traded with the Chicago Bears and moved up one spot, from No. 10 to No. 9, to select Georgia Bulldogs defensive tackle Jalen Carter and then picked Georgia pass rusher Nolan Smith at No. 30 when he fell to them.

While the Birds managed to go one whole day without selecting a Bulldog, on Saturday they traded in to the beginning of the fourth round and grabbed Georgia CB Kelee Ringo with pick No.
