Eagles at Combine: A.J. Brown Price, DeVonta Smith Breakout, NFLPA Grades The Philadelphia Eagles' front office was in full force at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine last week, where they got a firsthand look at some of the top prospects available in this year's draft. As the team continues to navigate its post-NFC Championship hangover, there are several players who could be on their radar come April. One name that has popped up in conversation is A.J. Brown, the talented wide receiver from Oklahoma State. According to sources, the Eagles are willing to part with a second-round pick to acquire Brown, who would give them a much-needed boost in the passing game. With DeVonta Smith and Jalen Hurts already under center, adding another dynamic playmaker like Brown could be exactly what they need to get over the hump. Speaking of Smith, he was one of the more impressive performers at the combine. The Alabama product put on a show, running a 4.38-second 40-yard dash and putting up an impressive 35 reps in the bench press. NFL scouts are buzzing about his potential for a breakout season, and it's easy to see why: Smith has a rare combination of speed, agility and strength that would make him a nightmare for defenders to cover. In other combine news, the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) released its grades for each team's performance at the event. According to their metrics, the Eagles earned an A- grade, with the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs not far behind. The NFLPA takes into account factors like which prospects each team met with, how well they answered questions during interviews, and even their overall demeanor...#Oklahoma_State #Oklahoma_State #Alabama #Kansas_City_Chiefs #Philadelphia_Eagles #AJ_Brown #DeVonta_Smith #Jalen_Hurts #NFLPA #2023_NFL_Draft #New_Orleans_Saints
