With several big prospects going in the prior picks and the Eagles looking to add another pick. Howie Roseman looked to make another one of his trades.
The Eagles sent the 78th pick to the Texans and acquired the 123rd pick by moving back eight spots to 86 so the Texans could grab safety Calen Bullock.

After another wait, the Eagles took a leap and drafted Jalyx Hunt, who was announced as an EDGE.
There’s not much on Hunt other than he’s 6’4″, 250 lbs.
He’s a lottery ticket type player for the Eagles who will look to develop him somewhere. He was a receiver in high school, played safety at Cornell for two years (and was there for the cancelled COVID year) and then transferred to Houston Christian where he transitioned to defensive lineman.
Vic Fangio will be challenged to not only develop him, but utilize his talents as best he can.
