Eagles Trade with Texans for 3rd Time in NFL Draft, Move Up in 6th Round
It just doesn't stop for the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2023 NFL Draft, especially when it comes to trading with the Houston Texans.
With Day 3 flying by on Saturday, the Eagles decided to make a trade with the Texans for the third (!) time of the draft, allowing Philly to move up higher in the sixth round while giving Houston more flexibility with an additional pick in the seventh round.
Here are the trade details:
Eagles receive:
- No. 191
Texans receive:
- No. 230
- No. 248
Philly will now be picking at No. 188 and No. 191 while also holding the No. 249 selection.
The Eagles were one of three teams to trade up into the fourth round right before Day 3 officially started. The New Orleans Saints traded up with the Chicago Bears to No. 103 and the Las Vegas Raiders moved up to No. 104 after the Texans traded with them as well.
Philly will now look to build off of its first four picks of the draft. The Eagles have selected Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter at No. 9, Georgia EDGE Nolan Smith at No. 30, Alabama offensive tackle Tyler Steen at No. 65, Illinois safety Sydney Brown at No. 66 and Georgia cornerback Kelee Ringo at No. 105.
