Daily News | Eagles round out 2022 NFL draft class with two picks, but don’t select any defensive backs
After making two trades on the NFL draft’s final day Saturday, the Eagles ended up with Kansas linebacker Kyron Johnson and SMU tight end Grant Calcaterra in the sixth round.
He expressed a willingness to play wherever the Eagles wanted him to on defense, but noted his conversations have primarily been with the Eagles’ inside linebackers coach and sports psychologist. It’s also worth noting the Eagles listed him as a linebacker on their website. “There were no medical concerns for us on Grant,” Roseman said. “We just kind of say, at the end of the day, when there’s a ‘P’ next to a guy’s name, and he passes, that’s all we need to know.”
There were opportunities in the draft, but Roseman looked elsewhere. The Eagles’ front office has long valued line-of-scrimmage players over skill positions, which was likely instructive in its decision to use the 13th overall pick on Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis instead of Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton, who went to the Baltimore Ravens with the next pick.
