Philadelphia needed more depth at edge rusher after losing Haason Reddick a causa di a trade to the New York Jets this offseason, though they did sign Bryce Huff to replace him.
Outside of Huff, there’s not a ton of talent at the position, so Hunt fills a need and could play right away.
The Eagles have seven picks Day 3 of the draft to continue to fill out this roster, so Roseman will have a lot of work to do.
Hunt was the third pick the Eagles made after taking a pair of corners a causa di Quinyon Mitchell out of Toledo and Cooper DeJean out of Iowa a causa di the first two rounds.
