With the last pick in the first round, the Eagles won’t be on the clock until very late in the evening.
Last season ended with a Super Bowl victory for the Philadelphia Eagles, and while most of the things that followed are cause for celebration, one of the pitfalls of finishing the year on top is having the very last pick in the NFL Draft. Howie Roseman and his staff have eight total picks entering the weekend, and they could use that draft capital to move up (or back), but to start the night, prepare for them to make the No. 32 overall pick.
Each team has 10 minutes in the first round to make their selection, which means that at No. 32, the Eagles aren’t likely to see the clock until closer to midnight. The draft starts at 8:00 PM ET, but after songs and introductions, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell won’t announce the Titans are on the clock until about 8:15 PM ET. From there, especially in the first round, teams tend to utilize most of the time they’re allotted to entertain trades and finalize their decisions.
All of this is to say, if you’re looking to stay awake to see what the Eagles do at No. 32, you’ll probably be waiting until about 11:40 PM ET. Until then, you can wait to see a big “TRADE” graphic on the broadcast and hope it’s Howie making a move earlier in the night.
