Eagles and Chargers Eye Keldric Faulk in NFL Draft

The Philadelphia Eagles, after missing out on re-signing Jaelan Phillips and considering a trade for Jonathan Greenard, may turn to the draft to address their need for a pass rusher. Keldric Faulk, with his intriguing profile and versatility, has emerged as a potential target.

In a recent SB Nation NFL community mock draft, Bleeding Green Nation selected Faulk with the No. 23 pick. Brandon Lee Gowton highlighted Faulk's inside/out versatility, past production, and athletic traits as reasons for the pick. While opinions among draft experts vary, Faulk's visit to Philadelphia suggests the Eagles have genuine interest.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers, armed with the 22nd pick, are also considering an EDGE rusher. Analyst Peter Schrager believes Keldric Faulk would be a high-risk, high-reward pick for the Chargers. The Chargers have a need to replace Odafe Oweh, and Faulk's traits and potential align with their needs. NFL scouts have praised Faulk's character and toughness, suggesting he could thrive in the right environment.

However, Faulk's limited sack production last season and comparisons to recent underperforming EDGE rushers like Shemar Stewart and Mykel Williams may give some teams pause. The Chargers' coaching staff has a track record of developing EDGE players, potentially boosting their confidence in selecting Faulk.

The Eagles need a pass rusher and Faulk offers versatility and potential.

Faulk's limited production and comparisons to underperforming players raise concerns.
