Last night, the 1st Round of the NFL Draft saw the Philadelphia Eagles take 2 Georgia Bulldogs in Jalen Carter at #9 overall and Nolan Smith at #30 overall. Both of those players were heralded as top-level defensive prospects, and the birds seem to have gotten both of them at outstanding value. So, how did Philadelphia Eagles Twitter feel about Howie Roseman’s work in bringing a couple new Eagles into the nest? Let’s take a look.

  Saw many mock drafts (including mine) with Nolan Smith to Philadelphia at No. 10. They get him at No. 30 after getting Jalen Carter earlier.

  What a night for Philadelphia. https://t.co/pLwtjW6a9u

  Eagles draft Another Georgia defender, this time edge rusher Nolan Smith. He now joins Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean, four college teammates reunited in Philadelphia.

  Georgia has become the Eagles’ unofficial training ground.

• Kevin Negandhi

  They didn’t have to move up. Nolan Smith fell right into the Eagles lap at 30. Unreal night for Howie and his staff.

  Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith now join Jordan Davis and Nakobe Dean of @GeorgiaFootball. Just incredible.

• Zach Berman

  Hard to envision a better outcome for the Eagles than what occurred tonight — Jalen Carter, Nolan Smith and only surrendered a 2024 4th to do it. (Plus, they moved up in R3 because of the Gannon tampering.)

  Story will play out on the field, but you look at process tonight.

• Daniel Jeremiah

  I’m dumbfounded at the fact that the Eagles are leaving this first round with both Jalen Carter & Nolan Smith.
