AI Summary

The NFL Draft is upon us, promising to reshape the Fantasy landscape significantly. Each NFC East team has its own wish list, focusing on what they hope to achieve versus what they want to avoid.

Dallas Cowboys

  • Picks: Round 1 (12 overall), Round 1 (20), Round 3 (92), Round 4 (112), Round 5 (152), Round 5 (177), Round 5 (180), Round 7 (218)
  • Team Needs: CB, S, LB, RB, EDGE, WR, DL
  • Fantasy Want: Running back depth
  • Fantasy Don't Want: Wide receiver

The Cowboys aim to bolster their running back depth, especially with Javonte Williams signed for three years. They prefer not to add a top-tier receiver, especially with George Pickens under franchise tag. If Pickens holds out, Ryan Flournoy could emerge as a sleeper.

New York Giants

  • Picks: Round 1 (5 overall), Round 2 (37), Round 4 (105), Round 5 (145), Round 6 (186), Round 6 (192), Round 6 (193)
  • Team Needs: DL, CB, IOL, WR, S, RB, LB
  • Fantasy Want: Wide receiver
  • Fantasy Don't Want: Running back depth

At No. 5 overall, the Giants might choose between Jeremiyah Love (RB) or top receivers like Carnell Tate or Makai Lemon. They lean towards adding a receiver to support Jaxson Dart rather than a running back, especially with Darnell Mooney already on the roster.

Philadelphia Eagles

  • Picks: Round 1 (23 overall), Round 2 (54), Round 3 (68), Round 3 (98), Round 4 (114), Round 4 (137), Round 5 (178), Round 6 (197)
  • Team Needs: S, EDGE, TE, CB, WR, IOL
  • Fantasy Want: Tight end
  • Fantasy Don't Want: Wide receiver

With potential trade discussions surrounding A.J. Brown, the Eagles could look for a tight end of the future, especially with Dallas Goedert in a contract year. They want to avoid adding another wide receiver, preferring to feature DeVonta Smith more prominently.

Washington Commanders

  • Details Pending

As the draft approaches, the hopes and fears of NFC East teams will shape their Fantasy implications for the upcoming season.
