The Philadelphia Eagles suffered their fourth loss of the season over the weekend, and ESPN analyst Ben Solak believes the San Francisco 49ers could capitalize on the Eagles' disappointing start.
Solak expects the Eagles to trade multiple players before the NFL trade deadline and believes defensive tackle Moro Ojomo would fit well with the 49ers. What would it take to acquire him? Solak proposes a package featuring a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 fourth-round pick that could become a conditional third-round selection.
Ojomo currently plays a rotational role on Philadelphia's defensive line. However, his 10.6% pressure rate this season, according to NFL Next Gen Stats, leads all Eagles defensive tackles.
"He's also a splashy player against the run -- suffers some over-pursuit losses but also creates tackles for loss and run stops with his penetration," Solak noted.
The Eagles selected Ojomo in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and he was part of the team's Super Bowl LIX-winning roster.
Philadelphia could receive a compensatory draft pick if Ojomo leaves in free agency next year. However, Solak believes a team could acquire him before the deadline and sign him to a contract extension.
"The 49ers make a world of sense to me," Solak wrote. "They have another trade acquisition in Osa Odighizuwa and a Day 3 rookie in Gracen Halton who have both been sowing admirable chaos, but 2025 draftees C.J. West and Alfred Collins have both disappointed in their play and their availability.
"Ojomo would become another rotational player who allows Keion White to spend more time on the edge and builds out a deep pass-rush rotation once Nick Bosa returns from his knee and calf injuries."
