Philadelphia got their guy on Thursday night, trading down one spot with Chicago to select Georgia All-American defensive tackle, Jalen Carter.
The Eagles swapped the 10th overall pick and a 2024 mid-round pick to move up one spot for Carter, who canceled pre-draft visits after meeting with Howie Roseman.
Social media reacts to everything, and Twitter exploded when Carter came off the board.

Infrastructure is everything, and as Seth Joyner pointed out, Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox will ensure Carter is straight.
