Get to know Tanner McKee

For McKee, many draft analysts had McKee going as high as the second round thanks to throwing for over 2,000 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. At 6’6″ McKee has the right size to be a big pocket passer quarterback. His velocity is solid and is a smart player but will need some seasoning before he sees an NFL field.

With trading their sixth-round pick, the Eagles have nine picks in the 2024 draft with three picks in the top 64 overall selections.

Following the McKee draft pick, the Eagles have just the 249th pick remaining in the draft.
