Philadelphia Eagles Odds: How Does the AJ Brown Trade Impact Eagles' Super Bowl Odds?
Most mock drafts had the Philadelphia Eagles adding a wide receiver during the 2022 NFL Draft. Philadelphia has just one proven wide receiver on the roster, and he's going into his second season in the league. So, it made all the sense in the world.
When the Eagles' first pick in the opening round came and none of the top-tier wide receivers were still on the board, their fans feared they would leave the draft with Devonta Smith, Jalen Reagor and Quez Watkins as their starting wideouts this season.
But, in the end, the Eagles left the draft with a better wide receiver than any other team.
During Round 1 of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Eagles traded the 18th overall pick and the 101st overall pick to Tennessee for 24-year-old pro-bowl wide receiver AJ Brown.
So, the Eagles give young QB Jalen Hurts a real No. 1 wide receiver to go along with Devonta Smith after his breakout rookie year last year. But, what does that do to the Eagles' odds? Are they any more likely to win a Super Bowl next season? What about the NFC East? Let's take a look at the latest odds for the Eagles this year.

Eagles Super Bowl Odds
The Philadelphia Eagles are still relative longshots to win the Super Bowl this upcoming season, but trading for AJ Brown has certainly improved their chances.
Prior to the draft, the Eagles' odds to win the Super Bowl sat at +4000, implying a 2.4% chance they would win it all. Now, at +3000, that chance has gone up to 2.9%. Sure, it's not much, but for one player to make that kind of impact is pretty impressive, especially a player that doesn't play QB.

Eagles NFC Champion Odds
At +1800, the Eagles are the seventh favorite to win the NFC after they traded for AJ Brown. They still sit behind the Buccaneers (+425), Packers (+500), Rams (+500), 49ers (+750), Cowboys (+850) and Cardinals (+1300).
The Eagles' skill-position players matchup well with those teams and their front sevens on both sides of the ball are some of the best in football. The question comes down to the QB position and what they can expect from Jalen Hurts.
