As the debate swirls regarding what the Philadelphia Eagles should do in round one of the NFL Draft, one insider is vying for the use of a round-one selection on a running back. 

But ESPN's Tim McManus believes Philadelphia shouldn't waste any time on its early selection. His answer is simple" Bijan Robinson. 

Robinson played his college ball at Texas, where he racked up 1,580 yards and 18 touchdowns in the 2022 season. He is ranked ninth on Mel Kiper's Big Board and is No. 4 in Todd McShay's list of the top 32 prospects. But what is McManus' reasoning for the Eagles going running back? Well, it starts with the Super Bowl. 

Take a look at McManus' case for Robinson: 

"Robinson would add another dimension to an already potent attack. Showing a rare combination of speed, agility, power and patience, he led the Big 12 in rushing yards (1,580) and rushing touchdowns (18) while contributing as a receiver with 19 catches for 314 yards (16.5 avg.) last season en route to winning the Doak Walker Award as the nation's top back."

He adds: 

"Robinson would leap immediately into a starting role in Philadelphia, replacing a departed Miles Sanders, who signed a four-year, $25.4 million with the Carolina Panthers in March after setting personal highs in rushing yards (1,269) and touchdowns (11) in 2022. Given the strength of the O-line and Hurts' ability to keep defenses honest as a running threat in his own right, it's easy to envision Robinson tearing it up as a rookie and helping to position the Eagles once again at the top of the NFC. It should also be noted that Hurts and Robinson are repped by the same agent: Nicole Lynn."

Robinson would be an interesting selection for the Eagles, but it feels doubtful that Philadelphia looks in his direction. If the defense can hold up, Philadelphia wouldn't have to go all in offensively. 

But, it is intriguing to think about Philadelphia having a three-headed offensive monster that the rest of the league would be forced to figure out. 

He also granted an argument against selecting Robinson. 

Take a look at what that side of the story revealed: 

"Using a top pick on Robinson would represent a major shift by the Eagles, who haven't selected a running back in the first round since 1986 (Keith Byars). Running back is well down the list of priority positions within the organization. Year after year, Philadelphia has shown it believes in investing in quarterback and the trenches above all else. Former Eagles coach Andy Reid once said, "I want two offensive tackles, a quarterback, two pass rushers, two corners, and I’ll figure the rest out", and the team has stayed pretty true to that philosophy, though interior linemen have grown in importance."
