Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman continues to make moves in the 2023 NFL Draft.

After previously holding the No. 62 pick, the Eagles traded out of the second round on Day 2 with the Houston Texans in exchange for picks No. 65, No. 188, and No. 230.

But Roseman must have his eye on someone on Day 3, as he has agreed to yet another draft trade with the Texans to move up near the top of the order of the fourth round. Here are the trade terms:

Eagles receive:

No. 105

Texans receive:

2024 third-round pick

Roseman could be taking a gamble here by sending away a valuable pick in next year's draft, but maybe it's the price he's willing to pay for whoever the Eagles could be targeting.

The Eagles were one of three teams to trade up into the fourth round right before Day 3 officially started. The New Orleans Saints traded up with the Chicago Bears to No. 103 and the Las Vegas Raiders moved up to No. 104 after the Texans traded with them as well.

Philly will now look to build off of its first four picks of the draft. The Eagles have selected Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter at No. 9, Georgia EDGE Nolan Smith at No. 30, Alabama offensive tackle Tyler Steen at No. 65 and Illinois safety Sydney Brown at No. 66.
