The Eagles did what almost no one thought was possible — they killed this draft. Defense and more defense, with the potential future at QB thrown in as well, along with some solid late-round depth.
The only thing they haven’t done is address the running back position (taking a seventh round flyer on Bryce Brown doesn’t count). But overall, a great job by a front office who absolutely needed this type of showing to help reload the bandwagon and come out firing in an absolute make or break season.
