PHILADELPHIA -- For all of the hours spent poring over film, conducting interviews and scouring the country for unearthed prospects and information leading up to the NFL draft, the Philadelphia Eagles have kept things pretty simple over the past couple of years when on the clock, especially on Day 1 and Day 2.
They selected receiver DeVonta Smith and offensive lineman Landon Dickerson from the national champion Alabama Crimson Tide with their first two picks last year. This time around, they homed in on the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs and took two players from their dominant defense in defensive tackle Jordan Davis (13th overall) and linebacker Nakobe Dean (83rd overall).
