Sometimes, as picks happen in the NFL draft, you say to yourself, “How did the NFL let that happen?!”
That was the story of Thursday night when the Philadelphia Eagles made their first-round picks. Coming off a Super Bowl defeat that was engineered by the sheer genius GM’ing of Howie Roseman, the Eagles still had two first-rounders, including a top-10 pick. Obviously, they were going to end up with some good players.
Still, what happened in Round 1 of the draft was nothing short of cosmic injustice for the NFL, or at least the NFC East.
