The chips were falling in the right direction on Thursday night for the Philadelphia Eagles as the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft kicked off. The Eagles were sitting patiently with the 25th overall pick looking to take the best player available. As expected, some unexpected prospects were dropping as they always do, and the Eagles had a few guys that were likely high up on their board still available.
As the Baltimore Ravens were on the clock with the 22nd pick, the Eagles suddenly traded up three spots by sending them one of their fourth-rounders, a sixth-rounder, and their 25th overall pick.
