After a pre-draft period that saw a flurry of key additions in the form of wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith, defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan, cornerback Patrick Robinson, offensive lineman Chance Warmack, and others, I was very excited to see what the Eagles’ plans were entering the NFL Draft. I expected that Howie Roseman, Joe Douglas, and Doug Pederson would allow the board to come to them and take the best players they possibly could to help supplement a young roster on the rise here in Philadelphia. They did just that over the course of the draft’s three days, and now that a couple of weeks have gone by I’ve had time to reflect on the impact that these young players can have on the 2017 team and beyond.
