This is the Eagles version of the future Marvel show “What if…?”
What if…the Eagles select a DE instead of a WR in Round 1 of this years Draft?
While everyone — and I mean virtually every single mock drafter and Eagles fan — expects the Eagles to draft a WR in Round 1 this year, there is a part of me that wonders if Howie will throw a curve ball at us by NOT taking one.
It’s not such a far-fetched idea if you think about the Eagles’ draft history and team building philosophy.
The “birthday” of the current Eagles’ overall philosophy for how to build a team is 1999.
