Eagles News: Philadelphia lands DeMarcus Lawrence in NFL Draft do-over

NFL draft do-overs: Let’s re-pick ... and fix mistakes for all 32 teams - ESPN
First round of the 2014 draft (No. 26 overall). Actual pick: Marcus Smith, DE, Lousiville. Do-over pick: DeMarcus Lawrence, DE/OLB, Boise State. With their list of primary targets already off the board, the Eagles traded back and selected Smith, who was coming off a 16-sack season at Louisville. The production didn’t transfer to the pros, as Smith notched just four sacks in three seasons with the Eagles before he was cut. Lawrence was taken eight picks later by Dallas and has 34 career sacks and two Pro Bowl appearances under his belt.
