Lawlor: Critical Time For Smith, Agholor

The Eagles have one first-round pick in the upcoming draft. Barring a trade, they will be selecting 14th overall. In a way, you can say the Eagles have three first-round picks. The team took defensive end Marcus Smith in the first round in 2014 and wide receiver Nelson Agholor in 2015. They are waiting for those players to emerge and play to the talent level that made them high picks.

Some fans will dismiss Smith and Agholor. They haven't panned out, so it is time to move on. The Eagles don't think that way.
