The cost of acquiring Golden Tate for the Eagles was shipping their third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft to the Detroit Lions. That’s hardly an insignificant asset to give up.
The good news is that the Eagles still have a lot of picks to work with in 2019. Here’s an updated look at their 10 projected selections in April:
1 - Eagles’ own pick
2 - Eagles’ own pick
4 - Eagles’ own pick
5 - Eagles’ own pick
6 - Eagles’ own pick
The three picks “missing” from this list include the third-rounder the Eagles sent to the Lions, a seventh-rounder (either the Eagles’ own pick or the Broncos’ pick from the Allen Barbre trade) used to acquire Jordan Mailata in the 2018 NFL Draft, and a conditional seventh-rounder sent to the Bears in exchange for Deiondre’ Hall.
