It’s almost draft night, and when Thursday is minutes away from turning into Friday, the Eagles will be on the clock for the first time ever as Super Bowl champions – in the Dallas area, of all places.
Of course, they might not even make a pick.
In one of the most-anticipated drafts in recent memory because of the uncertainty at the top, the Eagles are relative afterthoughts in pre-draft discussions because of a dearth of overall draft picks (six) and their place at the bottom of the first round. But Thursday night, and the entire three-day draft, will have long-term reverberations for the Eagles’ roster building and will also be significant for some of their chief rivals.
