The Philadelphia Eagles made a blockbuster trade today by sending the sixth overall pick and a fifth-round selection to Miami in exchange for a first-rounder next year, and both the 12th overall pick and a fourth-rounder this year. With the dust beginning to settle, it’s time to look at the major winners and losers from the landscape-altering trade.

Jonathan Gannon
The biggest winner here is undoubtedly the team’s new defensive coordinator. By taking themselves out of the running for one of the premier offensive playmakers, the Eagles have slotted perfectly into a position where they can take a pick from the cream of the crop on defense.
