Building for the future/Swinging for the fences
The Eagles are in the midst of a multi-year rebuild and they approached the draft that way. Howie Roseman took swings on high ceiling players that could pay dividends down the road. The riskiest pick was Landon Dickerson, a versatile but often injured offensive lineman. Dickerson is a superb athlete with a dynamic skill set, he stood out on a star-studded Alabama offensive Line and dominated the SEC.
