It felt like the Philadelphia Eagles would never patch up the backfield through the NFL Draft. They would sign veterans via free agency, trade for guys, and acquire undrafted prospects without using a pick, but the Eagles never seemed to care enough to draft a guy with a high pick. Over the year’s it’s been frustrating to watch – but finally, nobody can complain anymore.
Not only did the Eagles trade for one of the league’s top producers over the last three seasons. But they also spent a second-rounder on a running back by drafting Penn State’s Miles Sanders.
