Gil Brandt, legendary draft expert, tweeted out that the Eagles turned down a swap with Denver of 1st round picks that would have added picks to their stable. They stayed the course though and drafted WR Nelson Agholor, who not only fills a need he also passed with flying colors the Chip Kelly culture requirement. This is a break from the past as Howie Roseman, GM and draft lead man of the past, was a wheeler and dealer of sorts and most likely would have taken that offer.
I would not have made that move either as Denver was at least seven spots below the Eagles and at that spot the pool for impact players would have lessened tremendously. It shows a change of philosophy in the Front Office that shows "targeting" not "collecting" players.
This is the Chip Kelly and Ed Marynowitz show now and this is the truest indication along with drafting only 6 players.
