The Official Tally: Cracking the Code on Howie's Picks
According to official reports, the Eagles entered the draft with a respectable eight picks. That's right, eight glorious opportunities to snag the next generation of talent and send the Linc into a frenzy. Here's the breakdown:
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
- Rounds 1 & 2: Three picks in the top 53, prime real estate for potential difference-makers.
- Rounds 4, 5 & 6: Scattered picks throughout these rounds, offering a chance to find hidden gems and future fan favorites.
- Rounds 3 & 7: Noticeably absent. Did Howie use them in a pre-draft trade nobody saw coming? Did they get lost in the Rocky steps? The world may never know (although knowing Howie, there's probably a fascinating story behind it).

So, Why All the Confusion?
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
Here's the thing: Howie Roseman is a master of the trade game. Dudes got moves that would make a chess grandmaster dizzy. So, while we know the Eagles started with eight picks, that number is about as stable as a cheesesteak at a midnight Eagles game. There's a good chance Howie will be wheeling and dealing, turning those eight picks into something entirely different.
But hey, that's what makes the draft so exciting, right? The anticipation, the surprises, the chance to see Howie pull a rabbit out of his metaphorical draft hat (or maybe it's a cheesesteak at this point).
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
