Inside The Iggles

● By Hunter Doyle
Last April, we all set there nervously awaiting the selection. After the Philadelphia Eagles moved back up to 10th overall in an odd interdivisional trade with the Dallas Cowboys, the expectation was that Philly would select DeVonta Smith. They did, and he ended up breaking DeSean Jackson’s franchise record for receiving yards in a rookie season. He did that despite playing in a run-first offense that led to a decrease in overall routes and targets. Not to mention, Landon Dickerson, who made huge strides, and Milton Williams. He showed flashes at the end of the season. As far as the Day 3 picks go, Kenny Gainwell has the potential to become one of the best receiving backs in the league, Tarron Jackson blossomed into a solid rotational defensive end, and Patrick Johnson could compete for some reps as the starting SAM (strong-side linebacker in year two. That’s if all goes well.
