The NFL has announced the complete draft order after awarding 32 compensatory picks to 15 teams yesterday for free-agent losses last year. The Eagles were not among those teams.

Here is a rundown of the Eagles' nine picks, but you can expect the Eagles to find a way to gather some more on draft weekend. They always do.
The NFL draft is April 26-27-28.
Round 1: 15
Round 2: 46 and 51.
No. 51 was acquired from Arizona in the Kevin Kolb trade.
Round 3: 88
Acquired from Houston in the DeMeco Ryans trade.
Round 4: 114
Round 5: 153
Round 6: 172, 194 and 200
No. 172 from Indianapolis in Winston Justice trade; No. 194 from Denver in Joe Mays trade and No. 200 from New England in Tracy White trade.
Round 7: None
Les Bowen's quick take is that the Eagles will select a defensive tackle in the first round and use their second-round picks on a quarterback and a big wide receiver.

3 sixth rounders?!?!?! Awww man.. A wing party in the front office after the draft.— Zeru- I can see a DT or something else that's useless being taken at 15. A big WR will be taken with one of the 6th rounders.... but it won't be a big WR, it will be a OT, and Andy will convert him to WR.— jl4045801
- Need to get a 7th rounder to grab a starting LBer.— P Even
- Given the people who are believed to be going earlier, the best player for the Eagles at the point they pick in round one could be an O-lineman. That doesn't mean he has to start from day one. It is critical to have talent and depth on the O-line, and the eagles love to use high picks on that position.— Paul SoTX
- QB PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!— osi is hurt boohoo
- If we don't go DT we'll go OT with the 15th pick. I don't watch enough NCAA football to know what the draft looks like for each position, but if there's a good amount of CB's out there, expect our first 2nd round pick being a corner.
Major needs in order: LB, CB, DT, OT, QB, WR. The thing is, we have talented starters at all six positions, so this draft isn't going to be what people expect. None of the players we draft are going to be on the field a whole lot, unless we get a big WR in the mid-rounds. Vick's obviously our quarterback and whether we like it or not, a rookie QB will be behind Edwards until he develops a bit. Dixon, Patterson, and Jenkins are all capable players who will have a good year under Washburn. Our offensive tackles are getting older, but they're two of the best in the leagues. Asomugha and Rodgers-Cromartie are also two of the best at what they do, with Hanson being one of the best nickel corners. The major concern here is age, which is why I see one of our first three picks going to corner. Our receivers are great and they're young, we just need a big dude in there. We might draft one, but I don't see any out there making a huge impact. Our best bet there is to sign Plaxico for one year, but he's probably looking for a bigger commitment. Lastly we have LB. We still need one, but I can't see us grabbing a guy who will jump in and start.— colahead420 - I can see the Front Office packaging up rds.1 thru 6 to obtain every pick in the 7th rd.— Geno D
- Good one! — Bobphxville
I can see the Eagles taking a DT at #15. Our DT's are getting up there in age and getting a good DT to learn the ropes possibly get in the rotation would be good. WR and LB with the 2 2nd rd picks. Complain all you want about the safeties, but I think we'll be ok. One coming off major knee surgery had to have time to fully come back and then you had a rookie learning, we'll be ok there.- They will take one of the top 3 DT's with their first pick, and a cornerback and offensive lineman with the two second rounders. THe 6th rounders are useful for special teamers.— blaqjaq

- Trade the first round pick since the Eagles haven't shown the ability to draft a difference maker with their first pick. What they also need do his hire away the scouts from the Giants or Packers, who know talent when they see it.— farley
- Can't see paying a DT 1st rd money to rotate with 3 guys. I see them taking the Alabama safety since the D hasn't been the same since Dawk left. This kid plays like Dawk (in the box and good coverage). I also see a QB and DT or backup OT in round 2.— baldeagle55
- Brandon Graham if placed on the outside of the D-Line will be the D-Line pick to come in and make an impact. Draft a good safety and some big ol Hogs.— rockinrob
- Guess im the only one that doesnt see how our receivers over the past two seasons compared to Green Bay,Giants and Now San Fran. 49ers now have mario manningham and randy moss, crabtree and vernon davis. Are we seriously placing our superbowl bets on Avant and Cooper for another season. Scoring in the red zone, dropped passes and fumbles were not issues last season. RD1 michael floyd! 6'3 220 ran a consistent 4.4 in the 40. Watch his highlights! Experts are ranking him not too far behind blackmon as one of the best WRs on the board. Yes DT is a serious need but I really like landri. He's young and has a lot of football left. He reminds me of Justin Smith with the 49ers. If we go WR/DT/LB round1 that person should be a starter. So even though i want FLoyd a DT or linebacker would have the best chance to start on this team and that will decide who we pick. Of course this only depends on if reids takes the best player on the board. No trading up or down.— Yes_General
