Daily News staff
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
- No receiver on our roster is the number1 receiver on the team. Who can vick throw the ball up to and feel confident the receiver will make a play for it. ELi has several go to guys and Rodgers has several. You saw what happen to Brady in the superbowl because he didnt have that go 2 guy when he needed it. Desean and maclin are not physical enough to be the number 1. Draft FLoyd and see what he can do. His physical attributes and the fact that he wont make it past pick20 if we dont take him proofs he is one of the best WR's on the board. The DT's we have now can get get the job done but we cant keep having these 3 and outs just because our current WRs dont know how to fight to get open. I want a superbowl Now!! Draft FLoyd and bring in Plax. That should be enough to get a ring. Maclin,Desean,FLoyd,Plax,Avant,Celek works for me but Reid im sure will see if differently. More of the same. We win games in the regular season. But when teams double up in the playoffs on our small non physical receivers what happens?— Yes_General
- I'd still like to see us grab Luke, make the LB position a position of strength and have a guy that not only can develop and flourish working with Demeco , but can also be insurance if he goes down. I know people are saying we should go DT but I loved Landri this year, dude brought it and got a lot of pressure.. I wouldn't mind grabbing Floyd, he makes a lot of sense for this offense- don't see us going for him tho. Any info on the QB's available in the 2nd? We have to get a young guy to develop and Tannehill is gone by the 7th pick....— dcrane
- 1st rd best available player regardless of position except RB. 2nd rd QB, best player available regardless of position. Drafting for a need is a mistake in the first 60 picks. You take the highest graded player. At 15, there is no debate about it. If a player is rated a blue chip prospect but doesn't fit a need you don't skip him to take a guy at a spot you need who has a grade of future starter. There are only so many blue chippers and they aren't spread equally across positions.— UncleStosh
- If McCoy gets hurt, who runs the football?— dasher
- Draft DT, safety, qb, round 3 wr— 5th Down
- How about this for an idea? Draft all LBs and safeties. Maybe a couple of them will actually be able to play?
I'm amazed how this team never quite seems to fill that last hole. The one year that they did, was the first TO year and what happened? Super Bowl. I honestly believe that this organization has a "we can make do at certain positions to draft depth at already solid positions mentality" and that they believe that this is the best way to win 10 games every year.
I'm not saying that's the goal, but they're clearly never "all in." For example, they carried over nearly $11m in cap space from last year, when remember -- "They were all in." Anybody think that $11m could of perhaps gotten a safety and a LB that might have made a difference in whether they made the playoffs or not last year? And frankly, the same thing appears to be happening this year, when at last check they had at least $17m in cap space plus the money that they'll undoubtedly free up from trading Asante. I don't know if you've noticed, but there's not much to spend $20m in cap space on left in free agency. Sure they could front load LeSean's deal, but that's the same thing as carrying the cap space into 2013.
You want to talk about a team that's all in? Look at the hockey team. Those guys are insane -- constantly trading away all of their draft picks and constantly pushing the envelope on the cap. Frankly, I just don't see the same sense of urgency from the Eagles.— user1796 - I think that we will trade down in the 1st round to 20th or 21st pick and recover the 4th round pick that we traded for Ryans. Then we pick either Mark Barron, or Dre Kirkpatrick.— Bobphxville
- We need to get some high motor guys. Small but fast.— Ssteve115
- They need to make this draft count by getting the most talented on the board at the time of their pick.Good luck.But knowing they will waste three fourths of the picks on some guys who look good on paper but is not a killer at heart.That is the Roseman stamp.— Andrew Grier
- You've gotta be kidding - Number 1 has to be - Luke KuechlyNO ONE ELSE!!! They need linebackers. they got what looks like a good "one" on a trade. Did I just say "one"??? Yes they've got one. Gotta get Luke. Trade one or 2 of the many 6 rounders they have with their number 1 to move up and get him. LLLLLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCC!!! (HTML deleted)— Phillyexp
- Round #1: Fletcher Cox, DT (If we can I would trade back and get another pick) He has a high upside and fits the defensive scheme
Round #2: Alfonso Denard, CB Physical corner who is good in run support and good in coverage
Round #2: Lavonte David, LB Tackling machine who is great in coverage. I really think he translates better to a Pro Bowl type SS because of his size 6'1 233...
Round #3: Bobby Wagner LB.. He would be a tremendous upgrade at the SAM. Stellar performer in College and at the East West game.
Round #4: Russell Wilson, QB. Has everything except he's small like Vick. Not as athletic but great tools for Andy's offense.
Round #5: Michal Egnew, TE 6'5 252... great recieving tight end... The league is about trends and New England started the two tight end trend... Egnew gives us a legit red zone threat.
Round #6: David Molk, C Michigan
Round #6:Tauren Poole, RB Tennesse
Round #6: Danny Trevathan, LB Kentucky— soldierboy - One of those picks should include QB Russell Wilson.— realtruth
- Why was the cardinals(our)2nd round pick the only pick moved back out of all the 8-8 teams dallas us nyj chargers and bears are all still in the same order why was. ONLY the cards pick moved back?— Sean s.
