 The Carolina Panthers must have wanted Jeff Otah BAD. In exchange for the Eagles' No. 19 pick, the Panthers gave up their first-round pick next year, which has the possibility of being a top 10 pick. The Panthers also handed over their second-round (No. 43) and fourth-round (No. 109) picks this year. Carolina picked Oregon running back Jonathan Stewart at 13.

Or, you could say that the Eagles are stockpiling ammunition to get Chad Johnson. I know that the Bengals have bent over backwards saying they're going to keep their disgruntled wide receiver, but I don't believe them. They've got to get some value for Johnson. Johnson has said he'll sit out the season before he plays for the Bengals again, and Johnson's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, was on ESPN two hours before the draft saying that his "sources" told him the Bengals have turned down multiple first-round picks for Johnson. Maybe they have. Maybe the picks weren't high enough to get the Bengals interest. Maybe the Eagles now have the means to get Johnson. Or maybe not.

The Eagles need a wide receiver. That we all know for sure.
