Eagles' draft is front-loaded

by Paul Domowitch
Philadelphia Daily News

Andy Reid has practiced what he's preached regarding the importance of building strong offensive and defensive lines. The Eagles have selected 42 players in the first four rounds of the draft since Reid's 1999 hiring. Sixteen of those picks, or 38 percent, have been linemen (nine offense, seven defense). A look at how those 16 have fared:
