The Eagles yesterday signed third-round draft pick Bryan Smith, a 6-foot-2, 245-pound defensive end who starred at Division I-AA McNeese State.
Smith recorded 31 sacks and 187 tackles in 31 games. He was a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award, given to the Division I-AA player of the year, after his junior season when he recorded 84 tackles and 13 1/2 sacks.
Two of the Eagles' 10 draft picks remain unsigned: defensive tackle Trevor Laws and wide receiver DeSean Jackson, their second-round selections.
The Eagles will begin training camp on July 21, when rookies and selected veterans will report.
