Again and Again?
options
 

The Eagles were supposed to pick 85th in the third round, but they have traded that pick to the Giants for the 91st pick and the 164th pick. We're not sure, but we think maybe they have the entire fifth round cornered now.

Whole bunch of tight ends still on the board -- Jared Cook, Cornelius Ingram, Chase Coffman. You'd think that might be the Eagles' direction. Stay tuned.

 

UPDATED: This is getting ridiculous. The Eagles have traded 91 to Seattle for 137 -- the first pick in the fifth round, in which the Eagles now are scheduled to draft six times -- 213 (a seventh-rounder) and a third-rounder next year.

Jared Cook has now been drafted. As to what the Birds are doing, I have not a clue.

    ESPN is saying teams are reaching taking guys that are projected in the 4-6th round in the 3rd. Maybe the Eagles feel that way too.

    he helped the cowboys a few years back? dallas took anothony spencer and he sucks. with the dallas picks, the eagles got kolb, stewart bradley and CJ gaddis. despite gaddis being a flop, the eagles easily got the best of that trade. Stop complaining about everything, you don't know what you are talking about.

    As soon as all seems to be running according to plan, the Eagles’ “stupid” gene kicks in and we start trading away quality for quantity. Hello! It don’t work… didn’t we learn that over the past 10 years.

    I agree, It is ridiculous! They can't deal with success, another 9 - 10 win season and loss in the playoffs if we make them.

    I bet a few of those fifths will be put together for a late fourth.

    if teams are reaching into the 3rd round, then the 4th rd. should have some talent worth waiting for

    ESPN has the eagles drafting at 121 so either they are wrong or this report is wrong

Les BowenLes Bowen has covered the Eagles for the Daily News since 2002. Before that, he spent nearly 13 years covering the Flyers. It took Les only a few seasons after the switch to figure out that there was no penalty box at the Linc, and that the time really wasn't his, despite what Andy Reid kept saying. Les came to Philadelphia and the Daily News from Charlotte in 1983. In the intervening years, he has pretty much lost track of NASCAR, and his accent. He, his wife Barbara, and their two sons live in Haddon Township, New Jersey. E-mail Les at bowenl@phillynews.com and follow him on Twitter.

Paul DomowitchPaul Domowitch has been with the Daily News since 1982. He has spent most of his nearly 3 decades with the paper covering the Eagles and pro football. For the last 10 years, he’s been a selector for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A native of Wilkes-Barre and a graduate of Wilkes University, Domo started his career in Texas, working first for the Midland Reporter-Telegram (1976-78), and then for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where he covered some god-awful Texas Ranger baseball teams. His first beat at the Daily News actually was boxing, which he covered just long enough to lose 2 sports coats to blood spatter before moving on to football. Domo and his wife Shelley, a University of Oklahoma grad who still hasn’t gotten over that Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State 5 years ago, have 2 terrific daughters -- Allison, 28, who is an attorney in South Jersey, and Amy, 25, who works in administration for a professional baseball team.
