The NFL announced it’s compensatory picks today, and the Eagles were rewarded with 3 of extra draft picks.
The league gives out draft picks to teams that lost more free agents than they gained. The Iggles lost Michael Lewis, Rod Hood, Donte’ Stallworth, and Jeff Garcia, and gained Kevin Curtis and Monate Reagor.
So when you see that they lost a lot more than they gained, the NFL gave the Eagles a 4th round pick(101) and two 6th round picks(200 and 203). This gives the Eagles 11 total draft picks, and you should expect a lot of deals done on draft day.
