The order for the 2014 NFL Draft has been officially set, with the Seattle Seahawks cementing the 32nd pick via their 43-8 Super Bowl XLVIII victory over the Denver Broncos, who now pick 31st overall.

There’s no guarantee the board falls this way in May, nor are there any guarantees that the Eagles will have needs at the same positions following free agency, but in this draft each Eagles pick was selected based on value compared to remaining players on the board and the likelihood of being able to get a similarly-rated player later. Without further ado, let’s see how the board fell this time.
