Trevor Laws |
DT |
Notre Dame |
(From Vikings) |
Draft Scout Says: There isn't a team in the league that rebuilds along the lines like Philadelphia. Like every team in the league, the Eagles are always looking to add talented defensive tackles and Laws is certainly among 2008's best. What Laws lacks in size, he makes up for in strength, quickness, and tenacity.

*DeSean Jackson |
WR |
California |
|
Draft Scout Says: It took a round later than expected, but Philadelphia added the dynamic receiver and returner they've needed throughout Donovan McNabb's entire career. Jackson, blessed with great timed speed and remarkable agility is one of the few receivers capable of making an immediate impact.

Bryan Smith |
OLB |
McNeese State |
|
Draft Scout Says: One of the early reaches of the third round, the Eagles added outside linebacker Bryan Smith. Smith has the athleticism scouts are looking for and had been moving up the board, but with questions about his level of competition, he was viewed as a late ro und prospect, at best.

Mike McGlynn |
OG |
Pittsburgh |
(From Panthers) |
Draft Scout Says: With concerns about the age of their starting tackles and the lack of development of those behind them, the Eagles added the most versatile offensive lineman in the draft in Mike McGlynn. Adding McGlynn, who either has played or projects well to every po sition along the line, in the fourth round will ultimately be viewed as one of the steals of the 4th round.

*Jack Ikegwuonu |
CB |
Wisconsin |
(Compensatory) |
Draft Scout Says: Moments after making one of the real reaches of the early second day, the Eagles added another player likely to have been available later. However, in cornerback Jack Ikegwuonu, Philadelphia drafted a prospect blessed with first round caliber ability, wh o dropped to this point after sustaining serious knee injury in pre-Combine workouts. Ikegwuonu maintains that he will be able to play this season.
