EAGLES DRAFT CAPSULE

LAST SEASON: Missed playoffs third year in row despite 3-0start, but rookie QB Carson Wentz started 16 games and showed plenty of promise despite lack of playmakers on offense. LT Lane Johnson’s 10-game suspension for PED use helped cost them shot at playoffs. They were 5-1 with Johnson, 2-8without him, including six losses by seven points or less. First-year coach Doug Pederson also got valuable on-job training and should be more comfortable one year in. Defense was vastly improved under new coordinator Jim Schwartz, though both starting cornerbacks aren’t coming back. Special teams were one of best in league again. THEY NEED: CB, RB, DE, WR. THEY DON’T NEED: QB, G, S. POSSIBLE FIRST PICK: RB Christian McCaffrey, Stanford; CB Gareon Conley, Ohio State; WR Mike Williams, Clemson; DE Charles Harris, Missouri; CB Chidobe Awuzie, Colorado. OUTLOOK: First draft for Joe Douglas, hired last May as vice president of player personnel. Douglas works with executive VP Howie Roseman, though it’s not known who has final say. Addition of free agent WRs Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith allows Eagles to focus on biggest need: cornerback. But they’d have tough time passing up McCaffrey, if he’s available. They could trade down in draft that’s deep at CB, though that might not sit well with fans in host city.
