The
Philadelphia Eagles, a professional
American football team based in
Philadelphia, joined the
National Football League (NFL) in
1933 as a replacement team for the
Frankford Yellow Jackets, after the Yellow Jackets went bankrupt and ceased operations.[1] After the
AFL–NFL merger in 1970, the Eagles were moved to the current
NFC East division. Every April, each NFL franchise adds new players to its roster through a collegiate
draft at the "
NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting", more commonly known as the NFL Draft.[2] Teams are ranked in inverse order based on their previous season's records, with the worst record picking first, the second-worst picking second, and so on. Two exceptions to this order are made for teams that played in the previous
Super Bowl: the Super Bowl champion picks last (32nd), and the Super Bowl loser picks next to last (31st). Teams often trade their picks to other teams for different picks, players, cash, or combinations thereof; thus, it is not uncommon for a team's actual draft pick to differ from its assigned pick, or for a team to have extra or no draft picks in a particular round.[3]
l Eagles traded their 1991 and 1992 first-round draft picks to Green Bay, for Green Bay's 1991 first-round pick.[4]
m The Eagles had obtained a 1993 first-round pick (13th overall) from NFL as compensation for the departure of
Reggie White. Eagles then traded this to Houston for their first pick plus their third-round selection.[4]
n The 1995 pick was obtained from
Tampa Bay in exchange for Eagles' 1995 first-round pick (12th overall) in the first round and picks 43 and 63 in the 2nd round; Eagles also received Tampa's third-round pick (72nd pick overall) in 1995.[4]
o In 1997 Eagles traded their first-round pick (22nd overall) to Dallas in exchange for the
Cowboys’ 1997 first-round pick (25th overall), 1997 fifth-round pick (155th overall) and the Cowboys' best 1998 third-round pick.[4]
p The 2003 first-round choice (15th pick overall) was obtained from
San Diego in exchange for Eagles' 2003 first-round pick (30th pick overall), and 2003 second-round pick (62nd pick overall). That second-round pick was acquired from Green Bay for CB
Al Harris and a fourth-round pick in 2003.[4]
q The 2004 first-round draft choice (16th pick overall) was obtained from
San Francisco for Eagles' 2004 first-round pick (28th pick overall) and the 2004 second-round pick (58th pick overall).[4]
