The Eagles finally set up a place in the first round – from n ° 32 to n ° 31 – to obtain the secondary of Alabama Jihaad Campbell.
The effort started at least nine choices earlier than that.
According to several sources, the Eagles tried to negotiate n ° 22 with the loads in order to land Campbell.
As a source explained, the charges spoke to several teams during the stopwatch, including the Eagles. When an agreement was not finalized, the charges took their guy: the caroline of the North Caroline balloon Omarion Hampton.
Some believe it was much closer than that. That an agreement was concluded but that there was a problem in communication with the League. And, as we have learned in the past, the two teams must communicate independently to the NFL the terms of the agreement before a trade becomes official. If there is a divergence in the terms provided by the teams, there is no agreement.
In this case, the two teams did not communicate the terms to the League before the check clock forces the loaders to make a choice.
The Eagles apparently wanted to obtain Campbell at n ° 22. After the first round, the director general Howie Roseman admitted that the Eagles had tried to move higher than n ° 31 to obtain Campbell.
“Once again, he was a player of the top 10 of our board of directors,” Roseman told journalists. “We have no long -term concerns about his health. We consider the project as a long -term opportunity for our team. We have a lot of confidence that this guy will be here and play at a very high level for a long time. Kid, great character.
They almost added it nine choices earlier than where they obtained it – for more than the choice of fifth round they sent to the chiefs for a climb from a point. And the Eagles must be very excited separately on this subject.
