After finishing 7-9 in Doug Pederson and rookie quarterback Carson Wentz’s first NFL seasons, the Eagles will look to bolster the talent pool on both sides of the football this offseason, and the No. 14 pick (or No. 15, depending on the coin toss) will be pivotal to that task. 

2017 is a litmus test offseason for Eagles’ Howie Roseman

One year after Eagles vice president of football operations Howie Roseman boldly traded up to the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft to acquire Wentz, Roseman and a revamped personnel department including Joe Douglas and Andy Weidl are tasked with arming Wentz with the requisite weapons to compete. 

Many of the early projections have the Eagles brass investing the No. 14/15 overall pick on the defensive side of the football with cornerback being a popular projection for the team’s first-round pick. 

Here is a list tracking the projections for the Eagles’ first-round selection in April’s NFL Draft, which will be updated periodically in the run up to the NFL Draft set to begin on April 27 in Philadelphia on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art:
