Eagles Among 4 Teams That May Move Up To Pick No. 1, Per Report
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Last year, it was the Marcus Mariota train. This year, the Carson Wentz wagon is coming through Philadelphia.
With the NFL Draft about one month away, the Eagles are reportedly one of just four NFL teams that could trade up and acquire the first overall pick.
According to Robert Klemko of MMQB,
"At the moment, there are four teams in play to trade up to the No. 1 spot: Cleveland (as insurance against losing their preference of Goff or Wentz), San Francisco (No. 7), Philadelphia [No. 8] and Los Angeles (No. 15).
"My hunch," Klemko wrote, "is that the deal will land somewhere south of the legitimate king's ransom Washington paid for the right to draft Robert Griffin III—basically, three first-rounders and a second-round pick."
This report comes just one day after an NFL executive linked the Eagles to Wentz and the Browns, who own pick No. 2, signed RGIII.
