Grocery shopping: Five college players to watch who could interest the Eagles in the 2017 NFL Draft

by Jimmy Kempski

Throughout the season, as long as you were watching college football action on Saturdays, we would profile five players to watch who could make some sense for the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2017 NFL Draft.

by Jimmy Kempski

Last offseason, before the Eagles traded up from the 13th overall pick to the eighth spot, and then from eight to two, there was a spirited debate as to whether or not the Philadelphia Eagles should select Ohio State star running back Ezekiel Elliott, who is now with the Dallas Cowboys.
