The Philadelphia Eagles have officially moved up in the first round of the NFL Draft and are currently on the clock with the No. 20 overall pick, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The Eagles acquired the selection in a blockbuster intra-division trade with the Dallas Cowboys, moving up three spots from their original position at No. 23. In exchange for the 20th overall pick and a seventh-round selection, Philadelphia sent pick No. 23, a fourth-round pick (No. 114), and a fifth-round pick (No. 137) to Dallas.
General manager Howie Roseman is currently presiding over the clock as the Eagles prepare to turn in their selection. The move marks an aggressive jump for the Eagles, who have been heavily linked to defensive and offensive skill positions throughout the pre-draft process. This is the second consecutive year the franchise has navigated a first-round trade to secure a specific target.
The Eagles have approximately 10 minutes to finalize their selection at the No. 20 spot. Further details regarding the specific prospects being targeted have not yet been released by the team.
