The\u00a0Eagles\u00a0wound up moving one spot up the first-round order last night. The move ensured the Super Bowl champions were able to selec<\/a>t\u00a0Jihaad Campbell<\/a>, but that was not the only effort made to trade up the board.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia negotiated with the Chargers\u00a0about acquiring the No. 22 pick, Pro Football Talk\u2019s Mike Florio reports<\/a>. He adds Los Angeles was in conversation with multiple teams while on the clock, but the proposed deal with the Eagles may very well have fallen through due to an \u201cissue\u201d communicating it to the league.<\/p>\n

By rule, both teams must contact the NFL separately to report the terms of a trade agreement. Since that did not take place in time, the Bolts retained their pick and drafted North Carolina running back<\/a>\u00a0Omarion Hampton<\/a>. The Eagles still wound up acquiring Campbell \u2013 the target of the attempted Chargers trade, per Florio \u2013 at No. 31. The Alabama product will look to make an immediate impact at the second level and\/or on the edge during his rookie season.<\/p>\n

Here are some other draft-related notes from last night\u2019s opening round:<\/p>\n

Colston Loveland<\/a> was the first tight end to hear his name called<\/a> on Thursday night. The Michigan alum went 10th overall to the\u00a0Bears, a team which received interest for their top selection. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports<\/a> Loveland was the subject of trade calls leading up to Chicago\u2019s pick. Movement on the trade front only took place much later in the round after the Bears committed to staying put. When speaking to the media on Friday, Loveland revealed (via Scott Bair of Marquee Sports<\/a>) he is halfway through his shoulder rehab; with progress continuing to be made, he will aim to return to full health in time for the start of his rookie campaign.
\nFor the third time in the past four years, the\u00a0Cowboys looked to the offensive line during the first round of the draft. Alabama Guard Tyler Booker<\/a> went 12th overall<\/a>, a move which came as no surprise considering where the team\u2019s board stood at the time. David Moore of the Dallas Morning News reports<\/a> Booker was the highest-rated player available at that point out of the remaining prospects. Moore adds the Cowboys had 12 prospects with a first-round grade, which helps explain the decision to remain in place instead of trading down.
\nWhen speaking to the media,\u00a0Ravens\u00a0general manager\u00a0Eric DeCosta\u00a0said (via ESPN\u2019s Jamison Hensley<\/a>) opportunities were presented to move down the order. Instead, Baltimore stayed put at No. 27 and took Georgia safety<\/a>\u00a0Malaki Starks<\/a>. DeCosta said the team\u2019s strong Starks evaluation allowed for the potential of a trade-down move to be outweighed by the upside of selecting him.
\n\u00a0The\u00a0Browns\u00a0and\u00a0Texans\u00a0own the top two selections in the second round, and to no surprise both teams are receiving calls<\/a>. Last night, though, Cleveland and Houston showed interest in acquiring a late Day 1 selection; Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reports<\/a> the target in both cases was\u00a0Josh Conerly Jr.<\/a>\u00a0The Oregon tackle came off the board at No. 29 (Commanders), which put an end to those efforts. Of course, that suggests help along the O-line will be a priority tonight for those teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The\u00a0Eagles\u00a0wound up moving one spot up the first-round order last night.
