Eagles' Draft Drought: 4 Hours of Patience
About this episode
The Philadelphia Eagles, after drafting offensive tackle Markell Bell, experienced a significant wait for their next pick. They traded away their ninety-eighth pick to the Vikings for pass rusher Jonathan Greenard and two fourth-rounders to Dallas for receiver Makai Lemon. This pushed their next selection to the one hundred seventy-eighth spot for quarterback Cole Payton. GM Howie Roseman, despite the long wait, remained confident, drawing parallels to their successful 2016 draft where they secured Carson Wentz and other impact players later on.
