Eagles Acquire No. 2 Pick From Browns

Statement from the Eagles website.

The Eagles made a monumental trade on Wednesday, acquiring the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft from the Cleveland Browns. The move was the second made by the Eagles this offseason in order to move up in the draft, as they started with the 13th overall pick before moving up to No. 8 in a trade with the Miami Dolphins back in March.

In order to acquire the second pick, the Eagles agreed to send the following to the Browns: 2016 first-round pick (No. 8 overall), 2016 third-round pick (No. 77 overall), 2016 fourth-round pick (No. 100 overall), 2017 first-round pick and a 2018 second-round pick. The Eagles also acquired a 2017 fourth-round pick in the deal.

"By making the initial trade with Miami earlier this offseason and with this trade today with Cleveland, we feel that we have put ourselves in the best possible position to draft an impact player," said Howie Roseman. "We will now focus our energy on the next step."

The move puts the Eagles in the highest draft slot that they have been in the first round since 1999. That year, the Eagles selected Donovan McNabb with the second overall pick, a move that greatly changed the landscape of the franchise.

The Eagles now have the following picks in this year's draft:

1st Round - No. 2 overall (from Cleveland)

3rd Round - No. 79 overall (from Detroit in 2015 trade)

5th Round - No. 153 overall

5th Round - No. 164 overall (from Pittsburgh in Brandon Boykin trade)

6th Round - No. 188 overall

7th Round - No. 233 overall

7th Round - No. 251 overall (From Arizona in Matt Barkley trade)
