Eagles Draft Day - 3 Rounds Down

Watching the NFL Network's coverage of the Draft 2007, 11 hours 4 minutes, they've just wrapped up for the day.  It's the longest first day in history with 99 picks through rounds 1 through 3.  They had Andy Reid on about 20 minutes ago, commenting on the pick of Kevin Kolb, stating that Kolb was the best pick on the board for the Eagles.

Just as much as Brady Quinn, was a surprise to go so low in the picks today, Kolb's pick by the Eagles was just as much of a surprise to Philly as it was to the player himself, not to mention the media.  In the analysis they are running now, they are even commenting about the surprise of Kolb coming to the Eagles in the second round.

Eagles struck a deal with the Cowboys that traded them out of the first round picks.  This actually marked the first time since Reid's been coach that the Eagles didn't have a first round draft pick.  They did make up for it though, going from 6 picks on draft weekend to having 8.

The rest of the day went like this:

• Round #2, Selection #57 - Victor Abiamiri, Defensive End
• Round #3, Selection #87 - Stewart Bradley, Outside Linebacker
• Round #3, Selection #90 - Tony Hunt, Running Back

We've got 4 more picks tomorrow, should be really interesting to see what plays out!
