The Eagles were ecstatic to see DeSean Jackson still available with the second of their two 2nd round picks.  He is a tad small at 5′11″, 180 pounds but he can run like the wind (4.4 40).  Jackson also is a electric punt returner and that is a big need for the Eagles who lost a game or two on special teams.  Jackson played in 37 games (33 starts) at California and he caught 162 passes for 2,423 yards (15.0 avg) with 22 TD grabs.  Look for him to slot in behind Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown as the possible #3 WR on the Eagles as a rookie.

The Eagles traded out of the first round but they felt the need to add a big body inside and that’s why they selected Trevor Laws out of Notre Dame.  He’s a tad small at 6′0″, 297 pounds but he fits in better in a four man front like the Eagles employ.  Laws played in 49 games (37 starts) at Notre Dame and he made 224 tackles, had 22.5 tackles for a loss, had 12 sacks, batted down 4 passes, forced 2 fumbles and recovered 4 fumbles.  Laws will be a backup to start his career with the Eagles but he has the potential to start in the future.
