The Philadelphia Eagles have completed their 2014 NFL Draft class, adding seven new players to their roster. The Eagles had a strong draft, filling several key needs on both sides of the ball.
On offense, the Eagles added two wide receivers in Jordan Matthews and Josh Huff. Matthews is a big, physical receiver with great hands, while Huff is a shifty slot receiver with excellent speed. Both players should be able to contribute immediately to the Eagles' offense.
On defense, the Eagles added two pass-rushers in Marcus Smith and Ed Reynolds. Smith is a versatile pass-rusher who can play both defensive end and outside linebacker. Reynolds is a relentless pass-rusher who has a knack for getting to the quarterback.
The Eagles also added two defensive backs in Jaylen Watkins and Nolan Carroll. Watkins is a versatile defensive back who can play both cornerback and safety. Carroll is a proven veteran cornerback who should provide stability to the Eagles' secondary.
Overall, the Eagles had a solid draft class that should help them improve in 2014. The Eagles have a lot of young talent on both sides of the ball, and they should be a contender in the NFC East for years to come.
