Eagles Draft Outlook: Linebackers

Photo by Megan Briggs/ The Eagles have been highly active in free agency, adding quality starters and depth players on both sides of the ball. These additions no doubt alter their draft strategies and needs across the roster. Linebacker is a position that really let the Eagles defense down last year. Lack of quality of players combined with injuries to make the Eagles very vulnerable in the middle of the field and against the run. Here is all the factors that could contribute to a draft strategy around linebacker. The Fangio Factor Vic Fangio has famously worked with...

Big-money Eagles signing says Seahawks pursued him in free agency
