Eagles Add Trevor Laws and DeSean Jackson in Day of Maneuvering


It was another long day of waiting for Eagles fans to hear the name of a player that will eventually wear Eagles green. The Eagles decided to trade out of the first round for the second consecutive year and later traded back yet again swapping second rounders with the Vikings.

When it was all said and done, as of 8:15 Saturday evening, the Eagles came away with Trevor Laws out of Notre Dame and DeSean Jackson out of Cal.

Laws is best known as being an energizing player who is exactly the kind of guy who could win favor with Andy Reid. Jackson is known as a confident guy who is at times a bit arrogant. The biggest part of either players game that could be instantly felt on this Eagles team is Jackson's return ability. No longer will we have to settle for Reno Mahe or Greg Lewis. Thankfully.

The Birds still have a plethora of picks on day two, so look for even more maneuvering on Sunday.
