PFT by way of Scout.com is reporting that Baylor OT Jason Smith is in Philadelphia today to meet with Eagles executives. Smith could possibly be the #1 overall pick in the draft.
If the Eagles have indeed met with Smith, that would mean they've entertained both of the draft's top OTs. It was reported a few weeks ago that Eugene Monroe had a private visit here as well.
This doesn't seem like a smokescreen to me. I'm not sure that the Eagles would move into the top 3 if that's what it took to get one of these two guys, but if either start to drop I do believe the Eagles will be burning up the phones in an effort to move up.
Recently, in an interview with PE.com, Eagles GM Tom Heckert did say that the Eagles had the ammunition to move into the top 5 picks of the draft.

if only
i wish he would drop he is so good i could just dream of him in black and green
I remember during the season and even right after the bowls were completed he was in the 20-28 range for the draft. It was only after the Combine that his stock rose so big, well the combine and the Senior Bowl. But before that all mock drafts had Jason Smith going to the eagles at 21 or 28 now we have to trade up to get him.
