Eagles don't seem to be eager to trade down

On offensive line draft prospects

Doug Pederson on Ronnie Stanley: "I like him." (Not that I expected him to say he hated him). Said Laremy Tunsil is clear-cut No. 1 OL.

Asked about Tunsil, Pederson said he is best tackle in draft and given a chance we'd love to add him to our roster #Eagles

— Ed Kracz (@kracze) April 18, 2016

Pederson looked at Roseman when he said that about Tunsil and the two laughed #Eagles

— Ed Kracz (@kracze) April 18, 2016

#Eagles Pederson believes Stanley is versatile enough to be able to move inside to guard if needed.

— Ed Kracz (@kracze) April 18, 2016

#Eagles Howie on Ronnie Stanley:" He’s a really refined pass protector and it’s hard to find those guys."

Eagles still looking for receivers

Howie says Doug reminds him all the time that he needs to add receivers (depth) to the roster #Eagles

Changes to Eagles practice and the locker room

Pederson changed locker room format. Wanted players by positions to keep position groups close. Chip spread different positions throughout

— Zach Berman (@ZBerm) April 18, 2016

Doug Pederson said he will use some music during competitive parts of practice, but won't use as much as #Eagles did under Chip Kelly.
