4th - No. 138 - Shareef Miller, DE, Penn State

TRADE CONSIDERATIONS

The Eagles used No. 25, No. 127, and No. 197 to move up to No. 21 to select Dillard.

The Eagles gave up their 2019 third-round pick for Golden Tate. Tate signing with the Giants will potentially earn the Eagles a fourth-round compensatory pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Eagles traded their 2019 sixth-round pick to the Buccaneers for DeSean Jackson and Tampa Bay’s 2020 seventh-round pick.

The Eagles traded No. 246 overall to the Colts in exchange for Indianapolis defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway.

UDFA

The Eagles obviously aren’t done adding to their roster; they’ll be signing more players in undrafted free agency. Philadelphia has been able to find some UDFA contributors in recent years; look no further than Corey Clement and Josh Adams. The hope is that Howie Roseman and Joe Douglas can find more diamonds in the rough.
