Surprisingly, the Eagles did not trade back in the third round and instead took their pick.

Miami offensive tackle Markel Bell will be headed to Philadelphia.

Bell is the kind of developmental player the Eagles love on the offensive line.

At 6’9″ 345lbs, he has the monster size and power that you simply cannot teach.

Primarily a left tackle in college, the knocks on him are all largely technique-based things that can be developed. That’s not surprising given that he only had one year as a full time starter in college (and his team went to the CFP with him blocking the blind side, no less).

The Birds now have three picks remaining in this draft as things stand now. Their next pick would be in round five.
