PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The Eagles are getting ready for the start of Thursday's NFL Draft.
Eagles Vice-President of Player Personnel Andy Weidl said the top priority for his scouting department was to get on the same page with the new coaching staff as they prepare for the NFL Draft.
"I think we did that, and we had an excellent week of meetings last week where you saw the chemistry between the coaching staff and the scouts develop and really evolve," he said.
The Eagles traded down in the first round in a deal with Miami, and general manager Howie Roseman said they have to be prepared in case they decide to trade down again or trade up to target a specific player.

"We'll talk to teams in front of us. We'll talk to every team in the league. We'll talk to teams in back of us. We'll figure out what they’d be willing to do with their guys," he said. "Now, it's all contingent on a player being there, but we to have all that homework done."
The Eagles have 11 picks in this year's draft. Round one of the draft will get underway on Thursday night.
