Eagles acquire No. 2 overall draft pick from Browns

NFL

PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Eagles have acquired the No. 2 overall pick in next week’s draft from Cleveland in exchange for five picks.

The Browns are getting Philadelphia’s first-round pick this year (No. 8), a third-round pick (No. 77) and fourth-rounder (No. 100), plus a first-rounder in 2017 and a fourth-rounder in 2018.

Cleveland also sends a fourth-round pick in 2017 to the Eagles.

The trade presumably allows Philadelphia to select one of the top quarterback prospects, Carson Wentz of North Dakota State or Jared Goff of California at No. 2. The Los Angeles Rams already acquired the top overall pick from Tennessee for a slew of picks and have indicated they will take a quarterback.
