The Eagles had 2 draft picks each in the third and fifth rounds. Per a source, the Eagles traded their original draft picks in each round. That would be the 85th overall pick, and the 166th overall pick.
Slay, who had one year left on his contract, also signed an extension with the Eagles that will make him the highest-paid corner in the NFL, in terms of new money APY, narrowly edging out Byron Jones:
