Eagles sign LB Zach Brown

After something of a disappointing start to his career in Tennessee as a second-round pick in 2012, Brown, who turns 30 in October, began filling up the stat sheet in free agent stops in Buffalo (2016) and Washington (2017-2018), as he was something of a tackle machine. Over the last three seasons, Brown had 372 tackles, 33 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, and 4 forced fumbles. He earned a second-team All-Pro nod in Buffalo in 2016.

A deeper look at the value of the draft picks the Eagles traded away the last two years

As we pointed out in our Eagles draft grades earlier this week, the Eagles made just five picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, a year after they made only five picks in 2018. That ties them with the Titans for the lowest number of picks made over the last two years. That is a concerning trend, considering the fact that the Eagles have a need to find as much young, cheap talent as they can get in preparation of a Carson Wentz contract extension, which is going to be huge rock in the salary cap jar.

Analyzing the Eagles' (unofficial) 2019 undrafted free agent class

With only 10 picks made over the last two drafts, the Philadelphia Eagles could really benefit from an undrafted free agent stepping up, and not only earning a roster spot, but contributing in a meaningful way.
