PHILADELPHIA — Five years ago, Philadelphia was at the forefront of two major NFL events.
The first came in April 2017, when the league held the NFL draft near the Art Museum along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. About 10 months later, the Eagles hosted two playoff games en route to the first Super Bowl victory in franchise history.
To commemorate the five-year anniversary of the city's draft weekend, Eagles beat reporters EJ Smith and Josh Tolentino did a redraft for the first round. All the picks were made considering how each player has fared on and off the field during the last five seasons.
