Now that the Philadelphia Eagles hold the second overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft following a blockbuster trade this week, it's readily apparent the team is going to be going quarterback in the first round. 

As we did with every NFL team in the lead up to the draft, we ran a team need/mock draft article for Philadelphia back in March. 

Following this blockbuster trade, Philadelphia's top needs don't change. However, who it is going to take with that top pick does change. 

Here's the team needs we centrally focused on for the Eagles back in March. 
 

1. Cornerback

Losing Byron Maxwell in and of itself isn't a big deal. He was absolutely atrocious for the first half of his only season in Philadelphia, picking it up slightly down the stretch. At the very least, Philadelphia couldn't justify keeping him around at his price tag if another team was actually willing to trade assets for him. Even then, there's simply a lack of capable bodies at corner for the Eagles. 

Eric Rowe is a good young cover guy. He played well in spurts as a rookie last season and should slot in at one outside corner position. Outside of that, there isn't a lot to see here. The Eagles did bring in two of new defensive coordinator's Jim Schwartz's guys in Ron Brooks and Leodis McKelvin in free agency, but it's foolish to think either can be a capable starter. Meanwhile, Nolan Carroll fits in better as a slot guy. Needless to say, there's a major need here. 
 

2. Running Back

Yet another trade of a big contract creating a hole on Philadelphia's roster. With DeMarco Murray now in Tennessee, the Eagles have to figure out what to do at running back. Ryan Mathews remains on the roster, but there's rumors he might also be traded.

Meanwhile, Darren Sproles has never been a three-down running back in the NFL. While he's going to be a darn good COP back in 2016, the Eagles would be utterly foolish to rely on him for more than that. There's simply not much remaining on the free-agent market, so Philadelphia would be best served looking at filling this hole in the draft. 
 

3. Inside Linebacker

There's a reason Chip Kelly traded for Kiko Alonso when he was the head of Philadelphia's personnel last March. While that might not have worked out with Alonso now in Miami, there's still a pretty big hole here.

As of right now, Nigel Bradham is slated to start next to Mychal Kendricks. That could be a decent one-year solution, but it's not going to be the long-term answer.

If somehow Myles Jack were to be there at eight, that's something the Eagles might have to think about. If not, a mid-round project could work. 
 

4. Wide Receiver

Jordan Matthews took a dramatic step back as a sophomore last season, consistently putting the ball on the turf throughout the season. In this, he went from being considered a future No. 1 receiver to someone that will have to rebuild his stock as a primary weapon for Sam Bradford once again this season.

Based on Matthews previous production, he's not the issue here. Neither is 2015 first-round pick Nelson Agholor, who showed flashes last season.

It's the depth at this position that has to be the biggest concern. Simply put, Philadelphia doesn't have anyone on the roster that can even be considered a No. 3 receiver on a good passing offense. 
 

5. Quarterback

Originally committed to Sam Bradford for the 2016 season after signing him to a two-year extension, this changes quite a bit now that the team is going to draft a quarterback No. 2 overall. What doesn't change is the presence of backup quarterback Chase Daniel after the team signed him to a three-year deal back in March. 

Mock Draft

Ths final version of the Eagles' seven-round mock is run through the FanSpeak simulator. We pick for the Eagles while the system selects for the league's 31 other teams.
