Though the first-round of the 2016 NFL Draft figures to be rather anti-climatic for the Philadelphia Eagles, the selection of a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick may very well go on to be the most important pick that the team has made this millennium, for better or for worse.
While the Eagles hope to land their franchise quarterback with their first-round pick, another NFC East team, the Dallas Cowboys, has a chance to make an impactful pick with the No. 4 overall pick. What pick Dallas makes at No. 4 could very well help to decide which team wins the NFC East in 2016. Meanwhile, the New York Giants own the 10th overall pick, which means three of the four NFC East teams will make selections in the top 10. The defending division champion Washington Redskins are the only NFC East team not picking in the top 10, as they will make their selection with the 21st overall pick.
