It didn't happen. The Eagles missed their guy. The Tennessee Titans crushed the Eagles' hopes by taking Mariota #2 overall.
There is still hope — nothing precludes the Titans for trading Mariota to the Eagles. But for now, it looks unlikely.
On the bright side, the Eagles did not have to mortgage the future to obtain Mariota. They still have Fletcher Cox. They still have Mychal Kendricks. They still have their first round picks for the foreseeable future.
It hurts not to get Mariota. But there is still hope the Eagles will be successful. The Eagles now turn their sites towards their #20 pick. Secondary, offensive line, and wide receiver seem to be the three biggest needs for the Eagles.
