The Philadelphia Eagles added depth to their already stout defensive tackle spot with the selection of Washington’s Elijah Qualls in the sixth round.

If the Eagles decide not to extend Timmy Jernigan after the 2017 season, the Eagles might need Qualls’ services in 2018. The 6’1, 313-pounder posted 77 tackles and 7 1/2 sacks during his collegiate career. Unless the Birds trade back up in the seventh round, their 2017 NFL Draft is over. Here’s who they picked.
If this is the end of #EaglesDraft, say hello to your newest #Eagles.
