Browns’ No. 2 pick to Eagles for multiple picks

PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Eagles completed their journey to the No. 2 pick in the 2016 NFL draft.

The Eagles acquired the Cleveland Browns’ pick Thursday with a blockbuster trade. To make this deal, the Eagles used draft picks acquired in two previous trades. Executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman said the team had been trying to move up ever since January.

Roseman acknowledged Wednesday that the Eagles intended to take a quarterback with the No. 2 pick.

The Eagles will likely take either Cal’s Jared Goff or North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz, whichever is not taken by the Rams.

It is the fourth time the top two selections in the draft have been dealt.
