List of Philadelphia Eagles first-round draft picks The Philadelphia Eagles , a professional American football team based in Philadelphia , joined the National Football League in 1933 as a replacement team for the Frankford Yellow Jackets , after the Yellow Jackets went bankrupt and ceased operations. After the AFL–NFL merger in 1970, the Eagles were moved to the current NFC East division. Every April, each NFL franchise adds new players to its roster through a collegiate draft at the "NFL Annual Player Selection Meeting", more commonly known as the NFL Draft. Teams are ranked in inverse order based on their previous season's records, with the worst record picking first, the second-worst picking second, and so on. Two exceptions to this order are made for teams that played in the previous Super Bowl: the Super Bowl champion picks last, and the Super Bowl loser picks next to last. Teams often trade their picks to other teams for different picks, players, cash, or combinations thereof; thus, it is not uncommon for a team's actual draft pick to differ from its assigned pick, or for a team to have extra or no draft picks in a particular round. The Eagles' first selection as an NFL team was Jay Berwanger , a running back from University of Chicago . The Eagles have selected number one overall three times, including Berwanger in 1936 , Sam Francis in 1937 , and Chuck Bednarik in 1949 , second overall five times, and third overall three times. Three eventual Hall of Famers have been selected by the Eagles: Steve Van Buren , Bednarik, and Bob Brown .
