The Eagles had three picks in the first two rounds and passed on Wilson three times, and yet they "geared their whole draft around Wilson"? It sounds to me like the Eagles are revising history to their convenience.
Wilson went with the 75th pick, one selection after Scott Pioli took Donald Stephenson. The Eagles drafted DE Vinny Curry with #59, LB Mychal Kendricks with #46, and DT Fletcher Cox with #12. If you're building your whole draft around a QB, and picks 46 and 59 roll around, you're not taking LBs and DEs.
