He's usually very well connected to the Philly sports scene, so I think that info was fairly accurate. But who knows. Plus if that was a lie they wouldn't even bring it up.

Pretty sure teams say stuff like this all time. They could have said that just so the Chiefs were forced to pick there rather than trade the spot away for someone to jump ahead of Philly to take Nate Allen.
Look at this way if the Eagles DONT leak that kind of information, true or false, than the Chiefs might think McCrapper would fall to us at 50, thus our 36 could have been used on another actual real need or a player that the fans wanted (like Clausen). I have no idea if this email is true or not, but it seems like they themselves know that it was a HUGE reach at 36 and they really arent trying to justify it other than with: "good dude great character loves to smile and will help dress KC Wolfe before the game!"
