Eagles Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Fri, 16 May 2008 00:47:48 PDT

While the Eagles struck out in their offseason attempts to acquire an established top-flight wide receiver—they swung and missed at free agent Randy Moss and were turned down by the Detroit Lions and the Arizona Cardinals when they inquired about the availability of Roy Williams, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin—they have managed to add more speed to their offense.

They traded a fourth-round pick to Miami for running back Lorenzo Booker and also selected wide receiver DeSean Jackson in the second round.

Booker, a third-round pick by the Dolphins in the '07 draft, is a versatile back out of the Brian Westbrook mold with sub-4.4 speed who can be used all over the formation.
