BIRDS 365: Merrill Reese Drops in to Discuss DeVonta Smith

The legendary voice of the Eagles is warming up the pipes to call some DeVonta Smith big plays

PHILADELPHIA - The legendary voice of the Eagles drops by BIRDS 365 to break down the Eagles move up in the first round to take Alabama Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith.

Reese discusses the traits of the former Alabama star as well as his potential impact on the Eagles' new offense under rookie head coach Nick Sirianni.

Reese also offers his first impressions of the energetic and enthusiastic Sirianni and his thoughts on how the cornerbacks coming off the board affected the Eagles and potential Day 2 avenues for Howie Roseman.

ESPN's Mike Golic, who is set to announce the Eagles' second-round pick on Friday night, bowed out due to his duties in Cleveland taking him away but the former Birds defensive tackle will be back soon.

Jody Mac and John McMullen break down the entire first round including the top nine picks that led to Philadelphia's selection of Smith.

The stunning Aaron Rodgers power play taking place in Green Bay is also discussed as is whether one of the best of all-time is a legitimate option for the Eagles moving forward.
