the fans are at the parkway but all the decisions are being made at novacare.rd eskin at the novacare complex. howard i know you spoke to roseman earlier. what are you hearing now? >> reporter: okay. here's what's going to happen. i'll tell you first the guys i'm not hearing. although ruben foster the linebacker from alabama real really will have to think about that. but we're talking character issues here not just diluted test sample but some other issues that could be a problem and probably will be a problem. obviously gary on conley and mike williams is not a problem but i don't think they like him. so here are the possibilities at 14 and i think -- i don't think the eagles will move up. the first possibility is jonathan allen. listed at times defensive end, listed at times as defensive tackle he's very good. he could go before but if there's three quarterbacks taken somewhere before the eagles, if there's three, he's got a chance to move down. he's got a chance. let's just put that it way. another player and this is the guy that i think really could be thei

along with a trip to novacare where she met quarterback carson wentz. and more than five decades later, the eagles are still a family affair. >> we do the eagles as family. it's a family thing that we do and hoping to continue it with my kid my sister's kids and spend the day together. >> reporter: well, like a true eagles fan, ghal says she's confident about the team's future as long as they can stay calm, cool and select collected on the field. of course, we'll have much more live coverage coming up in just a few moments including a look at how the draft actually works. for now, monica, we'll send it back to you at the station. >> sounds great. thank you, rick. >>> well, 6abc.com/nfl draft is your online home for nfl draft's coverage. there you can take a special look at the nfl draft experience activities and get a list of any restricted items that you cannot take if you're planning to visit the parkway. right now let's take a check of that "action news" traffic report over there live with matt pellman. hey, matt. >> hey, monica. drivers needing a dr

csn's john clark is live at the novacare complex. john. >> yeah, hey, we caught up with the local draft experts, mike mayock. who does he want the eagles to take? hassan reddick, his dream is going to come true. and we're hearing from the ravens, coming up next. >>> i'm john clark live from the eagles novacare complex. one more night, the nfl draft. some people want the eagles to take a corner back or a defensive end. but take a look at carson went. why do we show carson? a lot of nfl network analysts that we caught up with today want to find a weapon for carson wentz. philly's own mike mayock said the same thing. carson wentz went from 13 to 8 to 2. most of the skill position people are on effectively one-year contracts. so whoever the top defensive player on the board is, whether conley is available, whether it's rub b foster, you have to look at that guy versus what an offensive playmaker does for you. from my perspective, i'd rather take the offensive playmaker. >> hoish the man heading the eagles draft for the first time, it's s

today howie and new vp of player personnel joe douglass held court at novacare complex they spoke a lot but could not reveal much. you have to keep poker face intact bureaus man gave us aid peak into the war room. >> all of a sudden, someone just stand up and says we're moving up, we're going. it just doesn't work that way. you have those discussions and draft roomies a lot calmer then draft day, you know, so it is just, hey we go through all that now, we have those discussions and some of them are passionate. >> coming up later in sports with joe douglass is looking for in a player, you cannot find this in a stat sheet, that is later on. >> interesting. see new a bit. >>> still to come on "eyewitness news" new at the zoo not one but two exhibits kicking off a season, a sneak peak at the wild additions, kate? >>> we're tracking return of showers and storms to the area , is there one moving in right now and it will turn wet for weekend as well, coming up we will time out showers tonight and also, your weekend time frame, tell you best chance to get outside saturday and >>> well, communit

it is kwai het here at the novacare complex.iously, they're doing some last-minute preparations that is the eagles brass, but the draft it's going to be a couple hours away and if you're a viewer, here's what you can expect later tonight. >> the philadelphia eagles select carson wentz. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: last year carson wentz had his magical moment in the nfl draft spotlight. tonight, 32 up-and-coming lths will earn their ticket to the pros in what has become a well-orchestrated television event. here's what to expect when the draft kicks off at 8:00. one team will always be on the clock. for the first round, each team gets ten minutes to submit their selection. a team can go over, but that clears the way for the next team to pick before them. the order is determined by last season's performance from worst to best barring any trades. tonight, the eagles pick 14th. they were supposed to pick 12th, but they traded that first-round pick away to cleveland to move up and get wentz. the eagles regained a first-round

by the way, as the sun comes up, over the novacare complex where mr.ber within draft derek barnett will be having his news conference and dinner promptly served to the media at 5:15 i noticed in the press release. look at the lights behind that that is, not for the eagles. that is, for the phillies stadium. does anybody out there in philadelphia remember when springtime was baseball season the phillies finished their second straight series sweep yesterday, that is six wins in a row, for you football fans who have been thinking eagles 100 percent. they are now, phillies that is in second place. by the way they are playing right now, it is baseball season. so no one but me it seems is talking about the phillies right now and i have got ryan the produce inner my ear saying get to the eagles, get to the eagles get tour story. nfl has now manager to stretch mini camp, training camps, playoff through february, draft, free agency to spring to make football season every season year round and philly's new pro athlete as soon as he signs his contract is a young

howard eskin is at the novacare complex.front office saying how this all went down? >> well, they like their pick, sean, and when we talked to howie roseman earlier, he talk about -- he didn't really talk about the scenarios, but nobody -- he talked bout craziness that could happen. this might have been crazy yesterday draft in the first ten to 13 picks the last five years. and that's what created the eagles opportunity to draft one of the players that they were looking at and they wanted the best player available. and one of the things that they also like and i'm going to talk more about how this all fell out is a player with character and owe howie roseman talked about that tonight on the 5:00 o'clock news. let's listen to hoe wee roseman. >> he stands for what we want to be and i think everyone in the city will see what kind of person he is, what kind of player he is, unbelievably high character. unbelievable worker, and tremendously talented and productive. >> he fits exactly what we're trying to build here want we start

for more insight let's get over to the novacare and join howard eskin. everyone has an opinion. >> everybody -- that's what philadelphia is. that's what the draft is. that's what that amusement park you're at is right now. that's what it looks like. i know it's very active. but here's the thing. howie roseman vice-president of football ops if you ask him about players he'll tap dance. but what i want to know is, how much activity is going on in there, the phones, the trade possibilities, all of that, and i talked about a few other things with howie roseman. >> we spend this week trying to get a sense of everyone's willingness to move up, move back, and then you spend part of this day having further conversations with teams saying i'm really interested in where you're at or, um would you be really interested in where i'm at? but until the picks start off coming off and people see kind of momentum of the draft, it's hard for anyone to commit to anything. >> anticipation that something will happen in the top ten other than the order we have right now. do yo
