Andrew DeCecho is in the house.

The Eagles one week away from the NFL draft.

0:06.1

We got some mailbag stuff for Andrew today, plus his article over at Inside thebirds.com.

0:11.4

I want to dive into that, as Howie Roseman did talk today about the Dantavian Wicks trade.

0:16.8

And Andrew, I want to get your thoughts on him and what he brings to this Eagles offense potentially.

0:21.0

This is a very interesting prospect that the team brought in.
