The first chance the Eagles (such as running backs coach Duce Staley) will have to assess talent for the 2017 NFL Draft is today’s East-West Shrine Game, an all-star game featuring senior players.
More than 90 prospects in last year’s Shrine Game were drafted or signed as undrafted free agents, — among them:
Patriots guard Joe Thuney, Steelers defensive tackle Javon Hargrave, Lions offensive lineman Graham Glasgow and Broncos safety Justin Simmons. Some players will earn invites to next week’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.

What: Senior all-star game featuring 2017 NFL Draft prospects
