Found for less? It's not common to find an Alfred Morris in the 5th-7th round.
I hate that the Eagles got him, but they got a steal. Also, his age is not an issue as much since he's not an every-down back and has never been.
It also helps McCoy stay healthy, he got beat up badly last season with his workload and Chip Kelly's pace.
