The only relevant question:

Is he good?  If yes, hopefully he'll end up on the Eagles.  If no, hopefully he ends up on another NFC East squad.

The NYT article says that scouts project him to go in the 3rd round or so.

This mock draft has him being picked in the 2nd round:

Sam played for the Rams in the preseason, but has been cut from the team, and was not picked up for the practice squad:

Unclear whether he'll actually make it onto any team's roster now.
