The NFL draft order was officially revised, giving the Philadelphia Eagles and Phoenix Cardinals extra first-round picks to compensate for their loss of free agents.
The Eagles, who lost Reggie White to the Green Bay Packers via free agency, were given the 13th pick in the April 25 draft. The Cardinals, who lost Tim McDonald to the San Francisco 49ers, were given the 20th pick.
Phoenix already has the No. 4 pick in the first round and Philadelphia the 24th choice.
The moves leaves the first round with 29 picks instead of the usual 28--one for each team. The New York Giants gave up their first-round pick this season when they selected quarterback Dave Brown in a supplemental draft in 1992.
The Eagles will slide in with their new choice after the Raiders, the last team with a losing record to pick, and before Denver. The Cardinals will pick after Houston and before Minnesota.
