The Eagles' two first-round selections will be the 21st and 28th overall.
"Throw in the 12 picks, and we can do anything we want," Heckert said. "We can probably get up as high as we want or we can sit there and pick who's there, but we have enough ammunition to do anything we want."
Heckert believes the Eagles may be able to forge their way into the top five if that's the direction they want to go, but trade discussions have not heated up.
Speculation that the Eagles will make an attempt to trade for Arizona Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin does not figure to go away any time soon. A league source said yesterday that the Cardinals plan to have another round of contract negotiations with Boldin's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, in the near future, and if they don't go well, the team may be willing to deal the unhappy wide receiver.
If the Eagles don't make a trade for Boldin or Cleveland's Braylon Edwards, who reportedly is also available for the right deal, they could use their combination of 12 picks to move up on draft day.
Even though wide receiver is always the position of greatest intrigue for the Eagles, the team's positions of greatest need appear to be offensive tackle and running back.
Look at the "unofficial depth chart" on the team's Web site and Todd Herremans is listed as the starting left tackle. The Eagles believe that Shawn Andrews could move from right guard to left tackle, but a team source said last week that the ideal scenario would be leaving Herremans and Andrews at left guard and adding a left tackle to replace Tra Thomas.
There are three tackles - Baylor's Jason Smith, Virginia's Eugene Monroe, and Alabama's Andre Smith - who are possible top-10 picks.
