Bleacher Report Exclusive! Andy Reid's Top Secret Draft Day To-Do List

In a Bleacher Report Exclusive, we have obtained a copy of Eagles Coach Andy Reid’s draft day to-do list. The ultra-meticulous Reid is known to script everything from the team first 15 offensive plays to what the team cafeteria serves for lunch.

The list itself is a detailed, blow by blow look inside the tip-lipped Reid’s schedule and draft day process. Eagles fans will no doubt be fascinated by the coach’s habits, off the record comments and projections for what will and might happen this April 26 and 27: Draft Day in the NFL.
