Round 3
Posted: May 9th, 2014 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 262 Comments »2 rounds are in the books. The Eagles have picks 83 and 86. It wouldn’t shock me for the Eagles to try and trade back, so they could add a 4th round pick. If there are good players on the board that they really like, the Eagles will stay put and take their guys.
Pick 83
Pick 86
The Eagles can go any number of ways. I’m hoping for ILB and DL, but they could go for an OL, RB, CB, S or maybe even another WR.
My ideal scenario is to get ILB Christian Jones and DE Brent Urban.
There are plenty of other guys to look at.
RB: Tre Mason
WR: Martavis Bryant, Robert Herron, Donte Moncrief, Kevin Norwood, Bruce Ellington
OL: Marcus Martin, Billy Turner, Charles Leno, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Trai Turner, Dakota Dozier
* * *
DL: Louis Nix, Kareem Martin, Daquan Jones, Brent Urban
OLB: Will Clarke, Chris Smith, James Gayle
ILB: Christian Jones, Jordan Tripp, Telvin Smith
S: Dion Bailey, Terrance Brooks, Brock Vereen
CB: Bashaud Breeland, Phillip Gaines, Keith McGill, Pierre Desir, Jaylen Watkins
Let’s see what happens.
_
Davante Adams went in the 2nd round, mate.
with our pick no less
No, he was 53. RB Sarkey was 54.
oh yeah…where’d I put my beer…
Doesn’t matter, just grab another.
Fixed. Trying to copy and paste quickly doesn’t always work well.
I’d forgotten that Daquan Jones was still available as well. He’d be a really nice fit for depth and to push the starters on the DL.
poor Morgan Moses, he has no idea right now that Marcus Smith is going to abuse him for the next 5 years.
Maybe, but Moses totally controlled Attaochu in their matchup this year.
Moses is going to be good if he develops well.
I think Marcus Martin is the last man standing in the green room
They better draft some OL because if they think all five OL will start all 16 games again (the true reason why the team was successful last year NOT dipshit Kelley) they better smoke more weed.
the reason they were all healthy was because of Kelly
Did you know that Desir became father at the age of 16?
That’s what Desire will do for you..
Damn, if he had a son there’s a chance they both could be in the NFL at the same time, maybe even the same team.
He has two daughters
Shoots that theory
Bleacher report had a good article on him, small school kid, hell of a story. Mature waaaaay beyond his years. He and his wife made a lot of sacrifices to really do right by their family.
Billy Turner off the board to MIA. Damn.
Took two of my favorite players back to back. I hope Miami defects to Cuba or something.
Look on the bright side, they will be under water in a few years.
Totally investing in “Clean” coal now, for ‘merica
Billy Turner is gone. Jarvis Landry is gone. 3rd round seems pretty bad to me right now.
Moncreif is still on the board, good value in the third? Plus there is still desir which might be nice depth. Plenty of guys left. GET ME CLARKE!!!!!!!
Quick question Tommy, who is your favourite CB at this point? I like Breeland and Desir but are they players you would go for with DL or RB on the board?
i want some speed. i want someone that could be special.. on offense… lets take a chance on Dri Archer!!!
WILDCARD!!!!
How the hell is Nix not taken?
You get him, Bennie can play backup DE and come in on Nickel. Two upgrades in one.
down with that.
Is Crichton a fit for us?
I think Tommy had picked him in one of his mocks.
I thought he had a chance to possibly had we gotten him.
I liked MMartin for us.
And he made a nice transition from ‘Man’ to ‘Mame’.
San Francisco is a run up your butt team- Mike Mayock, ahem, never going to San Francisco…ever
That’s one way to put butts in the seats out there…
Very interesting, Chip says there were 2 guys they were targeting in the 2nd and one of them went (part of the reason they traded up). Who you guys think the 2nd guy was?
Lee
i dont think they wanted Lee, just the way the were talking about medicals in refrence to players they could have picked
The one who went? Lee.
Lee.
Lee?
Well ok, I guess Lee then lol.
“I’m not going to tell you who the 2nd one was, but its not that hard.”
Gotta be Lee.
I wanna linebacker!!
How about Nix and Urban?
So who DON’t we want the Giants to take?
Jerry Ricecake.
Eh. He ran something like a 4.7 40. How good could he be?
Brent Urban?
Is it too much to ask that they take one of our bad ideas off the board, just to be safe?
There u go, Rams did it for u
you just KNOW Chip wanted a guy say will spell Shady all day Saturday then sit all Sunday
Could Louis Nix actually slip into the 80’s???
here’s hoping, how many 3/4 teams are in front of us??
ooooo, sf,was,baltimore all in a row, not a good sign there
Ravens seem like a good fit. Jets are all set with Sheldon Richardson.
Ooooooooo, Mason’s gone.
I’m a fan of Nix at this point. Not first Rd but now.
The question you have to ask about Nix though is why is he falling so far. If there are serious health concerns, that becomes an issue regardless of where you draft him.
True. But he’s still in the 3rd round, that’s hardly red flag territory.
Annnnnnnd I get proven wrong 30 seconds later
I love listening to Chip talk about the draft. Talking about finding all pros in the late rounds… yeah you were smart to get X player in the 6th round, no, if you were smart you would have taken him earlier. Love it.
Gimme c. Jones plz
there goes mason…chip is sad
chris polk is happy
there goes tre mason
Ah, darn. There goes Tre mason. Don’t want a RB at all now.
good, the last thing we need is a RB
So, no RB now, I hope. Mason is gone.
This is the pace the picks should be announced.
Right? It’s starting to actually feel like the draft.
Need one more 3rd round pick–too many good guys still on the board.
Bet 9ers take Nix
nope borland
nice reverse jinx though, applaud the effort
lol
Ixney on the Nix, Hey?
that worked out way better than it should have
LOL, you’re right!
I think the Ravens will be all over Nix.
unfortunately i think you’re right
5 more until we pick
What is the injury concern with Nix?
torn meniscus surgery recovery not going well
He’ll never be able to cut like he used to….
Ah, I like Long
there goes one of our guys, Spencer Long, a little early. Tommy had him in the 4th.
awww terrence brooks is gone. still want bailey doe
wow nix just went by 3 3/4defenses
I’m hoping for Louis Nix. I do have health concerns about him, but I think a 3 is a reasonable investment on him considering his upside. I wouldn’t even view it as benching Logan. The Eagles defense plays so many snaps in Chip’s system that it’s like they need two sets of starters.
I actually would like Desir before Nix if they’re both there.
Both are great picks here
Might be able to get both if we wanted them, but I’d take Nix first with green bay picking after our first pick
don’t they need to replace BJ Raji?
Gave Jackson still around?
yup
dexter mcdougle, any relation to jerome?
There’s a shot.
He’s Jerome’s grandfather.
Jets took someone with Mcdougle as a last name. There’s a doomed pick.
Don’t want anybody named McDougal!
Who is that…?
good ole Jets, can always count on them.
Nix or Desir –one must be there. Some good wideouts still available.
Pierre Desir or Philip Gaines would be phenomenal here.
Trade down. Bet we got a 4th and 5th.
Philly trades pick.
philly traded, dumb
Well apparently we have traded the pick to houston.
To be honest, a lot of guys I like still left. Trade makes sense.
Raiders, Vikings, 49ers killing the draft atm
Wow, no one wants that 83rd pick.
got really mad for a second, then realized we still have the second 3rd rd pick
Houston must want Nix.
We apparently didn’t.
What do I win?!?!?
nix is there, wow
Not surprised we traded back. Makes sense.
What did we get from that trade?
future 2nd
really, nice
haha just kidding tbh no idea
stop playing with my emotions BG!
oh damn you…haha
The Bear Jew does it again!
hey lonnie, we got a nazi here who wants to die for his country, OBLIGE HIM!
high 4 and a 5 makes sense.
101 and 141 (or 4th and 5th)
Wasn’t worth it to be honest.
Absolutely was. Ton of good talent still on the board.
Decent talent you mean?
83rd was the one we got for Manziel. So guess we still have to wait to see what the move from 22 to 26 nets us.
there he goes, nix to houston
Houston takes Nix with our pick.
So Houston has JJ Watt, Clowney and now Nix on their D Line?
Yup…and meanwhile we’re trading up and back.
that’s scary
And their starting QB is Tj Yates, Case Keenum or Ryan Fitzpatrick. I’ll take what we have anyday.
Eagles must not have liked Nix as much as I did. Probably confirms they like the more versatile “Logan” model of nose tackles more than the heavier, traditional nose tackles.
To be honest, it could just be the injury.
It seems that Chip actually tells us the truth. Weird.
Didn’t say he was lying. Just confirmed what we were thinking beforehand. No need to jump all over me, pal.
No, that wasn’t what I meant at all. I am just conditioned to trying to guess the real meaning when Andy talked to the press. The idea that Chip might just tell the truth and let people try to stop him is pretty refreshing.
Ok, I understand. Sorry for misinterpreting. You still have to take what he says with a grain of salt because he has to be deceptive to throw other teams offguard, but it does show that he is much more deliberate in what he does than Andy has ever been.
No problem, tone is tough to convey in text. And I am a little sarcastic, from time to time.
Yeah, after all those years of deciphering Reid-eze.
Didn’t want Nix at all, happy with this trade.
Looks like we got the first pick in the 4th round as well as a 5th for the trade.
omg that is amazing. Howie is killing it
That first pick tomorrow is a great one to have. They have all day to evaluate and listen to offers.
First time the draft value doesnt add up.
However, I think there is value in having the first pick on the third day.
Any idea what we got in that trade?
first picks in 4th and 5th rounds
Seems like great value to me.
101 (4th round) and a 5th rounder…honestly not blown away with the compensation
By the value chart, not great but meh, whatever.
First pick on the third day is very high value, huge trade down bait for a team that thinks there’s a superstar there.
We took the bait last year for Barkley. I like having that pick.
yeah someone got to slide up almost 20 spots for a 5th round draft pick, not sure about that one
Still some really good wide receivers on the board.
Moncrief still available?
yea
2nd year in a row we get the 1st pick of Day 3.
Moncrief or desir?
Id be surprised if that isn’t the case
Desir or Gaines. Lets do this Eagles. C’mon.
CB please
LMFAO WHAT
OUT
woah
ugh!
Boo–they took Huff over MOncreif and Desir.
Ducker, who is a total homer for those guys, said don’t take this guy…yikes
was not expecting that
Ugh
Yea worst day 2 ever,
Is this the 5th round?
no….
I have never liked Huff but Chip has always liked him.
Eagles Draft so far..C-
Studies have shown that seconds after a pick is the best time to grade a draft.
Indeed. it makes the guy 9001% more right
Hah, knew that pick would draw a strong reaction as soon as I saw it.
Terrible pick.
meh
boooooorrriiiiiing
For some reason, I thought I’d be alone in booing. Cheers and a toast to my fellow sufferers.
Ah, I thought you were saying you were bored. I found that odd.
that too.
Here’s the thing, there are alot of better collegiate WRs than Huff who didn’t do anything. Very good chance he’ll be same as that failed KR tiny slot dude who couldn’t play his way steady onto the field…
why the hell didn’t we take Bryant or moncreif?!!?!?!?
I’m gonna go ahead and guess they liked Huff more.
Oregon bias.
Lol you may have something there
I feel Moncreif was better than Huff but what the hell do I know. Huff better get better focus on his routes or he is toast in this offense.
wait a year, get (now retired) Avant to coach him?
Huff actually uses his hands to catch the ball?
I don’t know anything, but it could be because Huff can play the slot, while I wouldn’t expect Bryant or Moncreif to do the same. Jordan Matthews might play the slot this year, but in the future I imagine him going outside.
Also, Huff is a blocker, don’t know how Bryant and Moncreif stacks up with him in that department.
EDT: Also, Huff plays Special Teams and we know Kelly like that
Moncreif stacks up as a blocker but I hear yeh, I need to watch some tape on huff, at least we got our wrs
Can we have a do-over?
Eh, none of us liked Bennie Logan either. Or Ertz really.
They’ve reached on two WRs.
Matthews was not a reach.
Matthews was a reach.
no
He would have been there at 54 along with Latimer and Robinson.
i thought everyone was pumped as shit for ertz
Nah not really. We had Celek, just signed Casey, blah blah blah. It was kind of an eh pick at the time I think.
Everyone loved Ertz because Tommy pumped him up.
I thought the kid was so good he wasnt worth talking about because he wouldnt get out of round one… Thats somegning to be excited about….i would hope people didnt need Tom tl excite them over an obvious stud like ertz
If the Eagles had NOT cut DeSean Jackson, we could have drafted two more top Defense prospects rather than 2 WRs on the second day.
Soooo true. Freaking idiots.
Still puzzling out what Huff has over Moncrief…
hands. literally.
that is true, moncrief’s hands are so suspect
everybody’s speechless……………………
Yeah, so, I just punched a baby.
Oh look Gaines is gone
Yeah, what does Chip Kelly know about offense???
This is a joke… Kirksey gone early. Tre mason didnt make it so we trade the pick away and then draft a 5th round huff instead of a 6’2 220lb 20yr old who runs a 4.4 flat? Moncreif….i would have rather had martevis bryant upside. To take Huff in the 3rd is just a joke…ruined my night…what did we get for trading back with texans?
Me too GEagle. I am bummed. Moncreif had real potential in Chip’s offense. But I guess time will tell. Huff makes plays but needs maturity. We will see.
I dont even hate huff…but round 3?
I do, however.
Lol i hate him for a 3rd round pick…he is like the 25thi WR i would want lol…wtf…i would have rather spent a 3rd on taylor hart if we had to go Oregon…colt lyerla is anbeytr prospect than Huff.. Im confused.
Me too. Hart was one of the best choices. Maybe Billy did not like him??
I love how you had one Duck on your list of do not touch Ducks, and we pick him in the 3rd round, craaaaap
4.1 (101) and 5.1 (141)
So we get the first pick in round 4? And first pick in round 5? Thats good value…rather have taken another pass rusher in will clarke than a round 5 WR.. Cant believe Bromly went in round 3
Eagles got the first pick in the 4th round (101), and pick 141 in the 5th
I don’t mind Huff. As long as he catches 83 balls for 1333 yards and 10 TD’s this year.
DeSean. Aftermath.
I don’t get it, was anybody going to touch Huff? did we really like the depth in this draft or is everyone just taking our picks?
I’m wondering if – at the Combine – Huff slid a manilla envelope full of pictures across the table to Chip Kelly and whispered, “Round 3.”
Chip’s driving a new car. Huh, what’s up?
Chip drafted Huff because he’s Mormon.
Another possibility: Kelly has been rapidly inhaling paint…
He’ll be…back pedaling….in his PC?
I’m going to storm off in a huff now.
Damn straight, so am I.
Chip kelly doesnt like black people
What did the Eagles get in return for their other third round pick?
Pick #101/141
Thanks
More than they got with this one, I hope.
The good news is if Josh scores on a long pass down the seam next year we can call it the Huffington Post.
There goes Clarke, damn.
No offense, but it’s kinda funny that both Jimmy and Tommy are tweeting how much they like Huff. Still I haven’t read much about him from both writers though when discussing the top prospects at WR.
I was reading that Huff lines up all over, likes to block & has “RB LIKE” RAC skills, so MAYBE……
Eagles forgetting they have a defense..
They don’t. That’s the problem.
You don’t win with a good offense and a good defense, you win with a great unit and a unit thats good enough.
Colts season ticket holder making the pick looks radioactively red…
Though I did love him in “Up.”
Ok. I get that this must be a system specific pick. Huff is an ideal guy to have in the locker room who understands what Chip needs from his Wr on and off the field. Don’t see the urgency tho.
I am going to console myself by believing that Chip might have more information that I do on this subject. It is a stretch, but tht is what I’m telling myself.
I’ll join you in believing that far-fetched hooey…
New post up folks
The one thing that’s good about Huff is that Kelly knows what he’s getting, so there’s less projection than you’d usually get with draft picks.
Is he way better than Jeff Maehl? Thought maehl was a beast at oregon, now he can’t catch a ball.
I don’t know anything about Maehl.
Luck gets moncreif..l sigh.. We got Huff a #5 WR/ST player in round 3 WTF!!!
..
I get accused for being an optomist, but no one better dare try and sugar coat this bullshit
Huff is the best special teamer to ever got drafted in the 3rd round. Is that sugarcoating enough!>
Next: Mariota.
You know, Nix might turn out to be Clifton Geather’s BFF and fellow member of the Treat Kittens RIGHT club, but I think he’s a better potential to be useful than Huff.
