Day 3

Posted: May 2nd, 2015 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 634 Comments »

The Eagles have had a good draft so far.

1 – WR Nelson Agholor – USC
2 – CB Eric Rowe – Utah
3 – ILB Jordan Hicks – Texas

Today the Eagles have 4 picks.

4th Rd
6th Rd
6th Rd
7th Rd

That’s not ideal. Using both 5th rounders yesterday hurts. To me, there is a big cut-off from the 5th to the 6th round in most drafts. I expect 5th round picks to make the roster. 6th and 7th round picks I hope make the roster, but can live with them as practice squad players to develop.

The Eagles need OL help and a Safety. They’ll have a tough choice to make today. Do they grab OL T.J. Clemmings if he is still on the board? He has a stress fracture in his foot that is obviously scaring teams away. The 4th round might be a good spot for risk/reward.

The Eagles also think highly of Penn State DB Adrian Amos. While he’s not my cup of tea, Amos has great measurables and fits the Eagles scheme. He is solid value at this point so I could live with that pick.

My favorite OG in the draft is still on the board. I had Mark Glowinski pegged as probably a 5th round pick, but taking him in the mid-4th would be just fine with me. I think he’s an ideal fit for the Eagles. I was happy today to learn that the Eagles have shown interest in him.

There are still some interesting OL on the board. The Eagles went to Oklahoma to check out Williams, Shead and Thompson. None of those guys are good athletes. I struggle to see them in the Eagles offense. I don’t like the FSU star Jackson. I think his teammate Matias is actually the better player.

Jeff Stoutland coached Kouandjio at Bama so that is something to keep in mind. Gibson played LT for Virginia Tech. He is a terrific athlete, but needs a lot of work. I think he would be an excellent fit for the Eagles offense and he could be on the board in the 6th round.

OL TJ Clemmings
OG Mark Glowinski
OL Laurence Gibson
OG Darryl Williams
OG Adam Shead
OG Tyrus Thompson
OG Arie Kouandjio
OG Tre Jackson
OG Josue Matias
OG Jamil Douglas
OL Takoby Cofield
OL Terry Poole
OL Chaz Green
OL Sean Hickey
OL Darryl Baldwin
OL Max Garcia

Small school players of possible interest

OL Cole Manhart – 6-4, 298
OL Jacob Rodgers – 6-6, 315
OG Chad Hamilton – 6-2, 292
OL Mike Coccia – 6-3, 301
OL Ross Hall – 6-4, 294

The Eagles could go for the DB in the 4th and still have some interesting OL choices in the 6th. They obviously wouldn’t be ideal prospects, but there is logic to that strategy since there is more depth at OL than at Safety.

We also have QBs Bryce Petty and Brett Hundley still on the board. Does Chip Kelly like either guy?

* * * * *

Here are some possible Eagles draft targets.

Bryce Petty
Brett Hundley

Jesse James
Ben Koyack
Blake Bell
Nick Boyle
CJ Uzomah
Brian Parker

Rashad Greene
Tre McBride
Kenny Bell
Tony Lippett
Dres Anderson
Vince Mayle
Geremy Davis

TJ Clemmings
Mark Glowinski
Arie Kouandjio
Darryl Williams
Tyrus Thompson
Jamil Douglas
Josue Matias
Laurence Gibson
Terry Poole
Sean Hickey

Corey Crawford
Gabe Wright
Jordan Williams
Travis Raciti
David Parry
BJ McBryde
Caushad Lyons

OLB

Alani Fua
Max Valles
Shaq Riddick
Obum Gwacham
Deion Barnes
Tony Washington

Adrian Amos
Ibraheim Campbell
Cody Prewitt
Kurtis Drummond
James Sample
Cedric Thompson

Doran Grant
Darryl Roberts
Garry Peters
Damian Swann
Randall Evans
Justin Coleman
Cam Thomas

* * * * *

Find a way to get Mark Glowinski and I’ll be a happy man.

Add Glowinski and Clemmings and I’ll be ecstatic.

There is no Safety that I covet. I think Ibraheim Campbell is the guy I like the most of the available players (that make sense for the Eagles).

Once again, action heating up for the #Titans at No. 100, the first pick of the fourth round. Trade is in play.

The #Seahawks are making a big move, talking trading up to the No. 100 spot to lead off the fourth round. Keep an eye on them.

Do they have any picks left?!
4 Greg Richards said at 12:08 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Could be moving player or 2016 picks. If deal gets done.
5 GEAGLE said at 12:16 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Hope we can do a trade with theseahhawks. We need more picks
6 76mustang said at 12:00 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Vince Mayle in the 7th round…
Maybe the Eagles can trade back should the QBs keep falling…
Agree on OL for 4th round – Glowinski please…
7 Bob Brewer said at 12:03 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I’m glad they spent the 5th round picks though to get Rowe.
8 ACViking said at 12:05 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Ok. Time for commercials
9 DamonL86 said at 12:06 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Last time we will see a team with time on the clock.

Apart from 4 O linemen for the Eagles today I want sex all day long. Thanks.

He was brilliant in that movie.
14 Anders said at 12:09 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Grab clemmings then trade up for glow or trade Boykin for a pick
15 ACViking said at 12:10 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Utterly painful
16 Greg Richards said at 12:11 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Is it okay today to spoil non-Eagles picks? I can’t tell if it has been announced on TV yet. It’s updated on the NFL.com tracker.
17 McNabbulousness said at 12:11 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
just dont spoil the eagles pick
18 GermanEagle said at 12:12 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
If you know me you know the answer. Lol.
Joking aside, I really don’t care. 😉
19 mksp said at 12:13 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yeah, things are going to be wild today, just let us see the Eagles pick announced.
20 GEAGLE said at 12:15 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
It’s ok to post whatever the hell u want.. This is a public site
21 mksp said at 12:15 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
That’s not how it works.
Sentiments like this is why people hate you.
22 Greg Richards said at 12:16 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yes, but one should try to conduct themselves in a respectful matter taking the opinions of others into consideration.
23 Greg Richards said at 12:12 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Titans take DT Angelo Blackson of Auburn with the first pick of Round 4.
24 McNabbulousness said at 12:13 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
tre flowers to the pats
25 Greg Richards said at 12:14 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Raiders traded pick to Panthers. So, Panthers will take 3 players in this draft? 4 maybe?
26 Greg Richards said at 12:15 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Panthers take G/T Daryl Williams. Could have been an Eagles’ target.
27 GermanEagle said at 12:16 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Pats with 4 picks so far: 3 DL and 1 S. Guess you don’t need offense with Tom Brady.
28 Greg Richards said at 12:17 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
They may have taken Grissom as a TE.
29 McNabbulousness said at 12:16 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
there goes daryl williams
30 Mitchell said at 12:16 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I think Williams was the guy groping Hicks on the Oklahoma tape.
31 GEAGLE said at 12:17 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I think Ibrahim Campbell is the most special player available, but I view Rowe as a safety more then a CB, so I’m Not sure if we need to draft another safety, but I wouldn’t mind…
…
What happened to all the posters that said drafting Hundley In round 1 would be great value? Lol sheep Baaaaaaah Baaaaaah
32 Jernst said at 12:18 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
It’s so crazy to me that 2 weeks ago we were all debating the merits of taking Brett Hundley at 20th overall. I thought it was a good piece by D3FB, but boy am I glad we avoided that reach at this point. Who would have thought Grayson and Mannion would go WAY before either Petty or Hundley?
33 mksp said at 12:19 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
We were also debating taking Clemmings in the 1st Round.
That’s why the NFL is the NFL, and we’re fans.
With that said, would love to get him at #113. I stand by my opinion that Hundley can be a successful QB in Chip’s system.
34 GermanEagle said at 12:20 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Never actually liked Hundley to be honest.
35 GEAGLE said at 12:23 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Hundley sucked two weeks ago -and he sucks now
36 Greg Richards said at 12:18 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Jets traded up with Jacksonville. Maybe today is trade day.
37 Crus57 said at 12:18 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Lots of bored GMs over the last couple of days I guess
38 EagleNebula said at 12:18 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
How far will petty and hundley fall, and a what point would it be worth taking them?
39 McNabbulousness said at 12:19 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
for us, udfa
40 GEAGLE said at 12:22 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
If he goes undrafted, I wouldn’t mind
41 Greg Richards said at 12:20 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Petty just taken by Jets. Moved up one spot to secure him.
42 mksp said at 12:21 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yep. Thank god, did not want him in Philly.
43 McNabbulousness said at 12:21 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
oh snap, geno just lost his job
44 GEAGLE said at 12:28 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Doubt it. GENO sucks but it will take a few years before you can put Petty in an NFL game. I love Petty, but as a project.. No way he can play next year
45 GEAGLE said at 12:21 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Shame The baby born to the murdered woman passed away yesterday… That’s a damn shame, this kid better not have anything to do with this disgusting story.
…
He is a murder suspect who police are patiently waiting to talk to on Monday? No urgency for what may be a murder suspect?
…
What a horrible story, and I really hope Collins isn’t involved in something so disgusting
46 mksp said at 12:21 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
QB situation should be fun in New York this summer.
47 McNabbulousness said at 12:22 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
fun for those who aren’t jets fans!
48 Crus57 said at 12:23 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
wonder which one we get to see most of in pre-season game 4?
49 GermanEagle said at 12:24 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Wonder who’s starting in week 3 of the regular season !!
50 Crus57 said at 12:25 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Might be the same answer to both questions!
51 mksp said at 12:23 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Jags having another strong draft. I wonder when they’ll start making some noise.
52 Greg Richards said at 12:25 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Jaguars take S James Sample
Redskins take WR Jamison Crowder
53 Lewwyn said at 12:25 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
What would people say to packaging the two 6th rounders to move up into the 5th? If that enables you to get maybe a slightly better prospect do you go for it or keep the two 6s and hope you get a better shot at one panning out?
54 GermanEagle said at 12:30 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Go for the 5th round pick! Who needs another 2 ILBs in the 6th round?
55 McNabbulousness said at 12:25 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
ooooooooooooo, the jags stadium has a pool! now i have a reason for wanting to visit jacksonville!
56 GEAGLE said at 12:27 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
$10,000 per game for a 4 person Cabana pool side with all you can eat food and drinks… 10 grand to watch the Jags? LOL
57 McNabbulousness said at 12:29 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
you couldn’t pay me 10k to go to that stadium, still angry about the super bowl that happened there. i even get angry looking at the super bowel logo from that year
58 Nailed it! said at 12:27 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Damnit Crowder to the Skins
59 GEAGLE said at 12:27 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Bryce Petty is such a better 4th round QB project then Barkley was….
60 Greg Richards said at 12:28 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Bears take RB Jeremy Langford
Falcons take WR Justin Hardy
Titans take FB Jalston Fowler
61 GEAGLE said at 12:30 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Who is sitting on this blog not watching the draft, that we need to post every single pick made?
62 Bob Brewer said at 12:31 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Me.
63 Greg Richards said at 12:31 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Don’t have cable and NFL.com isn’t streaming for some reason even though other video can

Why did #Jets trade up with the #Jaguars just one spot to take Bryce Petty? Because… the #Jaguars had an offer from the #Browns for him
77 GermanEagle said at 12:34 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
And the Jags preferred the Jets 7th round pick to Johnny Football?!.
78 Mitchell said at 12:35 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Clemmings gone.
79 KAJomo said at 12:35 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Is Hundley too good to pass up at this point for Chip?
80 mksp said at 12:35 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I’m rooting for him.
81 GEAGLE said at 12:37 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I don’t think he is “too good” for anything
82 mksp said at 12:35 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Clemmings! Minnesota.

damnit! I wanted Clemmings really badly
90 oreofestar said at 12:38 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Obviously we didn’t though
91 Jernst said at 12:41 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
We could have thought he’d drop to us. It’s not like we have a lot of picks left to trade up with. Although, I would have taken him in round three over a 5th ILB for our roster.
92 Greg Richards said at 12:37 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Tre Jackson to Patriots.
93 GEAGLE said at 12:38 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Wonder if stoutland has us go the arie Kouandjo route?

Edit: Bryce Brown pick.

We didn’t trade up
100 Lewwyn said at 12:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Nah that’s our pick from the Bryce brown trade.
101 mksp said at 12:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Neither network is really “announcing” picks anymore. They’re just popping up on the ticker on ESPN.

Eagles on the clock.

With clemmings gone I think I want hundley

How far back did we go?
128 KAJomo said at 12:43 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Any word on what we got from DET
129 oreofestar said at 12:43 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Don’t know the trade, maybe we got a lineman from Detroit?
130 mksp said at 12:43 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Detroit doesn’t have a 4th, so musth be back to the 5th.

yeah i gotta wait a whole hour. anyone know what we got in return?
134 Greg Richards said at 12:43 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Detroit didn’t have a 4th. They have 168 and 200 but that’s not enough. Maybe a 2016 pick included.
135 Insomniac said at 12:43 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Where are we picking in the 4th?
136 Nailed it! said at 12:44 PM on May 2nd, 2015:

Wow.
#Eagles acquire 3rd round pick in 2016 from Detroit for a 2015 4th round pick (113).
139 Greg Richards said at 12:44 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
We traded pick straight up for Lions’ 2016 3rd round pick. Hope we trade some players to get more picks today.
140 GEAGLE said at 12:48 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Hell no… Trade players for what 5th Round picks? Why? God no
141 ICDogg said at 12:44 PM on May 2nd, 2015:

153 SteveH said at 12:45 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Wow, we must really not like the mid round guys this year. I like getting an extra 3rd next year but not picking again until the 6th round !!
154 Greg Richards said at 12:45 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Understand getting 3rd next year since we’re without our 2nd, but I want more picks today.
155 anon said at 12:45 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
our draft could basically be over. they said there were only a handful of players. if you’re taking a 3rd next year and have no 5th round picks…
156 GEAGLE said at 12:46 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I feel you
157 Alistair Middlemiss said at 12:45 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Getting another pick for 2016 makes sense with the fact that we are missing a 2nd round due to bradford.
158 mksp said at 12:45 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yep.
This is the type of annoying trade that smart teams make.
159 SteveH said at 12:46 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Investing in the future… At the end of the day whether it was a good trade depends on who we would have taken here, compared to what we get next year.
160 Frencheaglesfan said at 12:46 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
so three third round next year?
161 Insomniac said at 12:46 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Just two.
162 Frencheaglesfan said at 12:46 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
didn’t the rams give us a 3rd?

176 KAJomo said at 12:49 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
No big deal. We are set this year. OL will be a priority in FA and/or draft next offseason.
177 Jernst said at 12:58 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Barbre is a question mark at RG, Mathis is potentially holding out, and with the oldest projected starting line in the league without adequate depth, it’s silly to expect that there won’t be any injuries. Even one injury could completely throw our offense off the rails. That’s not “set” at all. If everyone of our starters plays all 16 games, and Barbre turns out to be a decent starter for the first time in his career at 31 years old, then yea I guess we’re set. But, that’s a lot of big ifs.
178 SteveH said at 12:47 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Jesus, I know BPA and all that but we really need to invest in our future at OL.

then stop picking damn inside line backers
181 SteveH said at 12:47 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
So we aren’t getting any OL until at least the 6th round… surprising, considering the age of our line. We better hope Peters and Mathis continue to age gracefully!
182 McNabbulousness said at 12:47 PM on May 2nd, 2015:

We better hope the OL stays healthy this year. Doesn’t matter who you’ve got at RB if the OL can’t block.
186 Mitchell said at 12:48 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Perhaps Chip is higher on our current OL then we are.
187 SteveH said at 12:49 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Considering how they played last year I can’t imagine why he would be.
188 wee2424 said at 12:49 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
You just said exactly what I was going to say.
189 GEAGLE said at 12:50 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
You Didnt get to see them in a healthy situation conducive to success… Remember they were the best 2nd string OL in the preseason last year they were dominant
190 SteveH said at 12:51 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
They’re backups, their job description is to come into situations not conducive to their success.
Also, they were great in preseason? Really?
191 GEAGLE said at 1:00 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
l trust me dude, big big difference between being a backup coming into a game, and being a backup who finds himself lining up next to a different player every week… You did NOT see the best they had to offer last year, especially since they are young, and still improving players.
..
Heck we act like we think we know guys like Kendricks and Cox, but those kids are still growing and improving, I’m sure we haven’t even seen their best yet…
192 Jernst said at 12:53 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Cohesion is super important on the oline. But, mostly with communication and setting the protections and making sure free rushers don’t get through. But, even when they executed all the basics correctly the majority of our backups simply got over matched and man handled by the lineman they were blocking. Molk was consistently driven backwards, as were Tobin, Kelly and Gardner. They certainly didn’t look to have the skills regardless of situation.
193 GEAGLE said at 12:49 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
They are much better then we saw last year, with the exception of Molk who isn’t an NFL player
194 oreofestar said at 12:49 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I mean I wish he just tool Clemmings in the 3rd but what lineman that’s left is worth a 3rs rounder
195 Corry said at 12:51 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I dunno. According to Schefter, Clemmings has a stress fracture in his foot that cannot be repaired with surgery so his career longevity is in question as his availability this year.
Knowing that now, i think I understand why they wouldn’t pick him.
196 Jernst said at 12:55 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
We know he had an old, already healed stress fracture. Schefter just said stress fractures in general can cause those things you listed above and can be hard to fix surgically. But, most stress fractures, particularly one’s that have already healed do not lead to full fractures and don’t require surgery at all.
197 GEAGLE said at 12:57 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Recent sports medicine, believes their is a direct correlation with weight and that injury… For example, The Sixers are dealing with a navicular stress fracture in Embiid’s foot and their research suggests, keeping him at 275lbs and not let him get to 300lbs is crucial for his future,.. Allegedly 300lbs is the Kiss of death with that injury
198 Jernst said at 1:01 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
This is absolutely true. And it’s not just a believe it’s just physics and a fact. The more weight the more stress on the bones in the lower extremities, the higher the incidence of that stress causing the bone to develop stress fractures. Foot issues in a 320 pound guy are definitely concerning. But, an old stress fracture that’s already healed and calcified is a lot less of an issue than an active crack that’s not healing and might worsen or develop an actual fracture. This one already resolved and healed without him experiencing any pain or issues from it. That’s a lot less concerning.
199 GEAGLE said at 1:04 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
The SIXERS did a big study, and they looked at the centers who had careers cut short, like Yao and Todd McCollough, and they concluded that the Bigmen who also had to fight weight issues, often had their career cut short by the injury, and that Bigs who kept their weight down, were able to have long careers for the most part at least
200 GEAGLE said at 1:05 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
And pain means nothing,. It’s not uncommon for a player to not even know. He has a stress fracture,… For example, Embiid NEVER felt pain, he had no idea he had a stress fracture in his foot, and we kept him out of action for over a year to give him a chance to heal… I wouldn’t touch.clemmings. And I think he was over rated on this site but whatever, not my problem
201 Jernst said at 2:13 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Pain doesn’t necessarily mean nothing. Pain can be a very reliable symptom of severity. Embiid never felt pain, and he’s going to be fine now that it’s healed. That’s significant. He caught it before it got worse and subsequently developed pain. He was able to sit for a year, let it heal and then take measures to prevent it from happening again.
No pain means that the stress fracture never progressed to something serious. The fact that it was calcified and an old healed stress fracture, indicates that it was able to resolve even with him playing football everyday. Those are all good signs. Overall, everything you’re saying is absolutely true.
Again, I’m agreeing with you, just trying to add some context to the discussion. I’m not just pulling things out of my arse either. I’m a doctor and for years was planning on going into orthopedics before switching tracks late in the process. I know what I’m talking about when I talk about stress fractures.
202 Jernst said at 2:08 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I’m agreeing with you by the way
203 Corry said at 12:57 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Schefter made it sound like it’s still an issue (or a new stress fracture).
204 Jernst said at 1:10 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
The report that came out from the medical exams around the combine are that it was incidentally found during some sort of radiographic imaging (not sure what types of scans or xrays they submit the players to in their exams). They said it was an old, already healed area of calcification that appears to be a resolved stress fracture. The issue is that it might be a one time thing that’s done and resolved or he could be prone to this happening. His foot bones can’t handle the stress of his weight plus the pounding of football and these will become chronic issues. It’s not currently an issue, but it has the potential to effect his ability to play long term, his longevity, his ability to handle the long season without developing these and IF these things develop and then IF they don’t heal and get worse they can progress to a full fracture of the bone, which is extremely difficult to fix surgically due to poor blood flow and healing in the foot. The treatment for stress fractures is just 1-6 weeks of rest, anti-inflammatory meds and then gradually ramping up your excercising. They’re caused when you rapidly increase the amount of stress on your bones. Your bones continually turn over, they break down and rebuild all day every day. Usually the break down and the rebuild are equal and the bone stays healthy. If you rapidly increase the amount of stress and hence break down of the bone, before your body can adapt to that level of stress the rebuilding lags behind and the bone weakens and small micro cracks appear (stress fracture). If you rest, they go away. If you increase your exercise slowly the body adapts and increases the rebuilding of the bone process to compensate and they don’t occur. So either he ramped up his exercising too fast at some point in the last few years, and then eventually the issue resolved and he’s fine now, or his body simply cannot rebuild the bones fast enough given his weight and the stress of playing football under that weight and these things will recur again and again and cause him issues throughout his career. The point is no one knows which it will be. But, the fact that it was an already healed lesion, no active disease, and caused him no problems or symptoms, is a good sign that it’s not a chronic issue.
205 GermanEagle said at 12:49 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
So the Eagles goal was to pick at least 8 times in this year’s draft.
They can only achieve this by trading players now.

Washington jacked Arie Kouandijo right before our pick.
210 Jernst said at 12:50 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I’m a big fan of trading a pick for another pick that’s a round higher the following year. There’s a big difference between 3rd and 4th round picks. I’m always surprised teams don’t take those deals more often.
At least we know Chip feels comfortable that he’ll be here for 2 more years. However, I’m legitimately scared of our oline depth. An injury or two anywhere on our offensive line could completely alter our offenses ability to operate as it should. Our fragile and relatively immobile QB really needs some attention spent on our Oline. I’m just so surprised that we haven’t addressed oline for two straight years.
Let’s hope Chip has something else up his sleeve to address the Oline otherwise this could really come back to bite us. At this point I’d trade Boykin straight up for a decent starter at OG.
211 GEAGLE said at 12:52 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I’m also a fan, but to not make a pick in between Rounds 3 and 6 iS something I can’t support

Tampa Bay traded up and took LB Kwon Alexander
Ravens take RB Javorious Allen
49ers take RB Mike Davis

Rachel Nichols and Michelle Beadle being blocked from covering the fight by Mayweather tonight
291 GEAGLE said at 1:18 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Really? Smh
292 anon said at 1:19 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
no hotties?
293 GEAGLE said at 1:19 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
They aren’t THAT hot,,, they are just hot compared to the dude counterparts
294 Joe Minx said at 1:20 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Rachel Nichols is
295 GEAGLE said at 1:21 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Meh
296 anon said at 1:23 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
i’d be down for the menage since they have nothing better to do tonight
297 GEAGLE said at 1:27 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I like Beadle more cuz she seems like a cool chick… But as for looks, meh… I wouldn’t cheat on my lady for eithet.. And that’s really how I judge hot famous chicka, by my “would I cheat on my girl meter” lol
298 Greg Richards said at 1:19 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Because they’ve actually called Mayweather on his past
299 anon said at 1:20 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
well what else would the expect
300 GEAGLE said at 1:20 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Kind of stupid consisting even men and espn outside the lines were calling mayweather out for beating woman
301 Joe Minx said at 1:19 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
F that
302 Greg Richards said at 1:20 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Cowboys take ILB Damien Wilson. Thought he’d be 7th rder/UDFA. In their defense, everyone laughed when they took Anthony Hitchens in the 4th last year and he played well.
303 ICDogg said at 1:20 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Do they have one of the worst mascots of all time or what?
304 Joe Minx said at 1:21 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I wanna slap that stupid smile off its face
305 Mitchell said at 1:22 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
The mascot or Romo? Romo could use a good slap.
306 Joe Minx said at 1:23 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Both
307 mksp said at 1:20 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Jordan Hicks pick may end up being prescient. Last real ILB talent on the board by many accounts. We’ll see.

311 GEAGLE said at 1:25 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
For what? eagles should just draft the kid anyway at this point In round 6… Who cares if we waste a 6th?
312 ICDogg said at 1:27 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
#Eagles asked by sports agent not to draft OT La'El Collins. Collins not a suspect but will be questioned in death of estranged girlfriend.— Bob Grotz (@BobGrotz) May 2, 2015
313 GEAGLE said at 1:29 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Screw his agent..he asked, and we declined… Draft the damn kid!!!
314 GEAGLE said at 1:30 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Unless you plan on drafting a Tom Brady with our 6th round pick, his Talemt is worth the flier
315 ICDogg said at 1:32 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I would take the chance.
316 GEAGLE said at 1:35 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
It’s not like he is singling us out… I’m sure his agent asked me very team who called him not to draft him, but so what… Draft him, and when he looks around at our OL depth and gets here, good chance he changes his mind, shuts up and cashes the check…..mand if not, we wasted1 of 2 6th round picks taking a flier on one of the top offensive linemans n the entire draft… Well worth the risk of wasted pick and the headache with his agent…
…
If Monday he becomes a suspect, you don’t sigń him. No big deal
317 GEAGLE said at 1:23 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Still can’t believe the Packers took. My dude Ty MOntgomery in round 3….epic reach!
318 Greg Richards said at 1:26 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
If the Eagles don’t take any OL and Collins goes undrafted so he has to sign somwhere then the Eagles’ depth chart will look pretty attractive to him when making his decision where to sign with. That’s assuming of course that he’s cleared.
319 anon said at 1:27 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
wishful thinking but i’m there with you. i think we could move into the 5th.
could hundley go this round.
320 Greg Richards said at 1:27 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Packers took Jake Ryan. There’s their ILB. I had the Eagles taking him in the 5th in my final mock.
321 GEAGLE said at 1:28 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Same.. I had him as our target as well for the inside/outside versatility
322 Joe Minx said at 1:30 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Poole was a guy we liked
323 Greg Richards said at 1:31 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
A lot of these OL who have gone lately were rated lower. Really hoping Glowinski or Garcia are available in the 6th round.
324 ICDogg said at 1:34 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
there goes Garcia
325 Corry said at 1:47 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Glowinski is gone too.
326 GEAGLE said at 1:32 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Who are the Texans starting at QB this year? Is Obrien still holding out for Hackenburg or whatever his name is? TCU Boykin is the better QB…
327 McNabbulousness said at 1:33 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
hackenburg isn’t in the draft
328 GEAGLE said at 1:36 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I meant next year,. If he was in the draft, I assume he would have took him a while ago
329 Greg Richards said at 1:33 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
They signed Brian Hoyer. Will compete with Mallett.
330 GEAGLE said at 1:36 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
That’s right they did get Hoyer…
331 ICDogg said at 1:34 PM on May 2nd, 2015:

334 Greg Richards said at 1:34 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Pats take C/G Shaq Mason
49ers take WR DeAndre Smelter
335 Greg Richards said at 1:35 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Eagles Draft Live is coming back on. Does that mean Eagles acquired a pick? No, it’s the PCs for Rowe and Hicks.
336 Greg Richards said at 1:35 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Damn, the Broncos took Max Garcia.
337 BreakinAnklez said at 1:36 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
This is f’ing painful. Talent flying off the board and all we can do is sit on our hands
338 McNabbulousness said at 1:38 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
hey man we got an extra 3rd next year, just hold on to that
339 BreakinAnklez said at 1:44 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
That’s sure gonna help us this year…
340 Joe Minx said at 1:37 PM on May 2nd, 2015:

Glowinski gone
343 McNabbulousness said at 1:38 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
344 Baloophi said at 1:38 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Glowinski? GlowOUTski.
345 Alistair Middlemiss said at 1:38 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yeah so OL is not happening this year.
346 Greg Richards said at 1:38 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Lesson: If you want an OL you need to overdraft them even if there are higher guys on the board.
347 Mitchell said at 1:38 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Manzc still there boys.
348 Greg Richards said at 1:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Would be good fit in 6th actually. Injury concerns could drop him there.
349 Alistair Middlemiss said at 1:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
So 2016 Draft needs for Eagles – will be OL/OL/TE lol ^^
350 McNabbulousness said at 1:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
and probably S again
351 Mitchell said at 1:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
That’s fine with me. Hopefully Tobin or Barbre is a revelation and we don’t need one so badly.
352 FairOaks said at 1:40 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
And Mathis stays good and holds out again but then comes to play again?
353 GEAGLE said at 1:41 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Think it’s safer to say Mahis is staying and everyone running their mouths about us foolishly trading away our talent is full of ish…
354 FairOaks said at 1:42 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Oh, I think he’s staying this year. Less sure about next year. And at this point we’re drafting for next year.
355 GEAGLE said at 1:43 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yeah we certainly can’t count on him much longer, but I feel like all the talk has just been bullshit, hardball game of chicken that we were playng with Mathis and his agent
356 GEAGLE said at 1:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
LEAL COLLINS!!!! DO IT! BArry FInkle says Do It! johnny Walker Neat, Do It! do It!

The steal of the draft
357 McNabbulousness said at 1:40 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
at this point if he’s there in the sixth i don’t see why not
358 GEAGLE said at 1:41 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
DO IT! Lol
359 BreakinAnklez said at 1:47 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Fine with me
360 ICDogg said at 1:40 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Maybe it’s time to think about making a trade for a veteran
361 Greg Richards said at 1:40 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Maybe, some guys still out there in FA that are serviceable – Rob Sims for one
362 ICDogg said at 1:42 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
There are, I’m sure, a few decent veterans available as a result of new draft talent on those teams. We could use a 6th or 7th to trade for one.
363 GEAGLE said at 1:42 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Not crazy to see a UDFA OL show some potential
364 ICDogg said at 1:42 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Adrian Amos, Brett Hundley, Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Rashad Greene, Sean Hickey.
365 NinjaP said at 1:42 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
So we will need 3 new OL in next years draft. Way to go chip.
366 Joe Minx said at 1:43 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Chip about to speak on NFLN
367 BreakinAnklez said at 1:44 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Ask why he hates the OL!!!
368 McNabbulousness said at 1:44 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
chip kelly is going to be on NFLN
369 ICDogg said at 1:44 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Rowe says he doesn’t care that much about whether he is corner or safety, but there’s a different way of playing each position, a different mentality, and he doesn’t want to be moving back and forth.
370 GEAGLE said at 1:46 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
My money is on him playing safety, because I think the nolan vs walter competition will provide a better starting CB then people realize right now..
371 Greg Richards said at 1:48 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Don’t do me like you did Marcus
372 GEAGLE said at 1:45 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Titans got David Cobb, like that tiny lil RB
373 nickross23 said at 1:47 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
David Cobb is definitely not tiny
374 GEAGLE said at 1:47 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
5’9?
375 Greg Richards said at 1:48 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Short, stocky
376 GEAGLE said at 1:49 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Considering I’m 6’3 and stocky, he is tiny…
377 ChaosOnion said at 1:50 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Everything I see says 5’11, 229.
378 nickross23 said at 1:51 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Same
379 nickross23 said at 1:50 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
5’11 229
380 Mitchell said at 1:46 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Hundley still not picked. Wow
381 GEAGLE said at 1:46 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Why? Because he runs fast?
382 GEAGLE said at 1:47 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Have no clue what anyone sees in him
383 Joe Minx said at 1:47 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
He runs fast
384 GEAGLE said at 1:48 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Basically… People love punt returner skills in their eagle QBs for some strange reason
385 Mitchell said at 1:56 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
That’s exactly why.
386 mksp said at 2:01 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
He doesn’t even run that fast. He spins it though.
Someone will get a steal with him.
387 Mitchell said at 4:21 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I was being sarcastic with him.
388 ChaosOnion said at 1:47 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Chip on NFLN.
389 OregonDucker said at 1:55 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Loved that interview and banter. Classic Chip stuff.
390 Joe Minx said at 1:48 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Really liked Greene
391 Greg Richards said at 1:49 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Rashad Greene to Jaguars. Awesome fit as slot WR.
392 GEAGLE said at 1:50 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Thought the Bucs would have taken him
393 Baloophi said at 1:51 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Per Chip, tried to move up even higher in the 2nd for Rowe.
394 ACViking said at 1:57 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Interesting.
Too bad we can’t find out whether he could have traded down and still had Rowe on the board.
395 GEAGLE said at 1:53 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Few months later but now the media finally has to accept the fact that chip kelly really likes Sam Bradford…
396 Jernst said at 1:57 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
He was always option 1B if the price for Mariota was anywhere close to what it ended up being. I think Chip is being honest that he inquired. Gave it probably a harder push than he’s obviously letting on. No need to make Bradford and others feel like they’re unwanted. But, he knew all along that he was content with Bradford as the starter if the price for Mariota was too high, which it obviously was going to be. He knew he didn’t want to continue with Nick Foles and got the best upgrade he could. Nothing more the guy can do. We’re a better team with Bradford over Foles.
397 Joe Minx said at 1:53 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
WAS having a really nice draft
398 ACViking said at 1:56 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
JM:
Who’ve they added since 1st rd?
399 Joe Minx said at 2:00 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Just off the top of my head Matt Jones, Preston Smith, Jamison Crowder, & Martrell Spaight. Might have missed 1.
400 BreakinAnklez said at 2:01 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Preston Smith, Koundajo
401 Joe Minx said at 2:01 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yep, forgot Kouandjio.
402 ICDogg said at 1:54 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Chip already calling Tim Tebow “Timmy”.
403 Andy Six Score and Four said at 1:55 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Also said that they have great confidence in Sam, Mark and Matt and those will be our 3 quarterbacks moving forward.
404 ACViking said at 1:55 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
So what’s Tebow doing here?
405 FairOaks said at 1:56 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
“Competing for a job”
406 ACViking said at 1:56 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
thx
407 ChaosOnion said at 1:56 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
FB/TE/Wildcat QB
408 Andy Six Score and Four said at 1:56 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Chip backpedalled when asked, said he’d compete. The real answer, imo, is exactly what Sanchez earlier. Throw to receivers while Sam heals up, since Kinne won’t be available in that role this year.
409 GEAGLE said at 2:01 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
TEBOW is here because GJ Kinney told chip he doesn’t want to play QB so he can compete and try to make the team as a ST player and Swiss Army knife role on offense .. Had to replace Kinneys camp arm
410 Mitchell said at 1:55 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Chip called Rowe a cb a couple times for those of you pining for a position clue.
411 jpate said at 1:56 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I noticed that but that just can’t make much sense we have a giant hole in safety and log jam of bodies at CB unless watkins is moving to safety
412 Mitchell said at 1:57 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
That’s kinda what I’m thinking.
413 NinjaP said at 1:57 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I thought watkins bulked up to play safety this year, wasn’t that reported a few days ago.
414 jpate said at 1:58 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
That was more of his thoughts not the coaching staff
415 Andy Six Score and Four said at 1:58 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Or we have a giant hole at CB and a huge logjam at safety. Wolff, Watkins, Couplin then some ST guys.
416 ChaosOnion said at 1:59 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Ed Reynolds is still there, too.
417 Andy Six Score and Four said at 2:00 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
knew I was forgetting someone.
418 jpate said at 1:59 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Still don’t see a giant hole we got carroll and thurmond not great but at least proven veteran unlike the safeties
419 Andy Six Score and Four said at 2:03 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Some think Thurmond is more of a slot corner, and I have just as much confidence in Wolff and Watkins as I do in Carroll.
I just don’t think our strength in one of those positions is that much different from the other to where that’d be the deciding factor. You play him where you think he’ll be best, which appears to be CB.
I just hope they don’t keep him on the bench because of the contract they gave Thurmond. As of now, I don’t think that will happen. I’m sure I’ll flip flop on that several times… before dinner.
420 Mac said at 2:01 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Wolff supposed healthy and ready to go as well
421 GEAGLE said at 1:56 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I heard a few different interpretations, but I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder
422 FairOaks said at 1:56 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Did mention his position versatility a couple times though.
423 Greg Richards said at 1:57 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Not a huge push for 3rd OLB
Not a huge push at S if we assume Rowe is a CB
Depending a lot on Smith and Watkins which is somewhat surprising as some thought that they were Howie’s guys and Kelly wasn’t enamored with them.
424 NinjaP said at 2:01 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Watkins was a great athlete that could play any secondary spot. He is clearly a chip guy.
425 Greg Richards said at 2:03 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Roseman has the University of Florida connection.
426 BreakinAnklez said at 1:57 PM on May 2nd, 2015:

that was such a great comment. Chip handles the media pretty well.
430 Alistair Middlemiss said at 2:01 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Chip hands down lessons to school kids pretending to be media guys. I would like him to smack down #ESP at some point.

That would make me so happy

Draft is a joke…what the hell is so bad about following the draft and showing each pick announced? How is this broadcast better? They completely butchered entire day 3 of the draft….. This is horrible. I’m not even going to watch day 3 next year… What a joke

After we aren’t drafting anyone all day, if we spend a 6th on Hundley I might throw up… Need to draft Lael Collins
438 Joe Minx said at 2:07 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I don’t see us doing that
439 ICDogg said at 2:07 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Hundley would be great value even now
440 GEAGLE said at 2:08 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Not unless he wants to move to punt returner
441 GEAGLE said at 2:08 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
If he didn’t run fast you wouldn’t even know his name I bet
442 Greg Richards said at 2:07 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Giants just took a Texas S who the beat writers who cover Texas thinks sucks. Mykelle Thompson. So, it’s probably a great pick.
443 Alistair Middlemiss said at 2:07 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Ok Giants just jumped the shark – who the hell is MYKKELE THOMPSON?

455 Andy Six Score and Four said at 2:13 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
No wonder the stores refused to carry Bradford jerseys.
456 Joe Minx said at 2:13 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Butt ugliest thing I’ve ever seen
457 GEAGLE said at 2:14 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I can’t believe anyone made such a hideous piece of shit for any reason whatsoever…
458 ACViking said at 2:14 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
fortunately, whatever it is, it’s not by Nike . . . which means it’s just a Christmas sweater
459 Jernst said at 2:15 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
ew that’s atrocious
460 GEAGLE said at 2:17 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
They gave it the Russian mobster star tattoos on the front of the shoulders bwahahahah ..put them on the knees of the pants while we are at it, so everyone will know we,kneel to NO man, Aleksander Sasha Emelienenko style!
461 Jernst said at 2:34 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
the whole thing is mind numbingly terrible. There’s little silver snow flakes on the shoulders, what appears to be angel wings coming out of the shoulder blades on the back that are so far apart you can’t even make out what they are, the ridiculous bridge across the front, the cheesey tattoo symbols on the front breast like we’re a trailor park mamma, the Hawaiian tribal symbols across the bottom…what the hell are you going for?
Someone presented this in front of other people and convinced them to spend money making this!! It’s just inconceivable to me that a bunch of people sat in a room somewhere and looked at this prototype and were like, “YES! Frank you nailed it!! This is just the type of thing we were looking for to nab that ever elusive Polynesian, russian mobster, Philadelphia-based, Cosby sweater aficionado demographic. Get this prototype to the factory immediately.”
462 Baloophi said at 2:16 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Looks like they bet on the Eagles taking a QB from Hawaii… and lost.
463 GEAGLE said at 2:18 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Looks like they bet on us drafting russian mobster to me
464 Mac said at 2:23 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
It’s less retarded looking than a Nnamdi Asomugha jersey

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!! It’s gorgeous!
466 Joe Minx said at 2:12 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Look at the Giants fans cheering like they have any idea who that is
467 Greg Richards said at 2:13 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Brett Hundley to Packers. They have time to develop him. Good pick.
468 mksp said at 2:14 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Great pick.
469 Greg Richards said at 2:15 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I think he’s high risk/high reward. I didn’t want to take him in top 3 rounds because I don’t think he’s likely to be a franchise QB but he has the physical skill set but needs time to learn how to be a QB. No risk for Packers in Round 5 with an established starter.
470 Tdoteaglefan said at 2:23 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yup, great pick. He could develop well behind the best QB in the league, won’t have to start as soon as he probably would if he came here, wish him the best of luck
471 mksp said at 2:14 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
We’re gonna regret not taking him when we had a chance.
472 Jernst said at 2:15 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I guess they’ll sit Hundley for 6 years to eventually take over for Rogers.
473 Alistair Middlemiss said at 2:17 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Develop him for 2-3 years and then flip him for a 2 in 2018, after a couple of mind blowing pre season games. Great for Packers and great for Brett to be honest.
474 mksp said at 2:17 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yeah agreed.
475 mksp said at 2:14 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Packers trade up to take Hundley.
476 jpate said at 2:16 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Rodgers just demanded a trade
477 Alistair Middlemiss said at 2:17 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
off Bradford straight up? worse case we can add that 2016 3rd rounder.
478 Jernst said at 2:18 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
43 picks until we’re on the board again…ugh this is terrible. I’ve been on a constant downward swing since the 3rd round

Kind of like us not taking OL huh?

Well 3rd round picks next year are more important duh
493 Alistair Middlemiss said at 2:31 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Well there is a good chance reaching for an OL in 2016 in the 3rd is a better player than a reach in the 4th in 2015….
494 Greg Richards said at 2:25 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
We’re looking for depth and potential for the future. They have a gaping hole in the starting lineup.
495 xmbk said at 2:30 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Did we lose an all-pro lineman that I missed. No, not the same.
496 Joe Minx said at 2:24 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Let’s hope he keeps thinking that, cause otherwise they’ve added some nice players.
497 Greg Richards said at 2:25 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Haven’t loved their draft. Jones was good but locker room chemsitry is key for a team and you bring in a felon like Hardy and a guy with mental issues(even if not his fault). Their 3rd and 4th round picks were both reaches IMO.
498 Mac said at 2:25 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Romo can just run it himself.
499 xmbk said at 2:28 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Why do you think he drafted Gregory? He’s not just supplying sacks.
500 oreofestar said at 2:28 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Gregory and running game don’t mix
501 xmbk said at 3:08 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Agreed, he fell for more than just pot reasons.
502 ACViking said at 3:18 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Has time to put on weight, get his life straightened out.
Big risk/reward play by Cowboys.
If this kid gets more stout, even as a 2-down pass rusher (like Vinny Curry), he could be a great choice.
Come to think of it, Vinny Curry’s a 2-down player as a 2nd Rd pick.
503 xmbk said at 3:59 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Good analogy. Except I like VC.
504 GEAGLE said at 2:26 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Worst eagle draft ever… Not in terms of our picks, just in terms of a fan looking forward to watching the draft. It’s bad enough the broadcast of day 3 has comp,etely been butchered
..
What’s funny is before today, a lot of the media were down on the draft for our draft “not be exciting enough after missimg out on MM”.. The first 3 picks didn’t “excite”…. Imagine what they are saying now lol..
…
The media spent months reporting a bunch of nonsense, and now they are pissed that it is anti climatic compared to the bogus expectations they put in everyone’s head? Lol
505 mksp said at 2:28 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Nobody cares.
506 Greg Richards said at 2:28 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I get excited about the UDFA signings so I can live without not quite as much sexiness.
507 GEAGLE said at 2:31 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Love UDFAs heck I start looking for them in round 7… This message board is a poor representation of Eagles fans and media.. Tom is more responsible then 90% of local eagle media, and fans here are Prob in the upper 10percentile of educated eagle fans..
…
So while substance draft and finding value late is exciting for us, the rest of eagle nation probably doesn’t view it the way we do,,
508 Greg Richards said at 2:33 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
We have more roster spots to sign UDFAs this year than in the past couple of years too. There were 68 players on the team pre-draft IIRC so if we stay with only 6 draft picks then there’d be space for 16 UDFAs.
509 GEAGLE said at 2:34 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yup, and we will have some more money to throw around
510 James Skip Carl said at 2:37 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I think we’re saving our money, so instead of paying a bunch of rookies were going to over pay for an UDFA named Collins
511 oreofestar said at 2:38 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yeah if you want him gotta spend a pick on him
512 Greg Richards said at 2:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Each team has the same amount of money for bonuses to give to UDFAs no matter how many you sign. So that doesn’t really matter. Where teams can make it more attractive for UDFAs to sign is by guaranteeing a portion of their first year base salary. Most UDFAs don’t make the team anyway so this is almost like a signing bonus.
513 xmbk said at 2:29 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Exactly, September is when it starts to count. Until then…
514 oreofestar said at 2:29 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Love the draft, besides the Hicks pick I love the moves did a great job moving out of the 4th
515 GEAGLE said at 2:33 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I even like the hicks pick and I don’t assume we are losing Mykal .. I like an extra 3rd next year…. I have no problem with what we are doing in terms of team building, im talkimg about it having to be the worst draft in terms of watching the draft
516 oreofestar said at 2:36 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
No doubt, draft has been boring and it’s a messz they are so many ociks behind if they even announce them and then people complain if you spoil a pick from 10 minutes earlier.
517 mksp said at 2:32 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
For those curious, we traded #145 to MIA as part of the Rowe deal, and the following players were taken afterwards (to date):
Stefon Diggs
Brett Hundley
Davis Tull
Jay Ayaji
Cedric Thompson
David Parry
Jarvis Harrison
518 xmbk said at 2:38 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
No one on the board would make me regret that move. No guarantees in life, but they got who they wanted. Of course someone drafted after Rowe will end up with a better career, but that doesn’t change that it was a good move.
519 mksp said at 2:41 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I agree. Just fodder for conversation while we wait for another 40 picks.
520 ACViking said at 2:42 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
MKSP:
I wonder if the Eagles moved out of the 4th (after missing on someone selected earlier) and also traded both 5th Rd picks because their board was very, very lean in that area.
521 mksp said at 2:47 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
It’s a good question, and I don’t think anyone is arguing that we got bad value for any of the moves.
Based on some of the visits, I would tend to agree with you, it seems we’re targeting a lot of guys in the lower rounds, and didn’t want to overdraft them.
But this all assumes that Chip & Co. have an understanding of “value.”
Did they think Terry Poole and Glowinksi were going to be there in the 6th? Because if they did, they were horribly wrong, and SEA just ate their lunch taking those two guys.
It’s an interesting strategy if it works. Not very typical.
I am glad we replaced the Nick Foles pick we lost next year.
522 ACViking said at 2:49 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
But this all assumes that Chip & Co. have an understanding of “value.”
___________
Exactly.
When does the answer start to become clear?
523 mksp said at 2:53 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I think the value of their picks have been good. Haven’t reached this year. So that’s one part of the answer.
Let’s see who we pick up in the 6th / 7th / UDFA Round. If those guys end up playing meaningful roles for PHI down the line, then it could be that Chip just happens to be good at this GM thing.
524 ACViking said at 2:54 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
good theory
525 Joe Minx said at 2:33 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Fack! I wanted Emanuel
526 Greg Richards said at 2:34 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Damn, Chargers just took OLB Kyle Emanuel. Hoped he’d slip to 6th rd but had him as 5th in all my mocks.
527 Joe Minx said at 2:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yeah I love small school pass rushers.
528 ACViking said at 2:34 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
1. “He was our highest rated player by far,” said Chip Kelly. “We had him rated in the second round.
2. Chip Kelly said . . . the Eagles rated [him] in the top 50
____________
1. Player in question: Jordan Hicks
2. Player in question: Matt Barkley
529 Greg Richards said at 2:36 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
The difference is in who is doing the ratings or at least who’s in charge of the team doing the ratings
530 ACViking said at 2:37 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Kelly wants you to believe that, no question.
No way he chats up Barkley the way he did unless he liked him a lot.
531 GEAGLE said at 2:36 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
People are down on hicks because he wasn’t a popular name, if we would have drafted Paul Dawson instead of him fans would be thrilled, when in reality Hicks runs circles around fat ass Dawson with His name brand and no substance
532 ACViking said at 2:38 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Not down on him.
Just Kelly’s quote reminded me of what he said about Barkley.
Bottom line — Kelly’s right that the draft is close to a crapshoot.
533 GEAGLE said at 2:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Eagles and his coach strong had him going in round 2… I’ll trust that over the mock community consensus Til proven otherwise…
534 Mac said at 2:41 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
In reality, the ping pong ball idea would probably produce similar results to the actual draft.
535 mksp said at 2:42 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Nobody is down on him.
GEAGLE just insists on constructing strawmen so he can rant about them.
536 ACViking said at 2:42 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
just asked you a question — hope you see it
537 Bob Brewer said at 2:54 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
If a QB can’t throw the 15 yard out, they can’t play in the league. Barkley can’t do that and how the Eagles graded him in the top 50 is beyond me.
538 ACViking said at 3:15 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Belichick (when doubling as D3FB) has argued that Barkley’s shoulder never returned to 100%.
(I believe he’s written that)
539 Bob Brewer said at 2:37 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Exactly why I don’t mind them trading up. They can’t evaluate good players in lower rounds, so use those picks to get a better pick in the higher rounds.
540 GEAGLE said at 2:38 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Beau allen and UDFA Trey Burton strongly disagree
541 ACViking said at 2:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I’d forgotten that Beau Allen was in for a NC visit last year.
Anyone left in the draft who came to NC?
542 Joe Minx said at 2:40 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yup. A good amount I think. Most of their visits were late-round projections.
543 xmbk said at 2:40 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
And Barkley was a good pickup. QB is the biggest crapshoot of them all, still have to take your shots.
544 Henly125 said at 2:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I really wonder what the plan is at LB.
545 GEAGLE said at 2:42 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Let competition sort it out….. Remember chip values ST even more then most. He targeted special team aces in free agency last year, I wouldn’t put it past him to spend a 3rd on a LB he views as a ST stud for like the first 3 years of his career,,..
…
Love what we are doing.. Stack the talent at positions and let competition sort it out….
546 xmbk said at 2:43 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Depth and competition. Helps ST play there as well. Pretty sure minimizing the effect of injuries is a goal across the board.
547 Jernst said at 2:56 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I think the coaches are smart enough to know that you can’t 100% count on a 31 year old Ryans to return to form less than a year removed from his second achilles repair (even if it’s on the other leg…hell maybe it’s worse that his one good leg is now f’d up too).
I don’t think DeMeco is pencilled in as a starter. Bringing him back at a reduced price is a classy move by Chip for our defensive leader. But, at the end of the day he’s not here expected to start and be at full strength from day one. The best you can reasonably expect is that he offers leadership, depth and a stabilizing force for the new LBs we’re bringing in and expecting to learn a new system. Worst case scenario he just doesn’t recover enough to be functional anymore and he gets cut either this summer or next off season. At best, he’s a low risk insurance policy with high leadership intangibles for a team that lost a lot of stars and leaders this offseason.
Kiko is also recovering. He tore his ACL in preseason so he should be good to go by the time the season rolls around. But, again there’s no guarantee he returns to form or doesn’t have a set back at some point. Right now he’s pencilled in as one of the starters and expected to be a difference maker like he was as a rookie. Knowing that it’s not a foregone conclusion though, we have Meco around as insurance, hoping that between these two rehabbers, one will be able to start.
I think Kendricks stays this year and is certain to start if he does. This will be one last year to see how he progresses as a LB in this system. If he continues to be inconsistent, unable to make calls on the field and/or gets hurt again he walks next year. If he turns that corner and becomes a stud, he might be a top priority free agent for us to resign or depending on how the other players recover/develop is allowed to leave. Otherwise, he’s too valuable to next years defense that has two other injured players recovering to give up for anything less than a 2nd round pick.
Hicks is here because DeMeco will most certainly be gone in 2 years, might be gone a lot sooner and Kendricks is 50/50 to be here next year.
Reasonable expectations of the coaching staff is that DeMeco plays leadership roll and can play in obvious running situations and add needed depth, but probably ends up being phased out and gone by next year, Kiko returns to form and is a starter for years to come, the starter next to him in the future is either Kendricks if he becomes an all pro with Hicks behind him as the top LB backup. Or if Hicks comes on strong and Kendricks is up and down, the future is Hicks and Kiko with DeMeco being phased out.
That’s my best guess
548 mksp said at 3:01 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Kendricks / Alonso / Ryans will likely be in a rotation.
Kendricks will walk for big money after the season, and maybe we’re more quiet in FA, so we get meaningful comp picks for him, Curry and Boykin. Take a page from Ozzie’s book.
549 Jernst said at 3:07 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I’m a lot more confident after this past week that Curry might be in the long term plans. A guy that can generate that type of pressure and deliver 8-10 sacks as a rotation guy is extremely valuable. And, despite the awkward scheme fit, I think the coaching staff realizes how much value he adds to the defense.
I think we’ll make a strong push to resign him and, ultimately, it will come down to whether or not Curry wants to go play for a 4-3 team or if he’s happy getting a decent sized contract to play for his favorite team as a key rotational pass rusher that plays 40% of the snaps.
His situation might turn out like Grahams where everyone was convinced he was gone and the market wasn’t significantly better for him to move to another team.
550 ACViking said at 3:18 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Kendricks will walk for big money after the season
____________
Yes. Take that to the bank!
And the Ozzie theory
551 Andy Six Score and Four said at 3:27 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I at least want to see Kiko and Kendricks side-by-side for 1 season.
552 ACViking said at 3:19 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Belichick’s had no problem letting most of his guys walk in the 00’s for comp picks.
select players got extended.
553 Alistair Middlemiss said at 2:40 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Picks i could see in the 6th round.
Dres Anderson – You can almost lock this in – Chip was all over him at his Pro Day and is perfect Redshirt guy with big upside.
Kenny Bell – Great Value at this point.
Tre McBride – Surely wont be there at 191? Crazy he has dropped this far
Max Valles – Developmental pass rusher i like
Ben Koyack – good blocking TE who has enough athleticism to be a pass catcher.
Derron Smith – Don’t love him but has to be value at some point.
Andy Gallik and BJ Finney – both are centre’s who can play guard, would be good swing guys for depth.
554 Greg Richards said at 2:41 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
All those guys would be good values.
555 mksp said at 2:43 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Zach Hodges still available as well?
556 Jernst said at 2:43 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I hadn’t realized that Dres Anderson’s dad is Flipper Anderson until I just re-looked him up when you mentioned him.
557 ACViking said at 2:44 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Flipper still holds the record for most yards receiving in a single game — on (the original) MNF against the G-men.
He kept going long and QB Jim Everett kept hitting him in stride
558 Jernst said at 3:07 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Did not know that. You are a true encyclopedia of football knowledge.
559 Mitchell said at 2:54 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Alani Fua, Greg Mancz as well
560 Jernst said at 2:41 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I don’t think enough people realized just how weak this draft class actually was overall. Besides the lack of any really intriguing players at the top of the draft, outside of the top 2 QBs who were, in all actuality, pretty mediocre prospects compared to other draft class’ top QBs, the first round only had about 15-17 true first round picks, everything else after that was a wash until about pick 45. After that it’s just been a bunch of bleh. Not a lot of intriguing players in the middle rounds that would get me excited and the few that were supposed to be good values in those late 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds have almost all taken nose dives down the board and lasted until the 5th round. Really boring uninspiring draft overall.
561 Alistair Middlemiss said at 2:44 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I don’t totally disagree – i like a lot of the 2nd round guys and i think that group of players will match up with other draft classes. Think 3-4th rounds had a bigger drop off than normal but there is a lot of value late round. This is not the 2013 draft.
562 Greg Richards said at 2:42 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Bills take a RB. Wouldn’t surprise me if they cut Bryce Brown after the draft. You could tell by Ryan’s comments that he wasn’t high on him.
Dolphins take CB/WR Tony Lippett.
563 xmbk said at 2:45 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Brown was basically the player we gave up to move up for Rowe. 4th became a 5th in Bradford trade.
564 Joe Minx said at 2:44 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Would love Darryl Roberts with one of our 6ths if he’s still there
565 mksp said at 2:59 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
This is a good call, we know they like him…
566 GEAGLE said at 2:46 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
You know how we know we are improving as a franchise? Conpetition at training camp should be drastically tougher at most spots then it has been any year since chip arrived… It should be tougher to make this eagle team then any of chips past teams and that’s a great sign of growth towards building this program… Fair open competition pushes the cream to the top and increases Player growth. Should be a very competitive training camp
567 Jernst said at 3:14 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
This is very true. Except at Offensive Line. Everything after the top 4 is wide open. WR won’t have Maehl’s, Will Murphy’s or Brad Smith’s making this team next year. No way we’re arguing about Kenjon Barner and Matthew Tucker at RB. Lots of competition at CB now and a good amount more at Safety with Watkins, Wolff and maybe Rowe. Things are looking good.
I just hope we find a diamond in the rough along the Oline. Lucking into another Mathis is literally our best hope at this point.
568 Joe Minx said at 2:47 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Agh. Cards took Riddick. We had interest.
569 Joe Minx said at 2:51 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Cards love them some fast WRs. Nelson had the fastest combine time.
570 Greg Richards said at 2:56 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
5-10, 156? DeSean Jackson could break him in two.
571 wee2424 said at 2:51 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
In other news the Santa that got pelted with ice and snow at the Vet died today.
572 Joe Minx said at 2:52 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
No Jesse James! Damn Stillers!
573 McNabbulousness said at 2:53 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
jack ham, now jesse james. i really hate shitsburgh
574 GEAGLE said at 2:53 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
steelers stole Jesse james
575 James Skip Carl said at 2:59 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I think Chip Kelly only had 10 people on his draft board that’s all they could get that could measure up to his characteristics
576 ACViking said at 3:14 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
JSC:
My number was 5.
577 Joe Minx said at 2:56 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Kenny Bell gone bye bye
578 Tdoteaglefan said at 3:00 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
cowgirls get Ryan Russel
579 Greg Richards said at 3:00 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
That’s not a bad pick but they still need a RB.
580 Joe Minx said at 3:01 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Didn’t a lot of you here like Kenny Bell, or was that people on the EMB?
581 mksp said at 3:01 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
We liked him, was a D3FB favorite.
582 Mitchell said at 3:12 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Mine as well.
583 Joe Minx said at 3:03 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Finally a specialist
584 Joe Minx said at 3:04 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
OMG Belichick
585 Joe Minx said at 3:04 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Can’t believe he just did that
586 McNabbulousness said at 3:05 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
wtf just happened, im watching the talladega race
587 Joe Minx said at 3:06 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Spent a 5th round pick on the Navy long snapper we had shown a lot of interest in
588 McNabbulousness said at 3:07 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
well shit he probably had cameras set up in the eagles war room
589 Joe Minx said at 3:07 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Edit: make that 5th round pick
590 ACViking said at 3:06 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Here are the last 8 undrafted players who visited Nova Care:
Obum Gwacham, Oregon State – OLB
Alani Fua, BYU – ILB
Darryl Roberts, Marshall – CB
Randall Evans, KU – CB
Travis Raciti, SDS – OL/DE
Adrian Coxson, Stony Brook – WR
[ EDITED ]
Randall Telfer, USC – TE
Jimmie Hunt, Mizzou – WR
591 mksp said at 3:06 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Good work.
Joe Cardona gone. Patriots.
592 ACViking said at 3:07 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
just saw.
Belichick and Kelly thinking the same way . . .
But valuation was different, perhaps.
593 Joe Minx said at 3:08 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I’ve never heard of a LS being drafted in the 5th round.
That guy is out on a ledge.
594 ACViking said at 3:08 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
When you have a HOF QB, you do whatever you want — and still look like a genius
595 Jernst said at 3:08 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
wow that’s insane!
596 mksp said at 3:08 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Belichick can afford to be a bit more aggressive in allocating resources to save a tenth of a second on a long snap in two years.
597 ACViking said at 3:09 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
aside:
Cardona’s selection should help the Service Academies recruit LSers
598 ACViking said at 3:07 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Make that 8 . . .
Cardona — remarkably — taken in Rd 5 by the PATs
599 Joe Minx said at 3:11 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Gwacham & Roberts are my favs.
600 Alistair Middlemiss said at 3:12 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Both are really interesting players – would be happy with both.
601 ACViking said at 3:13 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Perfectly happy if Kelly “reaches” for Obie in Rd 6 . . .
Or trades both picks for him!
602 Andy Six Score and Four said at 3:13 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I’ve been wanting to know this, but had no intention of looking it up myself. Clearly, I chose wisely. Thank you.
603 Joe Minx said at 3:07 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Saints just traded up with Skins
604 Greg Richards said at 3:07 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Cardona may be the best LS to come out in the draft ever. His snap speed is almost a tenth of a second faster than average. That said, he’s from Navy and has to serve his commitment. Shouldn’t be eligible to play for at least 2 years.
Eagles actually used on of their 30 allotted pre-draft visits on him so that shows he’s not your typical LS. Still, a weird pick.
605 McNabbulousness said at 3:10 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
wow you’d have to have some transcendent david robinson-eque skill at the LS position to be drafted from navy and have to wait 2 years to play
606 ACViking said at 3:11 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Secretary of Defense has the authority (it’s been reported) to alter Cardona’s service commitment and let him go directly into the Reserves.
607 Greg Richards said at 3:11 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
So, 3 out of last 4 picks have been P, LS, FB. Good for us.
608 SteveH said at 3:15 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Woke up from my nap…. what craaaaaaazy moves did we make while I was out.
609 Greg Richards said at 3:17 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
How long have you been sleeping for?
610 SteveH said at 3:23 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
90 minutes ~~
611 Joe Minx said at 3:17 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Nothing. But the Pats took a long snapper in the 5th. Imagine if we’d done that.
612 Alistair Middlemiss said at 3:18 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Pats selected a LS who will serve 2 years in the Navy in the 5th round…
613 FairOaks said at 3:29 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Chip Kelly did an interview on NFL Network. Don’t have much else.
614 SteveH said at 3:39 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Did he say coachy organizational stuff like we stuck to our board and we think we got great value or was it more interesting.
615 FairOaks said at 4:00 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
It was a bit funnier, but basically. They think Hicks is a 3-down linebacker. And it’s been safe to buy Bradford jerseys since we traded for him.
616 scratcherk said at 3:19 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I think we basically HAVE to take Lael Collins at this point right?
617 ACViking said at 3:22 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
maybe a team with a 7th rd comp pick.
whatever info’s coming out of the Baton Rouge P.D. is not good.
Not saying it’s bad. Just not good.
618 Joe Minx said at 3:19 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Andy Reid picking now 2 in a row
619 Greg Richards said at 3:23 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
They took 2 guys I’ve never heard of
620 Joe Minx said at 3:24 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I know O’Shaugnessy the TE. The other guy NFL.com doesn’t even have height & weight for lol.
621 Joe Minx said at 3:26 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
The 6th round is in sight gentlemen.
622 ACViking said at 3:28 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Maybe Kelly can trade one of the 6th’s for a 5th in 2016.
Then next year, trade that 5th for a 4th in 2017.
So by 2020, he’ll have an extra 1st
623 unhinged said at 4:28 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
This is your brain after an NFL draft. I love the long view.
624 Joe Minx said at 3:29 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yes more Alex Flanagan plz
625 ACViking said at 3:29 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
not happy with Stark?
626 Joe Minx said at 3:29 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
I like her too. Was time though. 😛
627 Greg Richards said at 3:29 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
In the 6th round, finally.
628 Alistair Middlemiss said at 3:29 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Yeah and no one traded.
629 GEAGLE said at 3:30 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Feel like I been watching round 5 for 7 hours
630 GEAGLE said at 3:29 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
to me jordan Hicks is No Reach if you are comfortable with his medical. The only players that went after him in round 3 who graded higher for me were Daniele Hunter and Carl Davis…
631 Patrick said at 3:30 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Did Derron Smith kill somebody too? Seems like a player who just keeps falling and we know nothing. Probably has either an injury or a character concern.
632 KAJomo said at 3:30 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Tre McBride too.
633 ACViking said at 3:30 PM on May 2nd, 2015:
Where did Louisville collect all these long OLBs?
