Eagles Go Rowing
Posted: May 1st, 2015 | Author: Tommy Lawlor | Filed under: Philadelphia Eagles | 627 Comments »The Eagles moved up in the 2nd round and drafted DB Eric Rowe. I’m guessing he will play CB, but we’ll have to wait and hear from Chip before we know for sure. Rowe started for a couple of years at Safety before moving to CB as a Senior. He was announced as DB at the podium so that doesn’t give us any clues.
I’m a big fan of Rowe’s. He is big at 6-1, 205. He ran 4.45 at the Combine. That’s great, but the thing that stood out to me is that he was a smart, instinctive player on the field. I covet players with good instincts. Rowe is also a physical player. His background at S means that he will hit and tackle. He has no issues with mixing it up to play the run.
With his size/speed combination, I’m guessing Rowe will play CB. We’ll see what Chip says.
Terrific pick. No matter where he plays, Rowe is another talented, athletic piece to add to the Eagles secondary. God knows they needed the help.
_
Good pick. Value, need, talent.
Curious to know who Tommy likes for the 3rd round pick.
Watch out for Eagles trading back into 2nd round. My guess:
Mychal Kendricks to Packers for #62!
Then there’s a hole to fill at lb. What about our 3rd and 6th and boykin for end of the second round area
I just don’t think Kendricks is in the Eagles’s long term plans..
Well demeco is no longer a starter in this league
Play against his bro in MINN
YEah be interesting to see how they feel about Goode, might not be a huge drop off until Meco gets back in
Chip has said that we need quality depth at the LB position, as we lost Meco, Mychal and Goode last year.
I’m pretty sure we were forced to start Clay Matthew’s brother….ummm what’s his name??…awww forget it.
I do agree with Chip and I am hoping that we get to keep them all.
Official picks: Ronald Darby to Buffalo and Nate Orchard to Utah.
Browns
Duh
Some really good players are falling to round 3:
…
Oklohoma OT Daryl Williams
Oregon C/G Grasu
Fisher and Clemmings still available?
TJ Lockett would be excellent WR addittion
Eli Harold OLB
Bryce Petty
Rollins still available?
TE Jease James
TJ, Fisher, Marpet, Grasu still on board. Even if they are gone then the next tier of decent guys should still be around in 3rd.
This draft going as well as 2013 so far.
joking? i think it’s going much better
I really liked Lane Johnson and Zach Ertz?
Yeah our first 3 picks were great
oh my bad, i thought you were referring to last years draft! totally agree with you. love me some lj and ertzy
Rowe in Rd 2(CB) and Amos in Round 3/4(S)
that’d be great! i love penn staters on the eagles. who was the last nittany lion on the eagles? tony hunt? before that eric mccoo?
Rather have Jesse james from psu
kick ass name and he is one big mother lover
Tough sumumabitch too
Some real good target left. I’m hoping one of these guys falls.
Quinten Rollins
TJ Clemmins
UCLA DE
Jake Fisher
Jaelen Strong
Ali Marpet
Eli Harold
Love how you just said UCLA DE 🙂
Unless we pick him I dont have time to learn how to spell his name
Clemmings, Fisher, Marpet, Q.Rollins, Hunter, Harold
Owa Odighazuwa still on board too. Sort of tweener between 4-3 DE, 3-4 DE, and 3-4 OLB
We just literally drafted the best safety since we drafted Dawkina, we didn’t have to give away any players and we still have our 3rd and 4th round pick… That was a BOSS MOVE!!
..
Trade back in Round 3 and 4 and let’s get a 5th back…
what about mikell? mike lewis?
Like this kids ceiling better.. Better prospect IMO… Hopefully he will also be a better player
boy i hope so.
This may be the moment our safety woes end….
THE CURSE OF EARL THOMAS!!!!
Yeah the horrible memories… Just think E.T. might have put us over the hump for MM… I am totally kidding..
or the curse of letting dawk leave for denver
Or the awesome draft move in selecting Eric Rowe who has the potential of starting opposite Maxwell and rounding out our 2015 starting corners.
Tommy saying he covets players with good instincts is a well-deserved slap in the face of Late Allen.
rip late allen
I think Eagles fans have ripped him enough.
hey now!
Ravens traded up to Cardinals spot.
jake fisher off the board
Fisher is gone
Icky Woods announcing Jake Fisher excited like he was going to get some cold cuts
more like cold cuts laced with cocaine
I saw that….priceless I tell ya !! WOOHOO !!! YEAHHH !!!!
the kelly joke at the presser was apparently an idle threat
Bengals double-dip at OT.
like that’s going to help their QB
:'(
Is Clemmings foot injury dropping him down or something else?
Definitely the foot
Hopefully Chip feels his shakes can help that.
sounds like it
Ameer Abdullah
really good pick for them.
with a name like that he’s bound to be on the no fly list
He’ll never name it to the london games.
Awesome pick by the Lions. No Abdullah for the Cowboys!
I really like Abdullah to Detroit
Crap Dallas might get a good player here :'(
Tevin Coleman maybe
Hope not
Yeah..hes the most similar to demarco more speed though..hope arizona takes him
Gregory hopefully
Or hubdley
Hope they like PJ
Gregory is horrible against the run and he is a mental midget. Awesome if Cowboys draft him
Man what a slide
Okay, every team between now and 84, RB is the value pick. Lions just took Ameer Abdullah.
Cowboys I thibk want the Miami RB.. Wonder if they trade for Zac Stacy
zac stacy isn’t good. Can’t believe they let all of these RBs go off the board.
Ravens Maxx Williams
Good value
Ravens are getting great value – as normal
smart move for them, good for us too
Nice
really liked him while watching big10 football
Williams and Perriman. Those are some weapons for Flacco
Chip is having a great ‘first draft’
Yeah rock solid first 2 picks. Will be interesting to see what they do in the 3rd.
Agreed. Reminds me of Lane-Ertz-Logan. Just solid value. Need the “Logan” now.
Marpet?
That would be amazing.
like how he is not trying to outsmart everyone. just taking very solid players at positions of need.
I wonder if dallas was hoping for maxx to replace Witten
I want the Eagles to take La’el Collins. I just don’t think he was involved and it’d be a shame for him to lose out on opportunities just because of bad timing. Would be great value at 84.
Same. I’m down to draft him
could the move w/ those two 6th round picks?
Great value at 33
If they believe him I’d be down
That would be awesome
Worth the risk
A killer pick..
I laughed, but not funny if he actually did it
Too soon. Yeah probably too soon. I commented on the belief the glove doesn’t fit.
Count me in. The cops wanted DNA for paternity on the baby.
Major talent
If he is still on the board in round 4 I would snatch him so quick… Problem is by tomorrow info could be released that makes teams want him. So I wouldn’t risk it and just draft him in round 3… Heck trade back to the last pick of round 3 and take him…
Just openend beer no. 4.
Took the over…
Good boy!
Don’t know how anyone could take the under honestly 😛
I almost took it…this morning. lol
Catch up!!
NFL.com is so far behind it only has you on beer no. 1
your liver hates you, i love you!
Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA
I recommend if it you like some hop. (120’s better, though!)
Has anyone read infinite jest?
I’ve read the first 200 pages at least three separate times.
For some reason Gregory’s story makes me think of hals
It took me a couple of years, but why?
Senquez Golson? Hmm
Senques golson?
5’8″…..
Oh… and a half
ewwww
Desean would give him the body
that hat was crazy
Skilled Lil man in the secondary
Golson is a very good nickel CB. Rated very highly by Nolan Naworcki. Still seems high.
Even if its kind of his fault I still feel bad for Gregory
DIon Jordon’s shadow is weighing heavy on Gregory
It’s more than pot when Ray gets arrested 4 days ago with 35 grams and still goes in round 1
Robert Havenstein?
Big as frankenstein
Pure RT. Little high but at this pt, it’s beauty in eye of beholder.
Slow & immobile lineman to go with the slow & immobile QB.
I kid, I kid.
FOles deserves better
Ulrich Von Liechtenstein!
If we get Clemmings in the 3rd, it will be the steal of the draft. I’m telling you, stress fractures aren’t that bad. It must be something worse.
Dude. No stress fractures for 300lb men
Honestly you don’t know what you are talking about if you think a stress fracture will ruin a career.
Ok… Do your homework… This comes from someone who NEVER overreacts to injuries
I know enough to know the specific bone he fractured while you just are spouting nonsense about a general term LOL. You don’t even know how they will adress it, screw in his foot or leave it alone, and you are telling people they don’t know what they are talking about!? It’s just automatically OK because you like the kid? Ok
Did they release the info of what bone?
OMG wtf did I just say?
…. It was 2 different posts. I was just replying. Chill
He really struggled at the Senior Bowl. That’s when coaches first form an opinion on him. Before that, ratings are based mainly on what scouts see.
Nerdy personality… Don’t get the QB bodyguard vibe from him
Grasu, Daryl Williams…
You ever hear of a navicular fracture? Have you seen the recent sports studies weight correlation to the injury? You realize this city has been dealing with it for a year with Joel Embiid?
He didn’t even know he had a fracture. It couldn’t have been that bad. It could be as simple to fix as changing shoes or strengthing a muscle. Like I said if he has fallen this far it must be pretty significant.
OMG…Ok I get it.. You like the player, nothing is wrong. End of discussio
Great picks in the first two rounds.
Agholor can make an easy transition into Chips offense with his versatility. Rowe is a great pick in a division with tough WRs, his athleticism was desperately needed in our defensive backfield.
Markus Golden to Cardinals. I was targeting him for us in the 4th. Eli Harold and Owa Odighazuwa still available. Don’t know what’s up with Harold but Odighazuwa was reportedly flagged medically for bad hips.
I’m thinking we may not see a pass rusher until the 6th or 7th.
PUT HIM AT SAFETYYY
Gotta have him compete at CB first, no brainer
Ty Sambrailo. He’s a guy I thought we might take in the 3rd
Adam Caplan
@caplannfl

Getting the feeling we’re going to see a surprise with the #Cowboys. #DALpick
They looked at QBs pre-draft.
Hope they draft Mannion lol
need to, Romo not lasting long.
They can’t cut Romo for two years I think
dont worry once they restructure his contract again next year he will be a cowboy until 2030.
Would be a great pick
Whoever it is he now sucks ass
Better not be Bridge!
TB traded up, I think to DAL’s spot.
Nope, to IND’s spot right behind Dallas.
gregory to dallas
Do you guys still feel bad for Gregory?! looooool
No. I hope he has a nervous breakdown as soon as he signs his contract
With A LOT of guaranteed $
Cowboys adding some athletes.
and more dickheads..
Byron Jones will offset it
Greg Hardy begs to differ..
Haha true
We’ll see. Could be a superstar. Could be a total bust. Can say that about all picks. Okay risk at 60 in Rd 2.
Sooo
Giants – Collins
Cowboys – Gregory
Redskins – ??????
Gangbanger DeSean?
#culture
Randy Gregory and Greg Hardy?
Will be room mates on the road – keep each other out of trouble is their plan…
Sharing a suite with Dez Bryant
Yes… They drafted him? Yes!!!!mworst run defending edge rusher in the draft and mental midget..,l YES!!!! Lane johnson gonna lick his chops!!!
I’m happy you are. Cowboy too kid!!
You forgot to change your handle.
Jokes about mental illness aren’t okay guys.
We don’t really know if he has a mental illness or not. All the reports are very vague as if the media wants to avoid legal liability.
I wish him all the best in his private life. But not when he is going to wear a Cowboys jersey on the field.
It is if their cowboys
No joke. Putting him in THAT locker room and that team environment is not optimal for anyone with Anxiety.
Did they just put the guy with a Anxiety Disorder to join the Dallas Cowboys locker room?
are him and dez going to share the same handler?
Didn’t you hear? Dez is a big boy now, he doesn’t think he needs the handler anymore….LOL
Setting up for the Pats or the ChickenHawks to get Jaelen Strong
Apparent that draftniks liked Strong a lot better than teams did. Or teams are worried about his wrist.
I guess. But both need WR. He may be a medical red flag.
Yeh it’s crazy. He didn’t even need surgery did he
Bwahaha Super Bowl baby, me and the Cowboys gonna do big things in this league… Bwahahaha I LOVE IT!!! Thank you dallas! Thank you!
..
giants Ladon Collins
dallas Gregory?
..
Draft is getting good!!!!
I really like the players hats that they wear on draft day.
new era made them with chrome apparently…
If Rollins/Clemmings/Grasu/Strong are there, who do you take?
Grasu or Daryl Williams… I like Rollins and Rowe at safety, not corner, redundant..
Rowe is a corner in my opinion, think you can take a risk on Rollins in the 3rd…. just does not seem like a Chip guy – his #culture is 100% football guys – not someone new to the sport.
There will be some disappointment at the next pick.
I’m sorry, this is going too damn slow for me to contain myself.
It’s too far away to know who the pick will be yet. I’m guessing you think it will be a QB?
I meant the next pick at the podium.
Yes, got it. Sorry.
No prob. I blame Goodell.
but why do you feel the need to post something like that?
The pace of this thing is killing me. Trying to inject some drama.
I’ll shut up now.
try replying to the 139 older posts below…just an idea!
Says the bitch who posts his beer count like he is cool LOL
It’s more interesting than literally 99% of your posts.
Smells like a cunt, looks like a cunt, is a cunt.
C’mon man. You can do better.
what are the bucs doing, terrible.
Seattle was rumored to really like Marpet. Had to jump them.
Thanks for spoiling the pick, guys!
It was already updated on the NFL.com tracker. That means it’s official.
It was before it was announced on TV. Yesterday that didn’t happen but they are just glacial getting on stage right now.
Sorry, my computer won’t load the NFL.com feed for some reason even though it has no problem running other video including Eagles Live.
I am not looking at the tracker. I am watching TV!
yep
Sorry, misread you. Thought you meant disappointment at next Eagles pick.
Ali Marpet
No sweat off my back
so why was this guy not at a big school?
He was a basketball player.
GB selects Q Roll
He called him Quintin Rolls?
..
Bad enough he dresses like Bozo the Clown
Also said 2000 draft
This is interesting:
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 8s8 seconds ago
Asked a #Cowboys source on Tuesday if Randy Gregory was still on their board. Answer: “He’s hanging by a thread.” He hung around, apparently
dropped all the way to end of the second, not bad.
Sorry to see Marpet off the board. Good pick bucs
OMG just say the fucking pick
Lol
Seahawks select Frank Clark
Was going to check if it was announced before I discussed it but this guy apparently has talent but has some domestic violence issue in the past. I guess we’re at the point of the draft where teams are saying “F it!”
So we’re the choir boy team and Dallas is?
punks.
a bunch of romos
Very very manic indeed -Dr. Patel
still wishing they had Jimmy Helmet Head Johnson
Tommy’s upset at the Rollins pick. Me too. 🙁
Why would he be, we got Rowe…
would still have been a good selection
He was Tommy’s favorite player in the draft.
He liked Rowe a lot rated him 21 overall….
Pats select George Richards
Belichick with another DB reach
Patriots just took Ed Reynolds?
I was just listening to Dave Spadaro interviewing Rowe via telephone and Rowe said that Nelson Agholor was the most explosive receiver that he has ever seen.
High praise since he actually played against him.
I thought that was pretty awesome and I wanted to share.
good thing these guys all know each other.
Are you being racist? Lol JK
Yeah, he was describing what it was like playing against him.
He said he was not playing directly against Agholor, as Rowe was playing at Safety that game.
He also said how hard it was bringing him down and how explosive Agholor was in that game.
So our young D studs now safe (ish…)?
Nah, I think Boykin’s still very much in play. Kendricks maybe not so much.
Me too..no potentially better ilbs on the board..
This is the round Kendricks gets moved, if he does.
I swear I like Ed Reynolds better then the safety the Patriots just drafted… They could have told us, gladly give them Mr. Ed for a 2nd round pick lol smh
They should have picked Alex Carter
Right!
Wow pick from the Pats – Belicheat is doing his normal thing.
20 picks to go
We’re gonna end up with Daryl Williams?
Wouldn’t surprise me. No character, medical issues with him that I know of. Actually had him at 3rd in my mock, so I hope so!
Better then every round two OT with the exception of Fisher.. Can handle our tempo.. Great pick, we would be lucky
I’d be happy with that
Colts select D’Joun Smith
Good pick… He would be a stud if he was 6ft
Story of my life
Evidently nobody knew who the hell he is
Kid has game… Physical as hell.. Gruden was raving about him last week because he tackles his ass off
Yup I know him. Crowd was dead silent though.
Surprised teams all realize how much Hundley sucks… The age of reaching for bad QBs is dead
didn’t the bucs just draft winston?
He’s not neceserilly a bad QB, he’s just a full blown sociopath, serial rapist and crab leg afficianado
And not that good
Not bad, but Over rated. I would NEVER take him over Dante Fowler, don’t care how much you need a QB… He won’t be the best player to come out of the draft, Turnover machine, doesn’t see Linebackrs, forced a ton of INTs all to Rashad Greene
The amount of INTs he threw last year was insane for a star college QB let alone one that ends up being the #1 overall pick. If he threw 18 picks last year at Florida in 13 games, only 3 of which were against a ranked opponent, what’s the over/under on how many he throws for Tampa next year.
So Daryl Williams/Tj Clemmings with our pick would be perfect.
Daryl/Grasu for me…. There is a reason TJ Clemmings hasn’t been picked
Wouldnt mind Grasu, not really confident in him at Guard tho
So Petty is free fallin?
Isn’t this about where he should be going,
Later even
Never mind…
I got it ! hehe
I just don’t…

Mahalo…
By any chance is your last name Italian?
my boy troy is making some picks!
Damn it’s a run on guards. We liked both of these guys.
5 of the last 11 picks have been OL. I hope they don’t all get snapped up before our pick like last year.
Good pick by Jaguars
Damn, Seahawks gave WAS their 3, 4, 5, and 6 to move up to 69
For the piece of Shit woman beater?
They took Clark with their 2nd. Have no idea who they’re going to pick.
i thought we we’re talking football, not floyd mayweather
Fucking Mcloughan is making moves.
Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 10s11 seconds ago
The Redskins and Seahawks swapped 3s, and the Redskins picked up a 4th, a 5th and 6th.
yeah good on the redskins for getting him — guess that booze isn’t an issue at draft time.
No more easy wins in the division.
They’re having a really great draft.
Good. Easy gets boring.
I think lol
Run on OL… We’ll have a hard time trading up for OL ourselves probably.
Taking Scherff over Williams was questionable but they are having a nice draft and that is insane value, would.live the Eagles to get some picks
Just trade back to the end of round 3, get a 5th round pick back, and get the steal of the draft Lael Collins… Scared money don’t make money! Show me those Big Balls chippah
need more commercials
Definately..especially more nationwide insurance commercials
Clyde Wolford, who knows.
Seattle traded their entire draft for two TEs.
Are you sure? Oakland took Walford.
Tyler Locket. SEA has a ton of picks though.
Yeah even with the trade I think they have 5 more
Now I realize why seattle paid all those picks.. Lockett is dangerous
Seattle traded (almost) their entire draft for two TEs.
Nevermind, got those picks reversed.
They got Lockett. A WR
+ Jimmy G. basically a whole draft for 2 players.
run on receivers
Texans take Strong
Weird Strong is still there
Aaaaaaaand, he’s gone.
Texans got a steal.
Really Seattle? Is Tyler Lockett really worth half of an entire draft?
when you desperately need a WR, you desperately need a WR
They have so many picks, they don’t all make the roster
I guess you’re right…when you have the most picks in the draft at what 11 overall, you can do silly stuff just to get players you really like. Still, if I was them, I’d be more inclined to trade those picks for future picks in higher rounds.
Dangerous weapon to add to Jimmy graham
I just looked and they have four compensatory picks they can’t trade — 4th, 5th, and two 6ths. They didn’t need *that* many players, and they still have six picks left after Lockett.
So of course they had to give them to the rwords
Well… yeah that is disappointing. I really don’t like the Redskins having a GM with a clue.
winston just got 16mil and change guaranteed from the bucs
Heh. Chicago loves Oregon OL.

Jets-Texans trade: Texans get 70th pick (R3). Jets get DeVier Posey, 82nd pick (Round 3), 152 pick (Round 5) & a 7th-rounder.
wow, high prices. Makes that two 5ths look pretty good
Posey has been a bust. The Jets’ GM drafted him and obviously still likes him.
Thought Petty would have been gone by now
I’m scared that he’ll be there when we pick. I have zero interest in Petty.
grasu to the bears
That’s a guess right?
Just announced on TV.
no just announced
Fuck…we are screwed…fragile Kelce..
Some of the later guards might be able to play center – I like Mark Glowinski
Damn
Amazing that we’re this far in and there are still quite a few players I’ve heard of
Value might be at pass-rusher here at 84: Eagles had Danielle Hunter and Owa Odighazuwa in for visits. Both still on board.
Dont forget Eli Harold
I didn’t but we didn’t have him in for a visit that I know of.
Crazy that we may get shut out on OL again.
Plenty of later round guys – Sean Hickey, Glowinski, Austin Campbell
We’ve picked twice
My fear…
Yeah one of them, maybe Williams or another wr
Jamon Brown
Higher than I thought but knew some teams liked him as sleeper
He’s OL so yeah he’s going higher during this run.
Draft twitter is so weird:
Jayson Braddock @JaysonBraddock 26s27 seconds ago
LOVE the Jamon Brown pick. I had a fringe 1st rounder on him. Reminds me of Cordy Glenn. RT / OG / Swing OT
Josh Norris @JoshNorris 33s34 seconds ago
I didn’t know UDFAs could be signed in round three.
Haha
I don’t get where Braddock is coming from on that.
Damn, watch the Giants take a pass-rusher here
Like this pick. Want to see them get an OL now.
At this point we’re wondering if TJ Clemmings still has a foot
We can redshirt him a year, get the Sixers medical staff to rehab him they have done a decent job with Embiid. Hope he is there at 84.
sad thing is he probably could legit start for them right now
Where are our linemen….?
Tevin Coleman
excellent, another RB off the board
Good call fam
Giants are next up. And there goes Owamagbe Odighizuwa
Good value, fell due to medical concerns
giants get odighizuwa
Sam Bradford is going to have a tough time, we need lineman #reach
Unless we can run
Owanagbe to the Giants is a bummer.
Fuck i really like him, think he will be a very good player.
Saints pick is in… are they going QB?
Crap I loved the Giants first 2 picks (for us) but now they have to take Owa :'(
can’t win em all
Frank Olivo, substitute Santa hit with snowballs at Eagles game, dies at 66.
Bad omen for this pick?
No. The curse of bombing Santa is now over.. Rest in Peace Mr. Olivo.
i remember watching a nfl films on that incident, apparently for all his troubles the eagles gave a pair of eagles cuff links. hope he went peacefully
Gonna be so psyched if we can get Hundley with our 3rd.
Not that enamored with him but that’s a point in draft where I can live with him
i’m ok without a QB now, have Sammy B, Mark, Matty B and Tebow. I’m good more OL
Me too buddy, crossing my fingers..
I’d rather go OL
Said it before, I’ll say it again…Tevin Coleman is going to be an OUTSTANDING RB in the NFL. Dude has elite speed and outstanding vision. He’s my favorite back in this draft class.
Yeah man before we got demarco, he was the RB i was hoping we could steal
I’m very much pleased with the addition of Demarco, but I would have preferred to draft Coleman and save money to keep JMac.
amos amos amos!
I’d be happy with conkey
grayson to the saints
interesting
Third QB off the board. Eagles reportedly liked him.
Garrett Grayson Saints
That was the qb I liked the most. I thought there was a chance Chipper would pull the trigger.
Nah, be interesting if browns take a QB here.
GEAGLE loving life right now. Petty still out there.
I don’t think he has a life.
He definitely doesn’t love it.
Some people on here are unnecessarily mean sometimes 🙁
don’t tell me. Most respectless, rude and offensive poster since certain members on TATE..
If he’s like that then don’t respond with hate. Not saying you’re right or wrong but I personally don’t like seeing it when people are slinging insults back and forth at each other
That’s a pretty one-sided view.
It’s OK. I can understand if people are tired of seeing personal attacks on here.
Would love Disqus to be enriched with an ignore/block function though.
Why is that?
It doesn’t seriously bother me or anything just think we should be happy and get along and uuuh rainbows and smiley faces and superbowls
this is good
Could we get Kenny in the 6tth?
It appears KC traded up to MIN’s spot.
Hundley time (guess)
Chiefs take Chris Conley
Grayson, eh?
Fat andy just took chris conley..smh
Andy!
Browns up
Grayson before Petty or Hundley…that’s a shocker
Grayson isn’t really talented enough to be a genuine prospect…like Garapolo…
Cleveland takes … someone who’d rather play somewhere else
LOL
Had to up that.
Poor Duke…
I can’t imagine the range of emotions you’d have in that situation. Of course you’re thrilled to be drafted, but now you’re going from a place like Miami to a cesspool of a city, in cold weather, to a black hole of a football team where careers go to die. Must take a lot of the joy out of the moment. Time to start looking for a house in Cleveland…the city whose number one export is crippling depression.
How come Clemmings not picked yet? I have not been able to watch. Some issue.
broken foot bone.
Get the man some smoothies.
Who cleveland taking? Jay ajayi?
Bryce Petty.
running back
NFLN just came back from 3 minutes of commercials only to go right to….3 more minutes of commercials.
Awful coverage this year
Yeah half the guys they don’t even know
I don’t know who’s coverage I hate more…ESPN’s or NFLN’s
have the browns picked a WR? did they trade for one?
Not yet.
and they take a RB? haha how they gonna get any QB play with no WR, no Te, no receiving threats at all.
Just got back from dinner, saw we got Rowe, love we were able to land him in the 2nd.
Who’s still on the board? Who do we like at 84? Clemmings foot could have gangrene and I might still want him there.
nah it was reported earlier that it was amputated
Sure #sportsscience can fix that no problem.
Few Human Embryo and stem cell smoothies and he’ll be good as new.
Was that for real or a bad joke?!
joke
Not. Funny.
Cleveland takes Duke Johnson RB
doooooooook
Harold?
Has Amos been picked yet? If not, is that the Eagles target?
No and yes
Hasn’t been picked yet. Could be target or may think they can get him in 4th round.
no, and yes, i think…
Lol. 🙂
Lol, good analysis.
I thought he could be taken in the 4th. Maybe I’m wrong.
Very possible they start targeting OL in 3rd and 4th considering the run on them and they just got Rowe. I’m really not that high on Amos. I think alot of Birds fans are high on him because he is a S and from Penn State. I just don’t think he will really pan out in the NFL. Could be very wrong though.
hahaha a running back was drafted, let’s throw it to LT, ladanian tomlinson, who knows absolutely nothing about anything
Saints tweeted out their pick
PJ Williams
Eagles met with Rowe 4 times and Agholor at least twice. I’m looking at the prospect tracker at BGN and seeing if I can make a guesstimate based on interest shown.
Short list of people they’ve met with 3 times that are left:
QB Brent Hundley
OT TJ Clemmings

The list I’m working off of:
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2015/4/24/8488257/nfl-draft-2015-philadelphia-eagles-prospect-interests-tracker-position-chip-kelly
can’t see them taking a QB, isn’t Byron Jones the person they met with most often? Maybe they assumed N.A. would be gone.
They met with Rowe just as much as Jones I believe.
Yeah. Rowe, Jones, and Amos all had 4 visits.
they met with clemmings 3x, his foot 5 times
maybe they didn’t like what they saw. Think meeting w/ Clemmings is more a reflection of the foot than the player?
Good point. Is this something teams saw in their workouts?
that’s what it sounds like all around the league
Some of you liked Harold a lot
49ers Eli Harold
Vikings traded down again, this time with Lions.
The Lions take Alex Carter
Have we just given up on trying to not spoil the picks now?
not spoiling
yeah lets give up, aside from eagles picks
That one was already on NFL.com , which is usually the last to update, so I’d say it was fair game personally.
it was on TV
it was already on nfln
eagles on the clock
Bills select John Miller G
Still would have prefered Bud Dupree in the 1st but Agholor and Rowe is a pretty strong 1-2 combo.
Clemmings!
This who you want, or who it is?
who i want, NFL network hasn’t even announced the jets pick
I’m rooting for Mr. Traday Doun.
LETS GO HUNDLEY
Trade back, or will TJ be there?
Hunter, Clements, lael
Maybe Troy Vincent will select himself. I’d be cool with that.
La’el Collins… ROLL THE DICE CHIP, DO SOMETHING BALLSY
roll it in the 6th god damn it
Teams must think Clemmings foot thing is going to take a year to fully heal
I wonder if it’s the same navicular bone that Embiid fractured
Why does the Jets fan look like Kim Jong Un?
Paul Dawson?
That poor sap destroyed his draft stock with a terrible combine and stories about how crappy of a teammate and worker he is.
Jets select Lorenzo Mauldin
STOP SPOILING…jk
Jets take Mauldin. damn it!
Do you guys want Eagles pick?
Depends on who it is
Actually no, i’ve been waiting too long.
NO!
Write it backwards
I’ll hold off. My info is coming from one beat writer and he could be wrong.
Third round for a Louisville OLB seems more appropriate…
Stress fractures in big guys feet can be nothing but can also be concerning. But, from what I read, Doctors told him it was an old injury that had calcified and healed. That’s really not that big of an issue, especially if it caused him no pain and he didn’t even know about it until xrays showed a small calcified area showing an old injury that had healed. I think it’s being way overblown and Clemmings would be a steal in round 3. This literally could happen to anyone that trains hard or plays football. We’re talking about shin splints in his foot that were only revealed with xray, that he never felt, never effected his play and have already healed. Am I missing something here?
Could be some other reason he’s dropping. Bad interview, something on tape, who knows.
Besides he can rehab with 76ers
Maybe he says things like “Mongo just pawn in game of life”
it’s not that he broke his foot, it’s that he broke his foot while kicking a puppy
Yes, that’s what I have been saying stress fractures aren’t that bad. We don’t even know what bone is fractured in Clemmings. It may not be the navicular. it could just be a metatarsal. You can correct with cushion and muscle strengthening.
Are we in agreement – Clemmings?
I want him
I’d do it.
Trade back if they don’t like him?
I want him. He’s a great need/fit/value combo at this spot.
I think we’d all sign up for him as the pick, but there has too be a reason 32 teams keep passing on him dispite him potential
Clemmings or Collins
Yeah, Clemmings. If they pull that off I will be ecstatic about this draft.
It’s too good to be true it won’t be him probably
Think we have to, right?
Craig Mager
Our pick’s coming up…who’s everyone want? I think it’s TJ Clemmings time.
We’re up Chargers didn’t take Clemmings.
clemmings is still there!
sigh
You know the pick?
Mosher tweeted it
Haha I’m guessing it’s not Clemmings.
come on don’t do vague comments like that
I thought I was being irrationally optimistic last night when I asked whether or not Clemmings would still be there at #52…
oh shit
QB im guessing
Yeah sounds that way. Maybe this is the round we draft Marcus Marioto and get into a cagematch with the Titans over his rights.
Did Clemmings lose his foot to gangrene or something?
Yes. Maybe we get him later.
jordan hicks
Huh?
Who the fack
236 lb linebacker?
6′ 1″, 32″ arms. Dude is the opposite of “big people.”
Big people beat up Jordan Hicks
No, please not Jordan Hicks. Are you kidding me? He did absolutely nothing for me.
Ahhh jesus. What the fuck Chip, I was liking our draft until now.
chip kelly strikes again!!!!
Horrible.
I actually like Hicks. He projects well to the NFL as a pass-coverage LB. I thought of him as more of a 4th. Kendricks gone?
Have to think so.
be nice if they could have moved him for 2 4ths
WTH
Started first four game of 2013 season, but missed the rest of the year with a torn Achilles. Granted medical redshirt exemption. Started first three games of 2012 but missed final 10 after suffering hip flexor injury and took a redshirt. Played in all 13 games in 2011 despite missing spring practices with fractured foot. Selected honorable mention All-Big 12 in 2010. Parade All-American as high school senior. Selected as Gatorade’s Ohio High School Football Player of the Year. Was four-time member of Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll. Suspended before Alamo Bowl in December 2012 amid accusations of sexual assault. Charges were never filed in the case.

If anything he’s a Demeco replacement
edit: what with the torn achilles too
Wtf? Why now?
Howie wasn’t there to stop him this time.
I’ll miss you Kendricks you’re getting replaced by a scrub
Thanks.
Ew at the 6th round player they just drafted at 84
#5 LB in SPARQ:
http://3sigmaathlete.com/rankings/lb/
!?
Here’s why we picked him:
” Scouts say the staff at Texas raves about the way Hicks lifts, prepares for games and takes care of his body. Has football character in spades.”
It doesn’t matter, he doesn’t show much on the field, IMO.
It matters to Chip. Gotta be a good soldier in our program.
#culture
I guess we’ll see. If he can become a solid cover guy and a tackle collector, that works for me from someone taken in the 3rd.
hicks and smith2 can ride the bench together!

Well, #Bengals wanted to take him right there RT @GeoffMosherCSN: Just reached out to an NFL scout about Hicks. Response: “Stupid pick.”
Sort of confirms it as a “stupid pick.”
The Bengals have actually done well drafting for quite a while now.
Yeah, but facts like that refute the joke I was going for, so I choose to ignore it.
LOL – it’s sad when our reporters are called out in this way.
CK and his measureables. He was a top performer at the combine in 3 areas.
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/jordan-hicks?id=2552315
Per your citation: STRENGTHS – Looks good on the hoof. Has desired height, weight and speed. Smart and loves the game of football. Scouts say the staff at Texas raves about the way Hicks lifts, prepares for games and takes care of his body. Has football character in spades. Not a thumper but a tackle finisher — won’t miss often. Can glide and chase as plays bounce outside. Has burst to leverage outside runs and cut off angles against mobile quarterbacks. Showed more discipline and improvement after a year under head coach Charlie Strong.
So…are we ever going to address the offensive line?! We are seriously f**ed in about 18 months if we don’t reinforce this unit.
trade kendricks to get up and draft clemmings
”
WEAKNESSES
Despite intelligence and preparation, still considered only average with instincts and anticipation. Considered by evaluators as robotic and assignment-rigid. “Line dancer” who rarely free-styles and takes chances. Doesn’t see it quickly, so lacks downhill game to make plays on other side of the line. Gets late start on routes crossing face in zone coverage. Must improve at taking on blocks and keeping linemen off of him. Had season-ending injuries in both 2012 and 2013, missing a total of 19 games.
“
What happened to durability being an important measurable? Also love the lack of instincts and inability to play downhill. Sounds almost like Casey Mathews 2.0.
bro chill out, casey was good on special teams
touche touche… I’m chilled now. Extend this man, we need more above average special teamers with our 3rd rounders.
hey at least we didn’t draft him where we drafted MSII
This is a head scratcher.
Not really Kendricks is getting traded.
No.
His Pro Comparison on Bleacher Report is actually Kendricks. Bleacher Report is also very high on him calling him NFL ready.
Maybe Davis is switching it up with a 1-6 formation. Shut up, Kendricks is totally staying! *put fingers in ears* lalalalalalala!
A torn Achilles in 2013 and a hip flexor injury in 2012 bookend a sexual assault allegation…oh joy
might as well take winston
Files never charged
… you mean charges never filed right? I know it’s late ;).
I need sleep
that doesn’t mean shit, big time college programs retard the justice process when it comes to their players
Still doesn’t mean he’s guilty, it just means we don’t know one way or the other.
this is very true
forgot to mention the fractured foot in 2011…
our ILB corps looks like that famous picture of the 3 bandaged revolutionary war minutemen marching with the drum and flute
I’m gonnna have to watch more tape of him but when I watched him the first time, I remember thinking to myself, “god I hope Chip doesn’t pick this guy.”
Do we trade back into the 4th round? david johnsons a good pick
What an absolutely horrible fucking waste of a pick. Now watch Chip trade Kendricks for a 7th rounder.
Steelers take Coates
I love Jordan hicks!
Hicks right? Jordan?
Great choice I think
What 4th and 5th round picks do we have? 1 4th no 5th, 2 6ths and 7th?
I think that’s right.
Bleacher Report is very high on him. Call him NFL ready LB. His Pro Comparison is Mychal Kendricks.

According to http://mockdraftable.com , the most similar player to Jordan Hicks is Luke Kuechly! Third on the list is… Mychal Kendricks.
measurables, not skill wise. Intersting how much attention we’re paying to ILB and how little to OL
Maybe we flip one of the other ILBs besides Kendricks for a veteran lineman
He might be Meco’s replacement. Maybe he loses a step from the injury.
That’s… laughable really.
comps in general are bullshit. setting players up for failure
Well especially a comp like Kuechly. Sure sure, Jordan Hicks is just like the best ILB in the whole league. Barf.
or that dude tenn. got they were comping him to randy moss, come the fuck on.
WOW Sean Mannion off the board, Hundley and that other dude still around
Seen a lot of him at Oregon State. Terrible. Thank God he is off the board.
kelly said they had hicks rated as a 2nd rounder
laughable
Well makes sense – he was a 2nd rounder if not for the injury history – which Chip obviously gives no shits about.
we need that tj cummings
Bleacher Report is high on him as well.
Ok man we get it, bleacher report likes him. No one cares about the hacks at bleacher report.
Maybe you don’t, but BR has good analysis at times. Appreciate the opinion though.
BR likes him.
I dont believe that. There’s no way with all the other talent on the board
NEW THREAD
Jesus carl davis was still on the board?
Did I hear Chip right and he said Alonso can play OLB?
“No one remotely close to the board to Jordan”
– Chip
Well seems like he likes him a lot more than us, whatever moving on (god awful)
Looks like Rams are gonna Ram…Sean Mannion? They already have the barely can play third round QB.
From a fan’s view..very “meh” draft so far.
