Eagles 2014 Draft

[SD]

I hated that his teams couldn't win a playoff game, but he was entertaining as hell

It's the only assessment of the Buddy era. The rest is havas lunacy.

I went to an Eagles luncheon when Buddy was the coach and he was like a rock star.

He was universally loved.

If Smith can develop into something similar to Carlos Emmons, that'd be fine with me.  The fact that we're talking about Carlos Emmons (7th round) being the ceiling for the 26th pick in the draft still infuriates me though.

He was drafted to rush the passer first and foremost

i dont believe this to be true...because if it is then it makes the pick exponentially worse as there were much better edge rushers available...also chip and howie have mentioned numerous times that they like his versatility and length and versatility have become the hallmark of all chips acquisitions...i dont think chip would draft a guy to just to rush the passer...his multiple dimensions are what made him so attractive to chip imo...theres so many examples of it...

HoF Smith!

Barwin said he didn't closely follow the draft drama, of fans wanting a higher-profile player, something the Eagles tried to trade up to get but could not.
"I asked him if he thought he was a first-round pick. He said, 'Yeah.' That was good enough for me," Barwin said.

I'm sure Brandon Graham and the fireman said the same thing.

same with the lack of intensity.
