College Players The Eagles Are Interested In

The Stovall thing is more interesting to me since we now know that Weiss and Reid are tight.

SunMo · January 27, 2006, 09:43:07 AM

what are Stovall's measurements?

MURP · January 27, 2006, 09:47:16 AM

from NFL draft countdown SR Bowl notes:

QuoteMaurice Stovall, Notre Dame
6041 216
* Looked very big and lean.

whatever the answer is now you can bet it will change for better or worse after the combine.

of course. i'm just curious because I don't want to use a first rounder on a WR, but certainly wouldn't mind adding one in the second or third.

As of now, nobody has him going in the 1st round. He's probably a 3rd rounder right now, maybe a 2nd....

NFL Draft Countdown Analysis:

QuoteStrengths:
Has tremendous size and knows how to use his large frame...Has great body control and can make the acrobatic catch...Leaper who will go up and get the ball at its highest point...Strong and physical...Willing blocker who does a tremendous job in that area...Not afraid to go over the middle...A bit of a long strider who is deceptively fast...Came through with a huge senior season under Charlie Weis.

Weaknesses:
Lacks elite speed / quickness and may have trouble separating from DB's at the next level...Didn't really emerge and play up to his potential until recently...Needs to keep his weight in check like he did as a senior...Will not do much in terms of yards after the catch...Will have concentration lapses...Doesn't seem to have natural hands and will drop some balls...Might only be a posession receiver.

Notes:
Could potentially bulk up and become a tight end or H-Back in the pros...With his size and ability this guy can be a terror to cover in the red zone...Intriguing prospect whose stock is on the rise thanks to a breakout season in '05.

Greenway Trotter & McCoy

AWWW YEAH!

The fact that he wants to play wil is a plus. Chad cant be any worse than Bowtie or Gappy

PoopyfaceMcGee · January 27, 2006, 12:46:57 PM

At some point, the Eagles will have to get someone that actually wants to and can play SAM properly.

Feva · January 27, 2006, 01:05:26 PM

Where's the fun in that?

Mad-Lad · January 27, 2006, 02:30:41 PM

If the Eagles pass on Greenway in the first round, what about Abdul Hodge (also from Iowa) in the 2nd round? He's a MLB who could take over for Trotter.

here's what an ESPN chat said:

Quote from: Scouts, Inc.'s Todd McShay: (2:26 PM ET )Hodge doesn't have great size, so he won't be a natural fit as a 3-4 ILB. However, he is quick, instinctive and tough. He does his best work when given room to roam. I think Hodge will be a good value in the second round for a team looking for an eventual MLB starter in a 4-3 scheme.
