2012 Eagles Draft Thread - Defense Please

[SD]

I wouldn't ship a second plus 15 to move up to 7 for Cox if that's what they're thinking. Unless one of Luck/RG3/Kalil/Claiborne falls then stay put at 15 and take BPA.

Both NFL Network's Mike Mayock and Michael Lombardi agreed on Path to the Draft Wednesday night that Syracuse DE Chandler Jones is the best defensive player in the 2012 draft.
"I'm gonna make a statement," said Mayock. "Three years from now, I'm gonna say Chandler Jones is the best defensive player to come out of this draft." Chimed in Lombardi, "I think what Mike Mayock said is right. He is the best defensive player in the draft." Mayock recently bumped Jones to No. 9 overall in his top-100 rankings, and to No. 1 among defensive ends. Lombardi went so far as to suggest Jones could be a top-ten pick.

thats insane

but shtein him jumping up into the top ten is outstanding news for the eagles as it bumps everyone else down a notch

Seems like more Tannehill talk is heating up....saw where one reporter said that if he's there at 11 the Eagles may jump.

Please don't draft a farging QB.

And certainly don't trade up for one!

Please don't draft a farging QB, who was a WR.

And certainly don't trade up for one!

its opposite day for Matt Jones

[BigEd76]

Sal Pal says they're trying to trade up for Cox like Kiper predicted

while im certainly not promoting that move id be excited to have a young hope to be their next franchise qb

its been a long time since weve have had that feeling

[phattymatty]

i'd have no problem with them taking chandler jones if he's there.

Kirwin has a different view on Chandler Jones. He said yesterday Jones didn't look exceptional on tape and he didn't have particularly good production, and he's best suited as a 3-4 end because he doesn't have a lot of explosion off the ball.

[ice grillin you]

i was just about to say hes a 3-4 guy imo...he needs space to work because hes not gonna get that edge

i think he has a chance to be good as a 3-4 end if he put on 25-30 lbs....but i think its kind of crazy to say he will be the best defensive player in the draft...defensive end maybe

people kill po po for lack of production...but jones who had a measly 10 sacks in four years is the best D player in the draft?

i'll kill someone if they take tannehill.  he looks like a colossal bust to me
