2012 Eagles Draft Thread - Defense Please

no whites mormons tweeners or spelling bee champs so far

that alone probably bumps my grade to a solid B

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

SAM and WIL aren't "big" and "small" anymore, kids. If the SAM has to cover a fast, athletic tight end... Guess what that SAM has to be? (Hint: not necessarily big)

And if they pick up Burfict in the third round?

sam cant be 5-10 either tho....have fun going up and getting the ball against a jimmy graham witten gonzalez fred davis ect.......and when you are 235 you are going to get bodied to death at that spot

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Choose your poison. Big and slow guys have much less chance to be successful.

brandon taylor was pretty much it as far as safeties go....i guess their thinking is imporve the front seven and kurt coleman wont be as much of a weak link

SAM isn't just about pass coverage either, he is the one that is more often getting blocked by a TE on the strong side, which is a reason they tend to be bigger.

[ice grillin you]

right...another reason why kendricks cant play that side

my point in pointing out the coverage is that if you ut a 5-10 5-11 235 guy at sam opposing offensive coordinators are going to scheme against your ass all week and expose the hell out of you in the pass game come sunday

god i hope they dont take cousins here...someone take him please

[SD]

They're going O-line or CB here. I actually wouldn't mind Cousins in the 4th with the Packers pick if he's there.

What did they get for trading back with HOU

Some linebacker named Demeco Ryans or something

[Eagaholic]

Sanu just went, I would have liked him. Eagles have no depth after Avant (unless you're a Riley Cooper guy) and need a redzone receiver or TE. Interior Oline is also in serious need of depth though it doesn't have to be the 3rd round. Agree SD a CB would also be a good idea.
