2012 Eagles Draft Thread - Defense Please

[ice grillin you]

is anyone watching this

teddy bruschi just said that even tho they have demeco ryans they still drafted mychal kendricks to challenge for that strongside LB spot

[Eagaholic]

I would have been fine with Boykin at 88 and Foles at 123, so I guess it's a wash.

I'm just saying I'm fine with how it went, regardless of draft position it's the same in the end. I'd make another choice over Foles, but unlike most here I'm a little more positive than negative after reading more about him.

the point tho is that they should have boykin and someone other than foles

[BigEd76]

why cant andy be like this with the local media and the fans

Because most of them are bitter a-holes like Marcus Hayes

That would be my choice too, but I'm ok with it even if it is suboptimal. Time will tell, but the guy does seem to have a good basic skill set as far as accuracy, strong arm, WCO type play and playing with a crap OLine so who knows?

im on record as having no idea what qb's will be good or bad but from what ive read the negatives far outweigh the positives with foles

we will see....if he ends up being vicks heir apparent then kudos to andy and howie...but right here right now i think it was a bad selection

[Eagles_Legendz]

I'd rather Foles than Cousins because at least Foles has a decent ceiling whereas I think Cousins will never be anything more than a good backup, but I'd rather have done something like the late round trade for McCoy and used the 3rd rounder on something else.  We'll see.

entering the territory where a flier on Burfict is more than warranted.  Risk/reward in the 5th round compared to whatever else they can take here is significant.

i agree with you but if they do something like that i think its in the 6th as they have two picks there

[ice grillin you]

if they dont OL here then they truly are taking the best player on their board at every spot no matter what

these next two or even three picks are the place where andy gets his OL to mold and fill the lack of depth they have there

dennis kelly, philadelphia eagle - 3 pages

brandon boykin, philadelphia eagle - 1 page

[Eagles_Legendz]

to be fair, he deserved every one of those 3 pages.

Boykin doesn't look like he's been living undergound for the last 10 years...

[ice grillin you]

boykin also doesnt have a tendency to not be able to cover wr's a lot of the time
