2012 Eagles Draft Thread - Defense Please

that dude has gotten FAT

Once he got to Ohio, he decided to take the Tommy Boy thing all the way.

A name that has been getting a lot of chatter recently is Chandler Jones. Supposedly the Eagles could be looking at him as an OLB.

He certainly has an unbelievable pedigree.

Pass. He's a hybrid they'll probably throw out there at DE. They always take chances on players like this and it never pans out. Would it shock me if they took him? Not in the least, it's the typical 'we're smarter than you' move this front office would make. If they're going LB I'd rather they either went with Kuechly with 15 or Zach Brown in the 2nd.

Today's mock from PFT has the Eagles taking him

[Drunkmasterflex]

Some say he could play a Jason Jones type role. I don't know about the smarter than you pick though.  Mayock now has him as the 9th best player in the draft.

Greg Cosell said on twitter this weekend that he doesn't think Coples is a first round talent.  I was surprised by that.

I was jus listening to him on NFL radio very impressive. He also said he trains with Jon in the offseason not a bad thing considering he is a world champ and perhaps the biggest freak of nature on the planet.

the notion that he could play olb is hilarious...hes almost 270 pounds and lacks speed as an edge rusher much less having to run with a TE...hes an outside rushing DE all the way imo

15 would be insanely high for me...he doesnt have great athletisicm or talent and he didnt produce in college...its one thing to have a huge upside and not have produced like a poe...or to have great production but not be an elite talent but to be neither?...no thanks....not at 15 anyway...i like him a little better but in a lot of ways he reminds me of abiamiri

[Drunkmasterflex]

I am not going to pretend to know enough about him to pass judgement. I do agree 15 seems high.

If I lived in Cleveland I'd be so depressed I'd be 3 bills too. Comfort food.

Mrs. Heckert needs some comforting.

[Diomedes]

I don't know anything about football, but I hope to hell they don't take a DE in the first round, because the Eagles don't know anything about pass rushers.

With that said...

Let's talk about the 2003 draft.  Good Times!!

[Munson]

Ugh. I knew/know nothing about college players but I still remember getting excited when the draft got around to the Eagles 2nd round pick and Witten was still there. Really thought they were gonna take him.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I hope they draft him.
