Eagles 2014 Draft

[ice grillin you]

"prime receiver action" is not odell beckham....its sammy or mike evans

if they give up picks to go get odell i will be so salty...shtein i would have reservations about trading up for sammy and i think hes the best player in the draft behind clowney

why the farg would you cut a "prime" wr then give up picks in a great draft for a rookie who might be one

of course its probably all bullshtein anyway

[Eagles_Legendz]

Beckham is who I want if he's available at their pick.  That being said, I don't need them getting rid of a 2nd, or a 1st next year to go and make that happen.

Yeah OBJ may turn out to be a good player but nothing struck me about him at LSU as elite and I watched a shtein ton of LSU games.

He won't be the BPA at 22.

Drafting him after releasing DeSean is stupid. Get your receiver depth later on since The Offensive Jesus thinks any swinging dick can catch balls in his offense. Jordan Matthews from Vandy? I like him and many other who'll be there later.

OLB or safety is the move. Or a trade back if a QB is slipping and someone wants back into the first.

[Eagaholic]

I like the idea of getting one of the receivers with high end speed, not as a knee jerk reaction to losing Jackson but because of the synergy with Shady. And also because I want to hear Chip say he drafted him for football reasons.

[Don Ho]

I saw 5'11, 198, and immediately assumed he played linebacker. Those Andy Reid years left some emotional scars.

HA!

[SunMo]

each day i become more convinced that they are going to be the trading partner for a team wanting to get back into the 1st to get a QB.

i agree....he does nothing for me...not saying he is going to stink but he never stood out in all my years of watching him....id much rather have brandon cooks...in general tho i don't understand the thinking behind trading up for a wr in this draft

[PhillyPhreak54]

Unless it's Watkins or Evans trading up is dumb. And even then the draft is so deep that trading up isn't the best idea. Stay put or trade down.

They really have to go BPA on defense. Moseley, Barr, Dix....hopefully one will be there or within reach

[ice grillin you]

three guys at each spot im looking for....not saying all will be available at the eagles exact pick in each round and they may be drafted because of a trade up or back but this is who I like...also included the 6th round as i cant imagine the eagles wont make a move to get a pick there


first round
jeremiah attaochu - OLB – this is probably early here but perhaps they take him in a trade back...love his pass rush ceiling....was amazing against georgia last year...I believe he had 5 sacks in the game but whatever it was he was just a monster

ryan shazier  - OLB – four down backer than can cause havoc in the backfield or run with any te...great athlete and versatile which chip likes but hes not long or big which chip also seems to like...but these are my picks not my predictions

kelvin bejamin/brandin cooks - WR – love both of these guys...benjamin would be the eagles alshon jeffery a playmaking deep threat that will go up and get it rather than outrun you.... and cooks would be the eagles more athletic version of a wes welker/danny amendola...impossible to cover out of the slot but with even more quickness speed and yac

second round
jimmy ward  - S – very good cover safety that will be able to start from day 1...also has the versatility to move up and make a tackle...would be a perfect guy to have back in coverage on the field with nate allen when Jenkins is up on the line

dee ford - OLB – this may be a tad low for him...but one way or another I would love to get him...however he may drop because is a tweener type...an edge rusher in a 4-3 who is too small or an olb in a 3-4 who isn't fluid enough...bottom line is the eagles need people to get to the qb and he should be able to do it

donte moncrief - WR – ridiculous talent...have loved him since high school...they dont take a wr in the first this would be my target

third round
terrence brooks - S – should b a day 1 starter in the league...can man up cats or run around like a maniac deep...poor mans ed reed

will clark –  DE - long as shtein.....not the edge rusher that dion jordan was but a similar (albeit less talented) player

robert herron – offense - kid can fly....played rb in high school so could be a toy for chip..just a perfect fit in this offense

fourth round
dominque easly – DL – explosive off the ball guy that I think could fit perfect as a 3-4 DE...there are injury concerns but if healthy he would be a steal here

martevious bryant – WR – this may be a low for him but with how deep this wr draft is he could be a 4th round steal...got length and can stretch the field...not many like that in this draft

louie purifoy – CB - hes a hit or miss guy to me but if you hit on him he has a chance to be a top flight shut down corner....4th round seems a place to do dive into something like that

** - I am adding a fourth here just because I love him so much...telvin smith – OLB – doesnt really fit in a 3-4 but this guy is going to be the steal of the draft imo...reminds a lot of lavonte david

fifth round
larry webster – DE – got a chip kelly body and chip kelly versatility...ive seen some places that say he could be a great TE in the league...i think he could develop into a great edge rusher

wesley johnson – OL – dont get it twisted he far less athletic but hes not completely different from lane johnson in his ability to get out in the opena nd downfield...and hes even more versatile in that he could move pretty much anywhere on the OL if you needed him to

james gayle – OLB – most places ive seen have him going much higher....i think hes a one dimensional edge guy and that limitation will caue him to drop....but I also think he is a guy that can play outside in a 3-4 and get him man...i will be watching myself to see how off I am on where he ultimately goes

sixth round
john brown – WR – return man massive playmaking ability

brandon watts – OLB – wish he was a little taller because he is a super athlete that can run anywhere on the field which makes him a great coverage....special team and even a potential pass rush guy

l daminan washington – WR – big rangy cat that can spread a field

seventh round
damian williams – RB – pefect spread offense pass catcher type back....has mad off the field issues but hey it the 7th round

ryan jones – C – great quickness that would allow him to get out and block people....slight of build that nothing a weight room cant handle....would be a perfect depth guy for the line

eric pinkins – S – be honest I never heard of him until the combine where he looked so good...watched some youtube and other online film since and he is a moldable piece that shows promise

[PhillyPhreak54]

Good stuff

I agreed on the first rounders. I will dig into the others tomorrow. Attachou is a pass rusher first and they desperately need someone to come in and be a force.

Love Dee Ford too.

I always will take guys who produce over the measurable guys. That's why I loved brandon Marshall and Greg Jennings when they came out. Production.

And that's why I want Matthews from Vandy

I have zero interest in Benjamin in the first round. 

[Don Ho]

IGY, can't argue with any of your first round picks.  I have to admit I have sipped the Benjamin Kool-Aid.  I love the kid.  Attaochu may be available in the 2nd round.  Guys a beast.

Like your Robert Herron pick.  Saw him when Wyoming played Hawaii.  He had 10, maybe more, catches and I think he scored 5 touchdowns?  Guy was fun to watch.

[Eagles_Legendz]

The problem with Benjamin is it's all upside projection, and in a draft that has legit WRs, I don't want to roll the dice in round 1.  He's huge but he's not fast, doesn't have great hands, and all the scouting reports I've read said he doesn't run very good routes.  So you're basically taking him to be a RZ threat and then hoping you can coach the rest of those things that he is lacking in comparison to the others who will be going rd1.

im too lazy to google but how many on igy's list are honkies?
