2015 Eagles Draft Discussion

SD · April 23, 2015, 09:39:38 PM

I love the draft and can't wait, but I'm not reading up on players like I was previous years. Part of it is I have no idea what chip is going to do. There's usually a handful of players we think they may go after.

Early prediction is they move up for a receiver or corner then they trade a mid round pick for a safety. No idea who may be available but there are too many needs to address with just rookies.

honestly all I want out of this draft if for chip to take one or two players who don't fit his idea of the perfect player....a super athlete who doesn't have ideal size...a guy who doesn't have a stellar off the field reputation or work ethic....a guy who cant play two positions...a guy who hates smoothies....in a vacuum all chips desirables in a player seem completely rational and even smart...but the problem is in the big picture you eliminate so many potentially great players from consideration even before the draft starts

my dream pick in this draft is for randy Gregory to fall to the eagles and chip take him....not even because of gregory but because it would show me that chip will come off his philosophy of what it takes to be a philadelphia eagle.........a guy i love is senquez golson....but hes 5'9 so I know theres no chance of getting him

chips size/culture over talent MO takes a lot of the hope and thus fun out of the draft for me

The Mariota topic has been beaten to death so taking that out of the equation who does everyone want in the draft? I think the birds move up for either a receiver or cb. Maybe they trade a 3rd or 4th for some safety depth. I wouldn't mind Jake Fisher somewhere in the second but if Chip takes him at 20 shteins getting broken. I could see them moving Kendricks, Curry or Boykin to move up.

Not a Duck. A player that was expected to be drafted before the third round. Not a RB or TE.

unless you are going way up to get amari cooper or kevin white to try and hit a home run theres no need to move for a wr...theres plenty of quality in rounds 1-2

as for the pick at 20 short of a randy gregory or shane ray plummeting you gotta go wr....my choice would be phillip dorsett but im sure hes to small for chip

Would you move up for Trae Wayne's? I have no problem with them sitting at 20 and taking bpa.

i wouldnt...i dont think its crazy to think he might be there at 20...id also be really happy with byron jones at 20...in fact id rather have jones than waynes...

unless someone unexpectedly falls i dont think theres a player in the draft who is going to be on the board btwn lets say 12-19 that is worth moving up for...right now without knowing who is going to be there my inclination would be to move back if they can

Byron Jones is who I have them taking. Perfect Chip guy (tall cb, senior, captain, safety converted to corner)...if he went to Oregon the circle would be complete. Would love Jones at 20.

Yeah trading up for a WR would be pointless unless it was White or Cooper and they'll be too high up for them.

I would prefer to see them stay at 20 or even trade back a couple picks if a good deal is there to be had.

Jaelen Strong, Trae Waynes, Nelson Agholor, Byron Jones...all could be there to be had at 20. I have a feeling its going to be Agholor

BigEd76 · April 26, 2015, 06:05:03 PM

Jones or WR

A Duck so some of you finally pull the trigger on yourselves.

Strong would make me forget all about last years debacle of a first round pick. I would be estatic but he may be gone by #20. Agholor is really climbing on draft boards.

I think they stay put at 20 and take Jake Fisher. Yes it's early for him, and maybe they try to trade down but Chip will say he got their guy.

i think you are confusing strong with devante parker....strong is probably a second rounder....hes slow and cant get seperation....hes basically a mirror image of jordan matthews...nothing terribly wrong with that....but they better not be taking that guy at 20
