CSNPhilly’s Ray Didinger believes Arizona quarterback Mike Scott is going to move up draft boards between now and the draft. The Hall of Fame NFL writer was able to study video of Scott and he’s growing more and more impressed with what he sees in the young man.
“Teams are starting to see similar qualities in Scott that they saw in Russell Wilson a year ago, Didinger told myself and NBC-10’s John Clark after we did Sports Final yesterday. We all know how Wilson blossomed for Seattle Seahawks a year ago after he was selected in the 3rd round of the NFL Draft.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if the Eagles target Scott when we get to the draft in April”, Didinger said. “He’ll probably be around in the third round”.
Scott had his Pro Day last week in front of about 25 NFL coaches and scouts. He threw 85 passes.
Didinger emphasized Scott’s strong throwing arm, his athleticism and his poise.
The Eagles are supposed to talk to Scott today and they have a private workout scheduled with him in the near future.
GCobb are you purposely trying to give Vinnie a heart attack?
I don’t think he is a third round pick… I think he is more a fourth or fifth round pick.
you all hear that? thats the sound of vinnie crying.
Can’t cry anymore…just laugh. They gonna burn through 4 qbs this season anyway, so might as well roll into the season being the first NFL team ever with 6 qbs to start the year…..
Actually… i think we did that already back when peete and brister were at the helm. Look it up… i think we had 6 starters 1 year. Statgirl.
. Can u confrm?
Stevo, Paulman, DCar Bugs, Frank or anyone , you want to friendly wager on 1st free agent the Eagles sign; give you first choice — Winner is King of Comment section( until draft in April )
First Free-Agent Sign of the Eagles is Safety Grover Quinn
Of the Texans or TE/HB James Casey (also of the Texans)
I am always up for that…
e0, 1st dibs! I say our 1st signings will be, Ricky Jean-Francois, NT Terrance Knighton. RT Eric Winston, & S Glover Quin. If I had to bet who’s 1st, I’d go with……. “Ricky Jean-Francois!”
I was goingto roll with Ricky also, but now I’m rolling with CB Greg Toler.
I can see the Birds also kiving kenny phillips a shot on a 1 year deal. I am aware of the injuries.
Damn Dcar you stole my guy. I’ll go with Winston or pot roast.
Been touting Pot roast all off-season! Under the radar, young-up-& comer, won’t break the bank, & is the most important hole, with the scheme change. Dixon is a fat tub of lard, & ISN’T a NT! He has to go, ASAP!
Wow Chris Gamble retired instead of chasing free agent money.
must have been a job more than a passion
I like to play basketball at the gym but hate to run on treadmill or lift weights so I don’t – just basketball and swim anymore
HAs chronic Knee Issues that have been bothering for the last 4 Years of So, he’s made his $$ and failed the Panther Physical which is why he was Cut/Released and probably figured he wouldn’t pass most Teams Physical at this point and time.. No real surprise here..
WOW! Didn’t see that coming!
I like the birds to sign Goldson tomorrow
Wouldn’t be a bad choice, but he’s gotta come down with his price. Same for Sean Smth. Both want 3 years, $24M. Not happening!
Nice, The Eagles will have 7 QB’s coming into Camp
Vick and Foles to be Traded for 2014 Picks by August
CHip Kelly to go with Mike Scott,Dennis Dixon and GJ Kinne and may the best QB win..
Eagles get a 2014 2nd Rounder from the Oakland Raider and a 5th Round 2015 PIck
Eagles get a 2014 2nd Rounder frin the NY Jets and a conditional 5th Rounder based on Performance
In the 2014 NFL Drfat the Eagles have the Following Selections
The 1st Overall Pick due to their 2-14 2013 Record
The #33rd Selection (1st Pick in the 2nd Round)
Somewhere in the 35th-40th Range (From the Raiders in Vick Deal)
Somewhere in the 38th-45th (from the Jets in the FOles Deal)
Early Mock Selections for the Eagles come 2014
1st Overall – QB Teddy Bridgewater Louisville
Man the QB depth chart is going to be about 7 deep. Another mobile QB on the way. Stop looking at offensive players and please work on the defensive side of the ball.
Ill go with RT Eric Winston
Report is out that Chip and the gang including Lurie was down in Morgantown today working out Geno Smith. Leave no stone unturned I guess.
I thought Scott was in town?
I thought so as well Frank but PFT has placed Howie, Chip and Jeff in Morgantown .
yea big, makes ya wonder. Unless Lazor is running the show with Scott. One would figure you would want him down in Morgantown tho.
Looks like someone in midnight green is curious about Geno Smith! Don’t sleep on this. The same people (Kiper, McShay and Mayock) voiced their concerns about Russell Wilson. Now, he the toast of Seattle and the league. It’s a new day, thanks to innovators, Harbaugh, Carroll, and now Kelly. Until some defensive whiz comes up with a way to defense the “pilot”, mobile, accurate quaterbacks will be the trend.
Maybe they are trying to get Buffalo or somebody to come up to #4 and they get some additional picks. You never know with these guys.
That’s exactly, what they’re doing! No way they draft Geno at #4!
I agree with you Keith, I personally dont care for it, but who am I? Defenses will not take long to adjust to this.
Yikes! Bolden to SF for a 6th rounder. You guys who think cole is worth 3 and maclin a 2 need to get your head out your ass
I’m not saying Maclin is worth a 2, nor have I ever…But Bolden and Maclin stats were similar from this previous season, in fact you can argue Maclin had a better season. Maclin 2013 salary is half that of Boldens, which I believe would equate to better than a 6th rounder for Maclin.
HAc, its all about leverage. Everyone knew the Ravens couldn’t pay Boldin. Cole and Maclin are a different story since the Eagles have all the cap in the world to work with.
hac, Boldin, is 32 years old, is a possession receiver, with no speed, who wouldn’t take a pay cut. Maclin is 24 years old, with speed, with still some upside. Harvin got traded to Seattle for a 1st & 6th this year, & a conditional mid-rounder next year, so the value is in the eye of the beholder. Don’t be surprised, if Min takes a run at Maclin, with their 2nd rounder, now that they have an extra 1st. They now need a younger receiver, to go along with Ponder.
maclin’s contract runs out at end of year….
boldin is 32 and had like 8 catches for 140 in the SB….
AND????…….. Maclin is worth much more, PERIOD! Whether his contract is up, or not. That’s easily rectified by the trading team. Happens all the time.
What an epic stupid post. The only trend I see are pocket passers winning Super Bowls every year, including this year. This “pilot” offense has won absolutely nothing in this league so what in the hell are you talking about. In fact, the Ravens defense did find a way to stop its effectiveness by blitzing in the redzone. The Niners were terrible in the redzone in that SB because of this esp on the last drive. They literally blitzed the entire defense at Kap and forced him to throw down in the redzone and it cost the Niners the game. So yea before people start calling this shit a trend shouldn’t it actually win something first? All I see is that statue Flacco counting his millions for winning that Superbowl.
And Geno Smith is considered a pocket passer not a running QB.
And the comparison to Russell Wilson is stupid. Nobody doubted Wilson’s talent. People knew he had NFL talent. It was all about his height. On the other hand, Geno Smith has questions about whether or not he has actual NFL talent coming from the offense he plays in. Further, after watching him stink it up against the freaking syracuse defense with weeks to prepare no way in hell is he worthy of the top 4 pick.
Biglion, thats exactly what I was thinking when I heard about the Geno workout today. Would Geno be a good pick in the mid-late 1st round probably so. But at 4 overall? Hell No. I think they did this workout for trading reasons. I feel like they are doing everything possible to trade back in the first for more picks (which they should be)…If you pick at 4 you have to take a sure thing. NO prjects, no questions marks…we don’t have that luxury. If you pick at 4 the pick should be Warmack, Fisher, or Joeckell. end of story.
And think about it, if the Eagles were really interested in drafting Geno at 4, why would they let this workout become public? We know how the Eagles do business and going public is not their style.
Exactomundo!!!!
agreed pheags…. its been silent for too long. The birds are more tight lipped than usual. Guess that NFL memo DID in fact get in peoples heads.
>>>>>EAGLES HEADLINES<<<<<<<<
1. Vick took a dump around 10am.
2. When hearing about the Harvin trade today, Djax had this to say… "What can I say, he's an NFL Wideout, Good luck to him".
3. Foles was spotted today at the Nova getting coffee for Pat S.
4. Andy Reid called around noon to hear what Chip Kelly would be having for lunch. Andy said "oh, its pot pie day? I miss those".,
Foles was on the phone with OC Marty Mohrnewig of the Jets
Sense a Deal with Foles,DE Trent Cole and WR Jason Avant going to the Jets
for Darrell Revis and their 3rd Round Pick … Stay Tuned, lots of moving parts..
lol…
Chip Kelly can’t decide on a qb, can’t decide on Nnamdi, vacillated on Vick, his decision process on the qb is all I need to know about him, he had a bona fide starter, prospect in foles, but he’s signed practice squad , arena players for competition, his latest is foles back up , this guy Kelly has no idea what he’s doing
did i miss something Jake? Foles wasnt traded was he? He is competing for a starter job right?
You know Chip hasn’t coached these guys right?
I dont get your anger Jake…. should Foles be handed the starting job?
Are we in cap trouble and cant sign who we want because Vick is on the roster? Did Nnamdi hurt you personally?
Its going to take time Jake. No-one is “getting” the job yet.
I know how a leader, a man operates, he doesn’t bring in a laundry list of players to compete at the most important position on the team, its a competition, maybe among, two, no more, he also quickly figures out who goes, who stays, maybe you have never lead , maybe you have agenda stevo, but you have no clue
Reid will make us wish he were back after a year of this loser in chiimp Kelly
no way. It was time. He had to go. This train wreck could not have gotten worse…. I am thankful for Andy but there is nothing that will make we want to go back. We were NEVER going to win the SB with him. Is Chip the right guy? I doubt it but I KNOW andy was not anymore.
I think Foles is a goner and gets traded to the NY Jets on Draft day
No way Jets come to Summer Camp with Sanchez and David Garrard
As QB’s..
I bet you he doesn’t……….
Bet you a $10 Donation to your Favorite Charity..
I’ll bet you a t-shirt, and your pride…..worth more than 10 bucks, and free access to an elite prestigious club….
Mayve we can start a “Find Jon Hart Foundation” ..
DCar will even chip in a few $$$…
pman. I think its part of a deal for revis. Thats my story and im sticking to it.
Jake…. as a man who is actually a leader of people (i know its scary), i can tell you that a leader first has to know what he has before him. He needs to know who his guys are. I cant make any judgment on something or someone unless ive… well… met them.
***Eagles Owner Jeff Lurie has worked out a deal with Commish Goodell and Players Association to shift his $30 Million in Salary Cap money to build the largest “Jungle Gym” outside the Linc using only Green Technologies
To set a Standard in the NFL.. The Players regrettably agreed and 6 players who are Free-Agents cancelled their Trips to Philly
**Panthers Release 4 Year Starting OLB James Anderson (6-2 235lbs) due to their Salary Cap Crunch.. Anderson is a very underrated OLB, excellent in Pass Coverages, Good Tackler, Healthy and only 29 Years old.. He would be a nice Pick-up for any Team needing an OLB, can also Play Special Teams and can be signed at a relatively reasonable Salary plus he’s a good locker room guy with no off the field baggage, a true professional.. Eagles need to bring him in..
I wouldn’t mind that….
Over the last 3-4 Seasons, he was the only Carolina Panther Defender who I thought was worth a damn, played hard week in and week out, never was injured and just played solid, hard, smart Football .. He’s a good player and if he played on a better Team would have a bigger name out there..
pman… how can you say he’s “only 29 years old” when you go on and on and on about 30 being the end of the line?
He’s only been a 3-4 Year Starter and not beat up like many 29-30 Years old Players who have been Starting 7-8 Years, that’s how..
He was a Nickel LB and a Special Teams Demon his his frist couple of Seasons..
