It was an itch that you knew Chip Kelly had to scratch.
The Eagles needed some help at wide receiver, and they got it with the 42nd pick.
The team traded up in the second round to select Jordan Matthews of Vanderbilt.
Matthews is a big receiver, standing at 6’3, and 212 lbs. He’ll provide Nick Foles with another big redzone target.
Great Pick. I prefer the bigger WR than the smaller tyes.
So when you look at it we got an OLB n WR with our first two picks, two needs, guys that will come in and contribute immediately, does it really matter what round who was picked? I think not! We’re looking good right now, lets see what they do with these two 3s.
That is my feeling as well.
If they had taken these guys reversed the conversation all day would have been different.
I did have a desire for the 6’5″ FSU player but matthews is much more accomplished and a big guy as well.
Size, intelligence and a good kid… type of players Chips wants on his team….great pick!
All effective 34 outside linebackers are gone as attaouch goes to the Chargers.
Long Ealy is falling like a brick.
The Eagles made the correct choice taking Marcus Smith first.
Kony…..damn auto correct
Where’s GM Cliff??
His boy Ealy is taking a beating!!!
I’m right here. I’m not worried where he is drafted….I know he’ll be a player.
Now Trade Brandon Graham to get a 4th Rd Pick back
And Trade Bryce Brown to get a 6th Round Pick
C’Mon Howie, get it done ..
People going out of their minds. I said it earlier today. Super run on OLB/DEs top of first.
Redskins reached for a 3/4 end with their only pick.
Marcus Smith was not going to be there.
That would be ideal Paulman. Happy we got Matthews. Big target with great speed. Keep em comin
I still would like to see the Eagles take Jarvis Laundry. Who knows how well Maclin will be once training camp camp starts
Aaron Rodgers tweeted that Jordan Mathews was a great pick. Aarons brother played with Jordan so Aaron knows him.
Targets for 3rd round? McCullers. If Nix keeps sliding?
This dude is a four year starter and all s.e.c. Led the s.e.c. In scoring huge hands and a big target ..nice job..paulman ..if howie can somehow Brandon graham and Bryce brown to get A 4th back it will be DRAfT Day the reality show. It appears the Eagles knew there was no way they could go back any further to get smith..they obviously have a plan..not just speedballs lmao..
With those two 3rd picks must be Christian jones & nix or mccullers
I’m with you on Christian Jones…watch out for this other linebacker named Jordan Tripp…they may take him instead, especially if they’re concerned about Jones’ drug result at combine.
Jordan Tripp is an Chip Kelky type of guy,
Reminds a bit of Kiko Alonso who played for Chip and was recruited
By him when at Oregon..
I see CB & DT in 3rd Round..
This 2nd around Takent is right up up there with the 1st Roubd so lots of good young Pkayers out there to be md rafters by Eagles.
Pass on Christian Jones…….
No…Christian Jones is very versatile and would be a great replacement once Demeco Ryans leaves next year.
This cat looks like Reggie Brown.
Reggie Brown was slower and didn’t know how to use his body to get open. He also had feet for hands and couldn’t catch a cold.
I meant his face looks like Reggie Brown…in the picture. Literally. I am sure he will blow dust in the face of the old number 86.
Lol..I don’t think they look a like at all. Nothing alike.
Thinking Eagles have Maclin & Matthews on the outside split wide at opposite sides, then Cooper in the Slot, with Ertz at TE ..
A pretty good receiver Corp with McCoy/Speoles coming out of the backfield
Kelly said he wad going to start Mathews in the slot.
Hes not a slot guy but hes talented
Believe it or not he is, the majority of his catches were from bubble screens, Chip said he plans on using him in the slot, he said he picked him not to replace Jackson but Avant.
Wow, im guessing he ll start in the slot then gradually move outside..
Im expecting these next two picks from the Birds, 1. Keith McGill 2. Martavis Bryant in the 3rd round!
Put Cooper in the slot!
Cmon Birds please draft McGill, dude will be really good for us… looks like hes dropping to the 3rd but we ll see
I didn’t want Allen Robinson at all
Nor did I.
This is the Eagles money round here in the 3rd
Word is Chip and the Birds tried moving up for MLee, two guys were targeted, Im guessing Lee had the higher rating on their board over Matthews…
If Moncrief, Ellington, or Bryant is available in round 3….. do we double up on wr’s in days 2?
I would seriously consider doing that, I like Bryant more than Moncrief.
no, need starters with these 3rd rounders like Foles and Logan — a wr would be a guarantee special teamer
I’m surprised Louis-Nix is still available. If he’s there at #83 the Eagles should snatch him up. Perfect 3 – 4 nose tackle.
+1…..Thinks the Bears will snatch him right before us?
Bears need Oline and safety and nix is 3-4 dt
Damn I hope he falls to us
I bet the Bears cock block us like the way GB cock blocked us by taking Ha Ha. Fuckers
I’m hearing Nix is dropping due to physical conditioning and attitude issues…if you didn’t want djax because he was a headache…scratch Nix!
Lots of CB’s still on the board
Pierre Desir, Phillip Gaines, Walt Aiken, Jaylen Watkins
Lots of DT’s in A Sutton, Daquan Jones, Kelcey Quarles
Slot WR’s Ellington, R Herron
OL Guards Trai Turner, Gabe Jackson
Safety’s Dion Bradley, Dontae Johnson, Craig Loston, A Dixon
Scat Backs Dri Arcger, John Brown
One if these picks better be Christian jones
Desir at CB…. Bradford at OLB,. A couple talented secondary guys from Florida…. some nice choices on the defense…
well…one 3rd rounder… another trade….probably a 4th and a 6th
We just traded from 83….if we don’t pick Jones at 86 they don’t want him.
Eagles traded #83 to Houston
Shit Eagles traded with Houston
what just happened?
Other DTs available still……like getting the picks
Ha….there goes the big NT,,,
anyone know what we got in return?
The texans 4th and 5th rd picks
Damn, there goes my DE Kareem Martin… 🙁
I think Nartin can be another Greg Hardy type in 2 years time
Though he’s better suited for a 4-3 Scheme
Not bad. But Louis Nix would have been ideal.
If you wanted Louis Nix we might as well signed Terrence Cody. No way Nix an stay on the field with the tempo the Eagles play at.
Eagles got pick 101 in 4th round and pick 145 in 5th round for the trade.
Eagles select LB Christian Jones
DT Daquan Jones or CB Pierre Desir
Or Phillip Gaines..,
Omg wtf!!!
Josh huff really with Bryant on the board wow
He’s got wheels
Wow, there is the Eagles Slot WR and a Return guy..
I would have preferred Bruce Ellington or Robert Herron
Or selecting a Player on Defense
Josh Huff, Kiper said he was considered a mid 2nd round pick, good quality pickup, in the end it all adds up.
Huff by most Scouting Reports has a 5th Round Grade
He’s a converted RB to a Receiver.. I’m not liking this pick
at #86..
They said Chip loves this guy like a son. The Eagles need to not get emotionally involved with these guys. This pick is all Chip. Wow
What did Eagles get in return from Texans for Trading
#83 to them?
4th & 5th rd picks
So 1st Pick In Saturday
1st pick Saturday in the 4th….have all night to research the next offensive player to take
