What Should The 2015 Draft Look Like?

ChipKelly11A nervous anticipation continues to build as we inch closer to the 2015 NFL draft. Between statements delivered by Chip Kelly and Ed Marynowitz, every single roster spot has room for improvement.

As it stands the Eagles have eight total selections. They also have a few players like Boykins, Curry and Kendricks (I see Mathis staying with the Eagles) who could be used for additional picks or for Chip to move up in the draft.

There are really two draft scenarios. The first is an answered prayer that a “blockbuster” deal for Mariota goes down. The second, once the Mariota era is over before it ever had a chance to begin, we return to our draft charts and hope Chip starts to upgrade the holes on this roster.

I think there is an agreement across the board with the fan base; the number one need for the Eagles is a starting safety opposite of Jenkins.

Safety

There are two key factors that make it difficult to judge the “safety” position; the incoming draft class lacks depth and how does Chip view the safety position. I believe a decision on whether Jaylen Watkins is a safety or a cornerback comes down to what the Eagles come away with after the draft. If other teams end up “reaching” for potential safeties like Randall (ASU), Rowe (Utah) and even Rollins (Miami) Ohio, I feel Chip would then add to the cornerback position and move Watkins to safety.

The Eagles have shown interest in Amos from Penn State, but I’d be more inclined to use our 2014 4th round pick (Watkins) with a year in the system versus a guy straight out of college.
Cornerback, wide receiver and offensive line are three other position groups that also need to be upgraded.

Offensive Line

Kelly is very high on both Barbre and Tobin as potential starters for the upcoming season. Could you imagine if the Eagles were to either trade or release Mathis and both of these guys are starters? I really like the depth of the offensive line in the draft, and see many guys who fit what Chip likes, as far as size, athleticism and the experience playing multiple positions.

I think the Eagles could realistically wait until day three of the draft to address the offensive line if they really think they have potential starters in Barbre and Tobin. It’s hard to fully judge who was at fault with so many different offensive line starting line-ups in 2014, this is a position group that relies so much on timing, trust and recognition of assignment.

The Eagles could really benefit from finding a guy who can start at guard this upcoming season and then transition over to tackle when Lane Johnson takes over for Peters at the left tackle spot.

Wide Receiver

Is the current Eagle wide receiver core the weakest it’s been since drafting Desean Jackson in 2008?

Is there anyone on the roster that an opposing defensive coach has to game plan for?

Jordan Matthews has a “nice” all-around game, but he views himself as a complimentary player, which is fine, I’ll take 75 receptions for close to 1100 yards and 8-10 touchdowns which I project he will register this season.

How much can be expected of Josh Huff? I have no idea; there wasn’t much to reflect on from his rookie season. I “anticipated” that his rookie learning curve would be far less than other players because of the relationship with him and Chip, which is a “reason” I excused the Eagles reaching in the third round to select him.

Well, I was wrong, between an injury that lingered from the preseason and some costly turnovers, Huff looked like his mind was going a million miles a second when on the football field.
Projecting what Huff “may” do, (50-55 catches)expectations for Matthews after a productive rookie year, the “next” step for Ertz, using Sproles in the passing game and any type of contribution from Cooper and Austin, what role will a rookie play in the passing game?

Speed, this offense needs a wide receiver that can stretch the field, similar to the role M. Bryant played for the Steelers last season. Two guys come to mind, Perriman(UCF) round 1 and Conley(UGA) in round 3. I know the Eagles have shown some interest in former Hurricane Phillip Dorsett, but it’s difficult for me to believe Chip would draft a “smaller” wide-receiver, although there was interest in Cooks during the 2014 draft.

I would take 40-45 catches for 650-750 and 5 touchdowns from my rookie wide receiver. I expect the Eagles to run the football more, and with the increased role of the other receivers on the roster, these are reasonable statistics that could be expected.

Cornerback

I really like the depth at cornerback throughout the draft, plenty of talent and potential; although I don’t believe there are as many “NFL” ready corners as the 2014 class.

The Eagles cornerback position at the moment looks a bit crowded, but all of that changes after the 2015 season. If Thurmond can stay healthy and produce, he could certainly earn an extension, and take over the vacated “slot” role that Boykins will leave behind. If Watkins does end up over at safety, the Eagles will need to address who is starting opposite of Maxwell.

So what would a seven round draft look like that would please “most” Eagle fans?

I need a safety, or I’m starting Watkins at safety. I’d rather not “reach” for a guy, and instead take best available cornerback.

I need a wide receiver that is able to get on the football field the way that Matthews did last year, and not struggle like Huff.

I need a “mean-tempered” offensive lineman that is going to mix it up at the end of the plays.

Positions such as tight-end, running back and quarterback (not named Mariota) I’d rather not waste picks on, sign a bunch of undrafted free agents.

It’s really hard to project what Chip is going to do with his first draft where he is calling all of the shots. I don’t believe Eagle fans are going to give up on the potential Mariota trade even if another team drafts him in the first few picks, the anticipation will continue the remainder of round 1 that a deal could still be in play.

I’ve watched every pick in every round since the 1994 NFL draft.

Never, was I this unsure of what direction the Eagles were heading in like I am for the 2015 NFL draft.

I think the Eagles will stay put, and draft a wide receiver.

Sam Bradford is capable of winning a super bowl in Kelly’s offense if he stays healthy. I think any “good” quarterback can win in the Eagles system. Bradford has the potential to be better than a “good” quarterback, in Kelly’s eyes. He could be right…

I would love to see Mariota come to Philadelphia in the draft, but I don’t think it will happen. And the reality is – Bradford was a much higher rated QB coming out of collage than Mariota is. So, it’s not a lock that Mariota will be better…. I guess.

I like DGB the more I learn about him.. He’s made some bonehead decisions as many 18-19 Year Olds do, no doubt, but he comes from a nice Family, seems humble about his past mistakes and is not the Thug that many think..
He’s very raw and has a lot to learn about Route Running, Using his size to his advantage etc,etc and it’s going to take a Season or Two before he shines at the NFL Level
He is a Risk Pick and I would not spend a 1st Round Selecting him.. Further down the Draft I would consider

I disagree with E0SB about DGB being lumped in or associated with the 3 Players he listed about who were all problems,with Drugs,Violence & Women and from some pretty rough backgrounds..

Jeff, Valles is fast off of the snap and knows how to get to the QB, He has coverage skills and is physical. Teams may be scared off because of his 40 combine time 4.80, I would not let that deter me, MSII had a nice 40 time, what good did that do?
Valles needs some more polish, but, he will be a game changer if he takes to coaching and strength and conditioning. Nothing in his past says that he will not.

Dupree is who they need to move up to get – Brandon Graham is brutal, and the ones in denial keep hanging on to false hope. We need a real Pass Rusher that can actually cover……

The Miami Herald expects the Dolphins to place Dion Jordan on the trade block.
Jordan was a no-show for the start of offseason workouts, leading some to question his commitment to the team. In two years since Miami took him third overall, Jordan has been suspended twice and failed to establish a meaningful role on defense. Miami would lose $1 million in cap space by trading Jordan.

That was a horrible contract that the Chiefs are saddled with. They’re stuck with Smith until at least 2017, and more likely 2018.

His Cap hit this year is 40 Million!! 25 next. They cannot get out from under that guy.

Wait, what’s that Kool 1-39 Breeze??? His salary is 12 million (actual dollars) and his Cap hit is 40 (fantasy pretend dollars)

How can that be the case? You were so adamant that salaries and cap numbers were the exact same and all……1-39.

Only guaranteed for injury and injury severe enough that would keep him out the entire year and then some.

Once again the injury has to be severe enough to keep him out the entire year and then some.

NOT just 6 or 7 games. But completely and totally out – no chance of coming back. Agreed upon by team doctors at that.

While I’m sure he’ll be injured again. And while I’m sure it will be severe – I doubt he’d be out for the entire year – otherwise they just cut him after this season and be done with it.

They don’t lose anything by picking it up. And gain if he has a bounce back year. Now I’m not expecting that either ’cause Gruden wants no parts of him. I’m just pointing out it wasn’t a dumb move.

Brees cannot be dropped by the Saints this year. Cannot. it would be a 33 million cap hit (compared to 26 million if on the roster) . They can’t eat that extra 8 mil in space as they only have about 4 right now.

But…..

They probably will cut him next year (dead $ hit 7 mil, if on roster 26).

I kinda think Mortensen is correct. If the Eagles want to move-up it will have to be players other than Bradford.

I would not be surprised. The fact that he had to be talked into coming back to play tells me that his heart is not 100% in this. My concern is that in 365 more days, we will all be on this board discussing what the Eagles should be doing to address the QB position for 2016. Three years and IMO still no true starting QB. 2016 will be the forth year. I don’t believe in Bradford, it’s not about his skill, it’s about his ability to stay healthy. And honestly, after not playing last year, and just 7 games in two years, I don’t know what kind of skill he has. he had a good rookie season, nothing much after that. Until he proves otherwise, he will be Sam Glassford to me.

Reports from MAriota and his Agent that he prefers to play for a West Coast Team so that his Family can watch him play from time to time..
The Chargers are making moves with QB P Rivers to the Titans and could very well end up playing in Los Angeles which Mariotas’s Mom is thrilled about ..
When asked about Philadelphia or the East Coast, she said “No thanks, its too cold, too far away and the people are too rude there”…

Paulman, i live here in San Diego, and i can tell you that people here are just as rude in California as they are anywhere else in the US. Yes, it’s much colder in Philly then in SD, but fans here in SD are called fair weather fans. This is one of the reasons why the Chargers are going to move to that s**t hole of a city called Carson. No loyalty..

Another Reason Mariota’s Teams wants the Chargers for when they move to Los Angeles, then the Branding and Exposure of a Franchise NFL QB would offer limitless Opportunities to the “Smilin Hawaiin” which I already have a Patent On and have $10 Million reserved in My Name as soon as the Deal with Mariota Goes down and then the subsequent Deal of the Charges relocating to Los Angeles for the 2017 Season …
Philly will just have to wait on their Franchise QB…

Mariota is screwed if he lands anywhere other than the Eagles if he’s to be a day one starter.

The only exception if he lands on a team that doesn’t need a QB to play right away and he can sit and work out the kinks to his game for a year or two.

But he is NOT NFL ready – unless he lands with the Eagles.

Its not gonna happen..we wont be able to get him…even though I think Chip wants him. The Titans are taking him at No#2 and if they trade him they will trade with a team that can give more than the Eagles.
If by some chance the Titans pass on him and he falls..then we might be able to bust a move and get him…but I’m not counting on it.
Chip has already made sure that he had some upgrade at the QB position by getting Bradford…getting Bradford was the move to make sure that we upgraded the QB position. So I am sure…Chip’s going to try…but I dont think the Eagles can pull it off.

Gents – how they hanging – quick check in -fore the draft –

it is true – the rumors for Mariotta to the chargers are heating up – word is a straight trade – Philip Rivers for the #2 pick to Titans – Titans get a veteran QB – was in the paper this am – seems every football city has the same ‘sky is falling – this needs to be a great draft’ thing going on –

My own two cents – and I do not follow college players – the Eagles will actually trade back and try and collect more draft picks – I think they hold onto all those players mentioned as trade bait – Boykin will man the slot – Kendricks will be a hybrid ILB/OLB and bounce all over the formation to use his speed – plus now you have 3 quality ILBs and 3 quality OLBs (assuming Graham makes the jump to starter)

I think the draft focuses on 1)OL (mathis and peters getting older – competition at RG) 2) WR – I think you see two drafted) – 3) DB

in later rounds will add depth and competition at DL/OL and OLB

If the Eagles take a QB in draft I think it is Hundley in the 3rd round – all the ‘tools’ physically and he can hold the clipboard for two years behind whoever until he gets a chance – I really don’t think they draft a QB –

I think Chip is going to be very content to be a horizontal passing primarily running football team – he wants 2 and 6 3rd and 3 so teams have to watch both run and pass – Shady making 2 and 6 into 3rd an 9 wasn’t cutting it –

Bradford had some success his rookie season with Steven Jackson getting the ball a bunch and carrying the load – let the 3 RBs and short passing game carry the load, keep him healthy – for that reason the OL is very important –

is funny to read some of these crazy trade scenarios – he trades back to pick up extra picks – birds end up with 9 picks –

Manny or Floyd?

Te= same
Dline= same
Olbs=worst
Ilbs= worst if they trade Kendricks
Cbs= 1 overpaid guy and still no 2nd cb

Special teams = still the best in the league

Kendrick’s would return a 3rd Round Pick at Best from anyone

I think I stated this before
Once a Player is Drafted in the NFL, they Rarely ever return a Pick equivalent or higher to when they were Selected unless they become a Stud/All-Pro Type which Kendricks is not.. Its like Buying a New Car and leaving the Lot,
it depreciates right away…
There is always that “Potential” of a Draft Pick that Teams/GM’s Hold onto over a Proven Player in the NFL
It’s always been this way
Kendricks was a 2nd Round Pick and would Return at Best, a 3rd Round Pick.. Do note that the ILB is not Valued very much as other Positions
It is What it is, and you continue to “Over-Value” Eagle Players

Not a Bad ILB Class at all this Draft, in fact one of the Deeper ones in recent Years..

Naysayers, gloom and doom, moaners and groaners….

Stop it

Chip Kelly has improved the team! We are also going to plug some more holes in the draft.

The QB position with Sam Bradford is improved

The RB position is just as good and we weakened the Cowboys a division rival

Our defense and special teams are improved…

We will shore up the wide receiver position in the draft…

The gambles we have taken will pay off…and if Bradford gets hurt we are no worst than we were last year…

Stop crying, quit moaning, gimme a break with all the bitching

Exactly Kool.

The sky is falling now Chip Jettisoned Foles bum ass.
everything would have been fine for these complainers if The Eagles would have made the same moves and kept Foles.

Improvement at CB and got a n rookie of the year Linebacker and will improve the safety position this year with “Late Allen’s” ass outta here.

Defense already improved (Even though Billy Davis is a liability at coordinator) the defense has improved in personnel.

We have the top running back leader to replace shady and will not be losing yardage behind the line of scrimmage with all the juking instead of hitting it up to the line of scrimmage when nothings there.

Improvement.

The Receiver position will be improved with Huff in his second year and Chip adding a beast this draft. (Cooper is shit) but he’ll be soon replaced once we get our future receiver added in a few days.

Offense improved.

So what is the bitching for?

This team was running in place going no where so Chip knew this nucleus was not champion pedigree, so he tore it down.

Again….If Foles was still here these same bitchers would be jocking the moves made by Kelly this offseason.

Eagles Offense

QB – Remains a Major ? to me, whether its Bradford, Sanchez, Mariota or some new QB
OL – Question ? at Guards – Who are RG and LG, Who is Future LT?
WR – The Weakest Corps in the NFC East and quite possibly the entire NFC and puts No Fear into any Teams Defenses
TE – Remains the Same, Ertz in Year #3 Needs to Step up.. Is he ready and mature enough to handle it..
RB – Upgraded with better Depth and Running Style to suit a 1-Cut and Go Running Scheme

So All in All I See 1 Postional Upgrade (RB) 1 that remains about the Same (TE) and 3 Postions with big Question Marks at QB,OL & WR .. How is this better?

Eagles Defense

DL – Remains the same – Need Improvement from the the Back-ups to Push the Starters so that’s Curry, B Allen and T Hart..

LB’s – Overall An Improvement with a healthy Kiko Alonso and a highly motivated Brandon Graham playing with Barwin, Ryans and Possibly Kendricks.. More Depth is needed and a make or break Season for Marcus Smith II who must prove that he belongs in the NFL

Secondary – Overall Improvement
CB – With Additions of Maxwell & Thurmond who will have Nolan Carroll, J Watkins and Brandon Boykin all in the mix for Playing Time (Eagles will add 1 or 2 CB’s in the Draft and probably end up Trading Boykin over Draft Weekend)
Safety – Malcolm Jenkins and a Wide Open Battle for Wolf,Reynolds, Couplin and Watkins along with a Draft Pick
I like Jerome Couplin to win the Battle to open alongside of Jenkins
I believe Earl Wolf gets released and a Safety is Drafted to battle but likely be a Back-Up for 2015
Special Teams Demons Maragos and Prosinski will battle it out for the Final Safety Spot, 1 will make the Team, the Other will be Cut
Maragos has the more Experience, Prosinski is more athletic and cheaper on the Payroll… A good battle to watch all Summer Long

You out of damn mind. Bradford has a quicker release, better arm and a higher pedigree.

The Eagles couldn’t win in the playoffs with the likes of Foles and that’s why Chip traded him for Bradford. He should know the better of the two since he’s the head coach…right?

I would rather see what Chip is capable of doing with the players he chooses opposed to Reids leftovers that never won damn thing when playoffs came around. It’s nothing to have a winning record in a weak division…He took Reidss 4 win team players and won 20 games in 2 seasons, so let’s see what he can do with his guys.

But I understand what you are trying to say…Chip Kelly can make any QB look great. (even with the exaggeration of Sanchez #s)

That’s the theory.

The problem is….history says otherwise.

Sanchez was absolutely horrible in the Seattle, Dallas and Washington games (does no one remember his fumble for points, or his interception with 1 min to go in a tie game?)

Kelly is 14-4 with one Qb, and 6-8 with the other 3 guys.

And in all cases…Vick, Foles, Sanchez any “stats” have been padded with games against lowly opponents. Against tough opposition, it looks bad….real bad…

Kelly’s offence looks terrible against good teams….it looked least terrible with Foles was in there…but overall, the record is not so hot.

Bradford is not going to change this.

When things go bad, Bradford mopes. Head drops. (much like Sanchez actually – Kelly kind of guys??)

Bradford may have some mysterious “talent upside” over Foles, but he doesn’t have his character or heart. He’s never shown it. He is a checkdown champion. Rams fan was done with the guy and his lack of “fire”.

Kelly got hosed throwing away a QB and picks for what is (if “upside” and heart even out) is a lateral move.

Honestly,…..who thinks Bradford is going 14-4 with 40 tds 12 ints and will win a playoff game? Because that’s what he has to do to be “better”

That’s what the last guy did. Eagles traded him and a pick for a guy who will be better than that right?

Who honestly believes Sam Bradford is going to better 14-4 with 40 tds to 12 ints AND a playoff win????

The question is….do you believe that, under Kelly, Bradford is going to go 14-4 40tds 12 ints and win a playoff game?

He was brought in with “upside”. He was brought in because he is “better”.

Will he be better?

Do you believe he’ll go better than 14-4. Better than 40tds? Better than 12 ints? A playoff win??

I don’t….and I doubt very many do either.

Yup…for the first time Vinnie

I agree with you!

You did it Vinnie!!

I know your shocked but let me explain:

“Chip Kelly can make any QB look great. (even with the exaggeration of Sanchez #s) That’s the theory. The problem is….history says otherwise.”

You nailed it! Your right…he can’t make ‘any’ QB look great.

He might be able to hide your deficiencies for a short brief time against inferior competition…but eventually the QB is exposed…

This is what happened to Nick Foles…he looked ok at one time padding his #’s against inferior teams like the Raiders and Tampa Bay…but the very next year he was exposed…leading the league in turnovers, sloppy deer-in-the-headlight playing…nervously throwing the ball up for grabs off of his back foot, holding the ball, taking sacks and hits until finally he just got broke up on a play where he was holding the ball confused and baffled and Houston took him out of his misery with a season ending sack!

No Coach in the world can make a bum like Foles into a consistent QB!

No way in the world you can make garbage like Foles look good…and when we shopped his ass around the league that’s what we found out…

The cat was out the bag…the kid stinks

So we were at a disadvantage in trying to get a competent QB who teams were going to give a #1 for in Sam Bradford

Foles didn’t have the value in the deal…Bradford was worth far more than Foles…we shopped him around and couldn’t get a fifth rounder for him any place else.

We paid a heavy price in draft picks because Foles wasn’t worth a damm, but it was worth it…we got a serious upgrade in talent, accuracy, intelligence, and a better QB..If we didnt get Bradford we were stuck in a big jam…we probably would have simply cut Foles….so we were fortunate to eke out a fifth rounder in the deal…the Rams threw us a bone because everyone knew Foles was worthless.

But for the first time you have a ‘fact’ that matches a conclusion Vinnie!

Nick Foles is a QB

Nick Foles stunk

Conclusion: Chip Kelly can not make ANY QB look good

Good job Vinnie…your first match of an intelligent premise matching your conclusion!

Hey its a first time for everything! Every dog finds a bone once in awhile

You found yours today Vinnie!

Again though…

“we got a serious upgrade in talent, accuracy, intelligence, and a better QB..”

Please tell me what this “serious upgrade” (your words) is going to look like.

What will “better” look like?

‘Cause its gotta be a serious upgrade over 14-4. Its got to be a serious upgrade over 40-12.

We were 14-4 with Foles….you really think Bradford is going to be better than that (Of course you don’t – but you’re trapped in your pathetic narrative, so you have to keep rolling with it even though you don’t believe it one minute.

Gotta be a serious upgrade in the playoffs. What would that be? 1-1? 2-0?? 3-0? What does “serious upgrade” mean to you Koolidiot?

You keep saing “serious upgrade” Your words. Tell us what that will look like.

And when 14-4 becomes 10-8…and when 40-12 becomes 30-20…will you still be mumbling about “serious upside”

I’m wondering if that was just dumb luck or not.

I am the frikkin’ Eagtes Bunny.

Foles was better than Vick (correct). Bradford is not a 2nd round pick better than Foles (will be correct).

That’s it, that’s all, that’s everything. That’s my basket of eggs.

Take it for what its worth.

I do not like the trade of Foles and a 2nd and a 4th for Bradford and a 5th because Bradford is not, in any way, better than Foles is.

I am sorry if you seem so purturbed by this.

As for the “Dysfunction”. I referred to the ridiculous media calling Roseman’s move a sign of a “dysfunctional” front office. I said, correctly, that these types of moves happen on all other teams, all the time, and the media doesn’t blow it up into more than it is. A guy moved.

That being said…since that non-dysfunctional management shuffle, the Eagles moves have been……well…..

,,,how exactly does the bouncing from Gore, to Matthews, to Murray and back to Matthews was also head scratching look if not amateurish.

And they got fed on the Bradford trade.

They got fed on the Sanchez contract.

And it appears they just about got fed on the Jordan trade.

Their actions speak of a crew that is not dysfunctional, but clearly out of their league.

(and, BTW, I am a BIG Matthews fan when he runs. The guy is a bowling ball and runs like a demon possessed. But I also recognize that he can rarely get on the field and the draft is filled with RBs this year!)

There are 2 separate issues, and you guys keep mixing them together.

1 – Kelly thinks Bradford is better than Foles. Fine. Whatever. Lets roll with Bradford. That’s a coaches call.

2 – The trade was one of a growing number of off season moves that proves this team is being led by a guy who is playing GM yet has no idea what he’s doing.

Bradford as a QB decision. Fine
Bradford trade as a GM decision – bad when it first happened for giving up too much, bad again for miscalculating and leaving his coach (funny that its himself) with sloppy seconds at QB, and not the guy he really coveted.

He got fed on the QB trade.
He got fed again because we all know the QB trade was for Mariotta and that isn’t going to happen anymore.
Fed on Sanchez contract.
The running “we want this guy, no this guy, no this guy” RB pursuit.
The “thank goodness it didn’t happen in time” trade for Jordan

Bradford is much better than Foles…we have upgraded the team…

This is a reality acknowledged across the league…

Bradford has a much higher trade value than Nick Foles

If we pull off the deal somehow (I dont believe we will) great…if not we have still upgraded at the QB position with a smarter, more accurate, better arm QB…if he gets hurt..we are in the same position we were in last year with Foles (who also gets hurt and misses games every year due to injury or poor performance)

Nothing wrong with the RB pursuit. Stop overexaggerating your point.

3. NO ONE THOUGHT MURRAY WAS AVAILABLE. He was and they landed a premier back for a new direction.

But of course spin it which way you please.

You take the 19th.

Everyone takes the 19th.

Even I take the 19th.

The 19th was never officially offered. Cleveland and Bradford talked extension….Bradford refused. Cleveland abandoned discussions.

End of story….except that the Rams then called the Eagles, bluffed that Clefeland was still in, and began laughing their asses off milking Kelly (in his first ever trade against an experienced team still basking in their destruction of Snyder) for Foles and a 2nd.

The Rams are building a good team Z. They are building a NFC West type team – defense first.

One of the things the Rams were missing was a QB who could stay on the field and win games… Maybe they found one in Foles. We will see….

Maybe the Eagles found the QB that can take them to the big game in Bradford. We will see….. It could be a win for both teams, but Vinny is correct, Jeff Fisher has a well established track record of fleecing teams on trades.
