“Big people beat up little people.” It is probably Chip Kelly’s most colorful quote early in his coaching career with the Eagles. It is also his method for draft picks.

Okay the Eagles have Lane Johnson in house and now it’s time to add more players, who can help rebuild this team.  The second round is supposed to be the strength of his draft.  It’s supposed to be very deep and not as West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith is still on the board, but he won’t [...]

The Eagles got one of the four players, Oklahoma offensive tackle Lane Johnson, that they considered to be head and shoulders above the crowd.  They had Johnson rated on the same level of Eric Fisher, Luke Joeckel and Dion Jordan, who were the players drafted before him. “I don’t know what Miami thinks and I don’t [...]

It happened to me when I was coming out of college and I’ve heard hundreds of other NFL prospects, talk about how a team told them they were going to draft them, only to disappoint them when the team had the chance to follow through on their words. Florida State quarterback E.J. Manuel seems to be [...]

I was at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama earlier this year and I stood and stared at Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher as he was kicking butts during the team practices.  I didn’t go down there to see this young offensive tackle in particular, but he stood out so much that he was [...]

I argue this Thursday is when the 2013 season truly begins. I hope Chip knows what he is in for because this, as a draft always can be a make or break year. The draft is the most important element in providing long term success for any franchise in any sport especially football. Brining in [...]

Help Chip Kelly!!! Help!!!  We don’t care if you give the guys smoothies or milkshakes, you’ve got to build a winner in town.  You can have them wear heart monitors or portable lung.  We don’t care.   We want a winner.

Top Prospects I Like On Star Lotulelei If the Eagles plan on playing a 3-4, they need a dominating force at nose tackle that can be disruptive and create opportunities for the linebackers to make plays. There were some concerns about his health, but he’s recently been given a clean bill. With the lack of 3-4 defensive lineman [...]
