Although it’s much too early to issue any type of grade for a draft, I can’t escape the tradition. No one will really know what type of draft the Eagles had this past weekend for about two or three years, but I’ll give you what it looks like now.
Let’s start at the beginning with Fletcher [...]
The Eagles didn’t surprise anybody by drafting defense with their first three picks in the first and second rounds. However, some may have been surprised by the drafting of a quarterback in the third round and the Eagles rounding out the draft with four straight offensive picks.
The Eagles drafted a 6’5” quarterback from Arizona with [...]
The Eagles got back to the defensive side of the ball with their only pick in the fourth round, drafting Georgia cornerback Brandon Boykin with 123rd overall selection.
Listed at 5-9, 183 lbs, Boykin is a quick corner with excellent leaping ability. He had nine career interceptions in 38 starts during his career at Georgia. He’ll [...]
Arizona Wildcats quarterback Nick Foles is a 6-5, 243 gunslinger with the potential to become a successful NFL quarterback. Foles broke Drew Brees’ records in high school and he set most of the Arizona passing records during his time there.
Andy Reid has had a great deal of success by developing quarterbacks and later trading them [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles said they were going to select the best player on their board. With the 59th pick in the NFL draft, the Birds have picked another defensive end and this time it’s Marshall’s Vinny Curry.
I told you the Birds were going to copy what the New York Giants have been doing for the [...]
The Eagles selected Cal linebacker Mychal Kendricks with their 46th pick in this year’s draft, which was a second round pick. Kendricks was the Defensive Player of the Year in the Pac-12 and will be battling for a starting linebacker job on this year’s Eagles squad.
Kendricks has tremendous speed for a linebacker and he’s an [...]
I just left the Nova Care Complex after meeting Fletcher Cox and unlike previous Eagles defensive line draft picks, Cox is a big guy. He’s not undersized like Michael Patterson, Jerome McDougle and Brandon Graham.
Cox looks like he’s a little over 6’4″ with long arms and legs. He’s currently weighing in at about 305, but [...]
The Eagles were very fortunate last night with Fletcher Cox falling to the 11th position in the first round and they did a nice job of moving up to get him. I went into the draft believing there was no way they were going to be able to move up and get him.
The Eagles knew [...]
The Eagles insist that they are going to draft the best player on their board. You’ve read and heard from Eagles GM Howie Roseman that they’re going to ignore their needs and get the best guy available.
Remember that this is a copy cat league and right now the Birds are copying the Giants. Think back [...]
I got the feeling while sitting in the Eagles Executive dining room last Thursday listening to Eagles GM Howie Roseman that he’s spent a lot of times thinking about how their arch rivals up the New Jersey turnpike, the New York Giants have captured two Super Bowl Championships in recent years.
Reese’s formula for building a [...]
