The Eagles began the third day of the NFL Draft by addressing a need on the defensive side of the ball, selecting cornerback Jaylen Watkins with the 101st pick.
Watkins is 5’11, and 194 lbs. He’s a fast corner with decent ball skills that can play either safety or corner.
The knock on Watkins is that he’s not very big, and could stand to increase his strength a bit.
Watkins could potentially compete with Roc Carmichael for a spot on the depth chart.
I like this pic. I watched a few Florida games this past season, and the kid was all over the field.
I think I was the only person calling for Jaylen Watkins on this board (to go along with Purifoy in the later rounds). Love this pick
Good Call Pheags, trust me Purifoy may go undrafted kid is a straight up criminal.
Biglion I was really high on the Florida corners. You have probably seen them play much more than me. Purifoy has talent too I would have taken him as well in the 7th.
I know he has some questionable character tho. What about Christian Jones falling like this? he must of killed somebody, something is not right with that
Its all luck at this point but I just dont like Reynolds. I would have taken Craig Loston who I have been calling for as well. Dude can flat out hit
Christian Smith has failed multiple drug tests going back to FSU, Purifoy is actually better than Watkins but that kid is trouble. Watkins will challenge for a starting job this year.
And you are correct Pheags, Loston should have been taken instead of Reynolds.
By Roc Carmichael. Go kick the ball in the end zone for a touch back on another team.
Haha nice call back
Like the Pick,
I was very high on Watkins also and had him mocked in many of my thousand mocks leading up to the Draft..
6-0, 195 lbs, good hands & feet, and great upside
And has played well versus good WR in the SEC
Will compete by 2015 for Starting outside CB
And will be a rotational/special Teams Player in 2014
Nice Job Howie & Co..
BRICE BROWN TRADED TO THE BILLS
Bryce*
Bryce brown traded to the Bills for a 4th rd pick
4th round pick next year that could become a third round depending on his performance.
And has the potential to be a 3rd in 2016..
Birds get a future pick for Bryce..
Now we need to trade away Brandon Graham
More trades on the way, players for picks..
Raiders got McGill….. DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT
Eagles weren’t goingvto take him because of off the field issues. I’m thinking they’re not taking Christian Jones because of failed drug test.
Doesn’t make sense the bills gave up a 1&4 in 2015 to move up this year to get Sammy Watkins
This is exactly what we need!!!!
a repalcement for Roc Carmichael!
GO EAGLES!
Hahahaha!!!
I wonder if Christian Jones will still be available when the Eagles pick
They should’ve picked him at 101
The black mamba to KC.
There picks in the 5th need to be Christian jones and mccullers
Damn Desir has some skills.
I want dion bailey and christian jones in 5th
Telvin smith messed up his draft with all that talk about not playing safety IMO
That and the drug failure at the combine. The three players named in that are all still on the board.
Oh wow another Oregon player lol
We are officially the Philadelphia ducks
Hahaha I was just about to post that
Easily the best draft in the division!!! Not the NFC but in the divison!
Is our next pick at #162?
Good off-season. Lost DMe and Brown but added Sproles, Matthews, Huff, Jenkins, Smith and Watkins. Plus Kruger will be ready to compete this year with Hart and whomever else we add. Extended Kelce, Peters and brought back Maclin and Cooper.
They must not be very high on LB Christian Jones like the rest of us
****Breaking News****
Chip Kelly to have “William Penn” removed from atop the City Hall Bldg
And replaced with a large Duck ..
but Construction to begin around July 4th Weekend,
More Details at 11pm…
Lol
49ers are killing it this Draft..
They reloading with a lot of young Talent
SF will be a good team for the next decade. They stock pilled picks a few yrs back and now it’s paying off.
Jordie Tripp is still on the board
This draft is so freakin deep my god
LB, CB, S, NT?
Jeff they go LB or CB in my opinion
kid from florida state still there and tripp..
Jeff they got good value with this Reynolds pick, not bad. Kid has size and instincts
ILB Shane Skov here???
RB Lache Seastrunk
Safety Ahmad Dixon
Your QB didn’t get picked in the 6th round or better! Thats a 3x, lmao
Dang it Igsb27
I owe you a Rutgers Hoodie correct?
Size 3x..
Ed Reynolds S
Ed Reynolds…that’s a good value pick.
Nope..they don’t like Christian Jones. Drug test killed him I think.
Had the right School (Stanford) but wrong player.
Safety Ed Reynolds a solid pick here,
Good Cover Safety and Plays Special Teams..
He will compete as a 4th/5th Safety
4th or 5th? On this team? Were talking about the eagles not the seahawks.. He will compete this yr and next.. sheesh
You a Skins fan? Girls fan?
He is a much better Coleman…….4th on the depth chart which is what you get at this point
Good shit
Do we not have a 6th rd pick?
Ed Reynolds = Chris Maragos. We already have the same type play on the team. He will have a hard time making this team. Look for Reynolds to be on practice squad.
I think he’s a more physical Nate Allen with better ball skills. Better than Maragos.
I agree Dag – It’s more of the Pac 12 Homeboy network….
Reynolds is nothing like Chris Maragos who is a in the box type of Safety with limited coverage ability..
Reynolds game is very similar to Nate Allen’s.. A deep centerfielder type with good ball skills, just not very physical though he has good size
And upside, well coached and has avoid shot at making the Team
I disagree, Reynolds is way more physical. He was suspended a game for targeting and kicked out of a game for the way he was going after the ball carrier, may have been targeting too. He does hit and can play with a mean streak. He can play in the box and zone as well.
Chip Kelly about to talk on espn
In my opinion the jags have had the best draft so far.
They had a great second round. two very good receivers. However, the reached big time with Bortles. Totally over-hyped. They learned nothing from the Gabbert selection. The 2 best were Derek Carr and Bridgewater. My value steals are Savage from Pitt; the undervalued Mccarron from Alabama, and Tajh Boyd from Clemson. They could have traded back and still landed Carr or Bridgewater and really deserved your praise. Bortles deserved the same scrutiny given to last year’s crop. I’d also take Johnny Football over him as well. But Carr and Bridgewater will prove to be the initial studs of this draft. Mark it down.
The Bortles reach was horrendous. People get enamored with a “look” of a guy and forget to pay attention to what matters – the tape.
Bridgeater by far was the best QB in the draft and the Vikings got a STEAL. Carr is a decent pick there are some questions but I think he could pan out to be a decent QB.
In the right system Manziel will do well But losing Gordon is a HUGE blow. Bortles is the most likely of the group to be a huge bust. There is nothing good about him but size and a big arm. He’s a project QB at best. And Jags shoot themselves in the foot again.
TS he doesn’t even really have a big arm.
All I know is he should have been taken no higher than round 2.
Hell they could have taken Mack wheeled and dealed and STILL got Bortles. I was looking at the screen like O_o – it’s like they learned NOTHING from the Gabbert over reach. SMH.
I like that they drafted my cousin Taylor haha hes a good kid, his parents raised him very well…
Don’t like this draft fellas, I like Matthews and Watkins and that’s it.
Why not? They filled needs and got a fatty DT. Picked up an extra pick in a future draft…..sounds good to most fans.
Think again 27 too many reaches, this wasn’t a good draft.
49ers,Ravens,Steelers and Panthers all had nice Drafts
And believe it or not, the Raiders have had an excellent Draft
Did your guy get drafted yet? The QB’s got pushed down this year
I don’t believe he did..and will probably sign on with someone as an
UDFA.. Maybe the Giants/Steelers/Buffalo
Mettenberger will be the Titans QB of the future he’s better then Locker right now.
Agreed BL
You know…I like Locker…he can’t stay healthy though. I don’t know if Mass is better than him now…but do agree he very likely is their QB of the future.
Locker can ball. He’s just Mr.Glass
The Steelers did it again, drafted another gem in the 6th DT Daniel McCullers. He may start day 1 though they’re known for stashing their draft picks the 1st yr then letting them loose the following years (What I believe the Eagles are trying to build here I.e Joe Krueger)..
I like the Eagles picks but they were limited because of the small amount of draft picks they had.. wish they would have had a 6th rounder dag man.. their were gems left..
Did the big receiver from Missouri get drafted? I think Washington is his name.
Time for the UDFA list.
The 2014 NFL draft…..making people’s mock drafts and arm chair analysis look like horseshit.
Lmao Christian Jones
Jones did not get drafted because of the drug concern, nothing to do with a lack of talent.
He was 4th Rounder at best and probably a 5th Rounder without
The Drug Test hanging over him,
LB’s just don’t have the Value inked your a special Pass-Rusher or just a stud in the middle which Jones is neither
I had many Players selected in the Rounds
Close to where I predicted..
The Eagles moved up and drop back in almost every round
That it made it impossible to be close on who they actually Selected
I called that Marquise Lee, Kony Ealy, C Kouandijo , T Jernigan & L Nix
Would all drop into 2nd Round
I had Eagles Trading Down to #26 with Browns
And getting their #83 Pick to do so
I had TE Niklas at #54 to the Eagles and he went
#52 to Cardinaks
I had WR Moncrief going to Eagles at #83
And he went #90 to the Colts
I had CB Watkins at #126 in many Mocks and the Eagles took
him at #101
I had DE Tyler Hart & Safety Reynolds in some Mocks in the correct Rounds
And even had DT Beau Allen as a 7th Rounder in a couple
All in all I was pretty close with nany Players,
which is always a crapshoot
