I think this young man could be a good player, but the Eagles could have drafted Temple safety Jaiquawn Jarrett in the 3rd or 4th round. I know they need a safety, but they drafted this youngster much sooner than they had to.
I think the reason they took him so early is because this draft if very short when it comes to safeties.
Jarrett has a reputation of hitting people but he’s not a speedster. He ran a 4.65 in the forty-yard dash, which isn’t a good time for a safety, but he supposedly plays faster than he times out.
He’s not the biggest of safeties either. The youngster stands 6′ and he weighs 198 pounds.
The Temple Owl safety is a very smart player, who detects routes very well and does good job of reading his keys and reacting to them.
Andy Reid and his staff will expect this young man to be ready to play next season. Last year’s second round pick, Nate Allen is recovering from a knee surgery. The other safety on the roster, Kurt Coleman, played quite a bit a year ago and is likely to be one of 
the starters at the safety spot.
Veteran free agent safety Quintin Mikell is not sure whether he’s going to be on the Eagles roster next season. Veteran Marlon Jackson is also on the roster, but he’s recovering from surgery on both knees.
The Birds obviously think a lot of Jarrett and they’d better be right because he’s going to have to play in the upcoming season.
— I think the Giants are having a good draft with cornerback Prince Amukamara in the first rond and defensive tackle Marvin Austin in the second round.
wow…Eagles reach for a safety who would be available in round 4… and we wonder why the Eagles can’t win a SB and slowly start to fall into mediocrity and move farther away form the elite teams in the NFL…..who know how to draft and get value players… the Eagles had a chance to add some quality defensive players to an explosive offensive team, but have failed. I know they still have plenty of picks left, but c’mon, from what I have seen so far, I dont want to see the garbage they select later in the draft…. FIRE the whole damn front office!
I’m just glad we didn’t pick Aldon Smith. Only an idiot would want that.
The giants always out draft us of late… they got 2 guys the birds coulda took anf needed… the birds better have a master plan
Jott –
1) How do you know he would have been avaiable in the 4rth – article here confirmed very few safties in draft
2) Have not and can not are two totally different things. 31 teams will not 1 team will win the SB – you tell me the eagles shortcoming I will show you a team that has won the SB –
3) if mediocrity is winning 10 and 11 games and qualifying for the playoffs the last two years – you will have officially changed the definition of that word
4) garbage seleected later in draft – wow – should I list the quality players on this roster (Cole, Celek, Hermanns, Coleman etc. etc.)
Dude really – fire the FO for pluggin the biggest hole on offense RG with the #2 ranked guard in the draft (selected as the #2), and then plugging a potential hole at S with last years FS out with knee surgery and last years SS an unrestrcited FA that didn’t do so well last year?
On sencond thought, your right – WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE GUYS DOING DRAFTING FOR POSITIONS THEY NEED!
@Muimuiman –
Aldon Smith will be one of the top rookies in the NFL this year.
Watkins is a 2nd rd pick and Jarrett a 4th…. Eagles scouts blow!
question…..would you guys rather have our picks or the giants?
If you don’t like this pick, you are an idiot and are OUT OF TOUCH with the philadelphia sports scene! Jarrett is an animal and I didn’t think the Eagles would choose him but they did! I’m saying it right now, this guy is BABY DAWK!
Found this comment about Jarrett – for all the ‘we need to get tough’ crowd
Jarrett excels at coming downhill against the run, and his ferocious nature will add toughness to the unit. If
Songs you poor ignorant man – are you ever happy. Do you spend your whole life coveting what every other person, nieghbor or team has.
answer the question Navy…would you rather have our 2 picks or the Giants?
I’d rather have ours…..cause that means we’re going to get a CB either VIA trade or free agency — and we all know what that means.
I’d rather have the Giants picks and it isn’t close. Losing to them last year might have been better if I knew Prince and Austin would fall to where they did. The Eagles draft has been poor, again. Reaches, no bold moves, just really weak.
You idiots are media whores. Stop listening to what these so called “experts” say and do some research for yourself. The “Prince” is going to be a major bust and will be the most penalized DB in the league if he starts. Austin will be arrested by week 6.
We got an Olineman that is just an animal and a hometown product that I dubbed BABY DAWK a long time ago. I’m giving this draft an A so far.
Birdo…and if we don’t sign a CB through free agency or trade for one?
what would you think?
Birdo, whoa whoa whoa a baby dawk????? Are you nuts? Just bc he hits hard?
Songs – OURS –
You know that DT they drafted didn’t play last year – yet again you are caught in one of your ever changing BS stories – if the eagles drafted a player that didn’t play last year in round 2 you would be on this site screeching like a cat in heat how F upd the FO was – but someone else took him, he must be special.
now boy – I answered your question – you got any more?
Because he has instincts and is the QB of his defense. Learn your players.
@Songs — if we don’t get a CB through free agency or trade, THEN bitch about it….until then, STFU. It’s retarted to complain about it when we don’t know what they have brewing.
Baltimore and Giants are having a monster draft…and how about the real “Golden Standard” patriots?
Drafting Mallett to learn from Brady is genius..
I wonder if there’s a 30 year old cop we can possibly reach for in the 3rd round?
those public servants are wired for good team play according to Reid.
Navyeagle — no matter how many times the Eagles prove this idiot Songs wrong, he won’t ever learn. I don’t understand why ppl become fans of teams just to BITCH about them like females bitching about their men.
birdobeamen songs is a moron. don’t bother arguing with him.
Birdo..that wasn’t my question…My question to you was….
What would you feel if the Eagles didn’t get a CB in free agency or through a trade?
Birdo, that’s not even a solid reason, how dare you call that young man a baby dawk? Bc he barks out calls and hits hard… doesn’t make sense at all
wish we had bill bellichek to teach andy how to get early round picks instead of these late round jerk off picks.
Kc chiefs are having a quiet yet productive drafts… the pats always draft well. They could coach a bum to a probowl there unreal… eagles finally traded back
I’ve noticed “the Andy could do no wrong” crew are the same guys who claimed “The Ham Ripper” would be the next Aaaron Rogers.
come to reality instead of towing the company line.
It’s alright to criticise and a team that takes pride in mediocrity
It’s an irrelevent question Songs because they will.
the eagles got 4 great early rounders recently. (not including Allen or Graham. Name the patriots great early draft picks of late.
there’s the CB
Big Fast.
Guys, check him out on scoutsnotebook.com
Birdo…I knew you would avoid the question..
The possibility of them not getting a corner in free agency is too grim to even except …right?
Well let me help you buddy.
They have been talking about Trevard Lindley the same way they were talking up Hobbs when they traded Sheldon Brown.
Remember this post.
They will go into the season without addressing the right Corner position.
Curtis Marsh — good pick. I like the kid. Will probably be a legit PR/KR.
Former RB. Moved to CB in 2009 and then became full time starter this year. Looks natural at CB. Good size/speed combo. Can play in the slot or out wide. Talented cover guy, but still sorta raw. Has good feet. Can really jam receivers and use his size. Good hitter, tackler.
I don’t think this takes us out of the running for a FA CB. But I’m sure that’s what songs will say. Hey songs – there goes your blindspot theory.
Alright Songs, lets start putting our money where our mouth is. If the Eagles don’t address RCB position, I will never post on GCOBB.com again. If they do, YOU will never post on GCOBB.com again.
Feeling froggy chump?
Marsh is a good player… but they like wright from usc more
He’s a big corner 6’0 ina half too, he’s a baller
Marsh will be used in the dime to start off ala Matt Ware ……we may use him a bit in the redzone too against taller receivers depending on what happens with RCB.
Birdo…that’s a deal…..that includes a public apology in the last post and an agreement not to come in under another tag.
This does not include signing a bum from someone’s scrap heap.
Asomugha or the Jets Corner opposite Revis.
Is that a deal?
Blind Spot year 2!
Right Corner…….Book it
It’s a deal. I finally get to rid this site of you. Good riddance.
And its any legit corner at RCB. Not someone you state is a “bum”.
Jets got big DT HAMPTON
KENDRICK ELLIS
yes Birdo…must be a legit Right Corner…not a reject picked up off the srap heap. Not a player that use to be good coming off injury….If they sign Oaklands or the Jets corner I’ll write a long post gracefully bowing out and will never post again….
If they don’t sign em……you will do the same.
Andy said: with our coaches marsh will be a starter eventually
For one, those aren’t the only corners available.
For two, you stated it was going to be Lindley. I’m telling you it isn’t. Get ready to bow out of gcobb.com
Marsh is a solid pick..
the Jarrett pick was a reach.. he is a 4th rounder who struggles in coverage. Average speed, good tackler, tries to make the perfect hit.
@navyeaglefan – talking about this draft douche…
Heckert was the talent evaluator and look what he did for Cleveland last year and this year… Roseman and Reid are f-ing idiots!
what other corners are available?
Birdo let’s put iy out there right now so there’s no excuses.
What other right corners would suffice outside of the 2 i mentioned?
songs, they addressed your blind spot.
Jonathan Joseph, Brent Grimes, Josh Wilson…..I wouldn’t be pissed if we got Drayton Florence — if Kolb gets traded per rumors to ARZ, you already know the deal there, you’re a media whore so you should. Plenty of options at RCB that can get the job done over there.
