David Yankey is tall, quick on his feet, high football I.Q. and a hard working offensive guard from Stanford University. He has experience in a pro-style offense playing both guard and tackle. Expected to go in the third-fourth round range, the former Pac-12 standout could be on the radar of the Eagles.
There are notable questions and looming concerns with our current offensive guards. Herremans skill set has declined, Mathis is not happy about his current contract and both are over 30 years of age. Add in the fact that Herremans contract was given to him at the “offensive tackle” rate when he had made that switch a few seasons back; there is now a considerable “overpaid” cap figure for a regressing offensive guard.
Even with this predicament for the Eagles, this is a solid group who has built terrific chemistry. It should not be overlooked that there is cohesion amongst the o-line. They have a familiarity with the physical shape needed for the up-tempo style of this offense. They understand the ins and outs of the hand gestures/cue cards provided to them by the coaching staff. The projected starting quarterback, Nick Foles, he is still young, and having a reliable wall in front of him is necessary for him to improve on his 2013 season.
There has been no further “trade” mention of the Evan Mathis from the report he was seeking a new contract and a 3rd/4th round selection the Eagles were looking for as compensation. With the recent history and quiet stance of the franchise, “no news” is not necessarily good news; or perhaps it maybe this time around. Their hush-hush ways leave unnecessary speculation for an impactful player like Mathis; and in turn, teammates become targets by the media for further insight on the matter.
With the Eagles current state of their offensive line, this should be an area that is viewed as one of our strongest position groups.
If they elect to draft an offensive guard, Anthony Steen out of the University of Alabama would be a player I would target. He spent two seasons under the guidance of our offensive line coach and former Alabama offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland.
Rounds 1-2
Xavier Su’a-Filo (UCLA)
Joel Bitonio (Nevada)
Gabe Jackson (Mississippi State)
Rounds 3-4
Dakota Dozier (Furman)
Cyril Richardson( Baylor)
Rounds 4-5
Trai Turner (LSU)
Brandon Lindern (Miami (Fla.)
Rounds 5-6
Jon Halapio (Florida)
Anthony Steen (Alabama)
where is the analysis of david yankey?
Ha, merely the first small paragraph. I felt he was the best player that would be targeted in the third round if we elected to go offensive guard. I don’t believe the Eagles will draft an offensive lineman until round 5 at the earliest.
People read the mathis stuff a few weeks back, and immediately offensive guard became a “must need” in the first few rounds.
Offensive lineman typically get little streed cred, and perhaps I short changed his with this article as well.
Well I got them trading back out of the 1st rd with the 49ers so they will have a chance to draft a guard.
Jeff Stoutland was a terrific hire for the Eagles. Cyrus Kouandjio game collapsed without his presence while the Eagle OL flourished. I thought the Eagles would go OL in the first but the extension to Jason Peters delays that possibility. Gabe Jackson and Cyril Richardson are gigantic humans who need a huddle and probably aren’t system fits. There is nothing wrong with the talent of a DJ Fluker or Larry Warford but they huddle up guys. Chip needs endurance lineman like Kelce and Johnson. Jason Peter could play any system.
Stop talking like you have a clue…You don’t know what your talking about…
and I like how you reference GMCliff guys – Fluker, Warford, Richardon, and Jackson – Humor us, who would YOU suggest they draft to play the position?? Everyone I mention is this post, is a better player than any you would suggest……
I also suggested Kelechi Osemele, who some said wouldn’t be able to handle the position, and he started all year right into the SuperBowl – another Big guy that can move – and play in any system. Herremans, is also 6-5 330 –
You have no idea who can play in his system, and who can’t…
I enjoy the o-line talk. Runyan would give us props for all of our discussions of these massive players who do all the dirty work with little love from the fan base.
I wonder what % of Eagles jerseys sold last season were of offensive line players…?
GMCliff you do not own these players you delusional fool. “mine, mine, mine you can’t have them “—- you currently have 43 players for the 2014 draft that you have claimed as yours, you added another today.
I don’t have to own them to identify who they are as impact players, and professionals……which is something you can’t do….especially beyond the 2nd round….
jesus this is nauseating… throw in some humor boys and at least make ur dick swinging entertaining for the spectators
LMAO!
sorry Mhenski, I’ll stop poking the dingbat
poke all u want. all i ask is this whole battle gets some comedy infused, it is unbearable at the moment
OK, humor you got it —–
youtube.com/watch?v=icMly48cdQo
yawn………..
ask and you shall receive, mhenski, here is some comedy

gotcha GMCliff, you dingbat
yawn……………..
I’m still waiting for evaluation of Jeff Mathews QB Cornell……if you can’t evaluate him just say so. I’ll go to a real scout to get an evaluation.
Funny how you left that chat and went to another post without giving ANYTHING…..
I like QB Matthews from Cornell,
Tall, good Vision, strong arm and can make NFL throws with high Foitball IQ and solid Leadership skills and will be a nice pick-up for a Team looking to groom a young QB for 2-3 Years..
I would not be surprised to see the Patriots,49ers or even the Cowboys
Or Chiefs Select him in the 4th/5th Round..
Has good feet for a big guy also.. I believe he’s 6-4″ and about 230lbs
paulman thank you for your opinion on what you have read. I believe he won’t get drafted before the 7th round, more then likely he will go undrafted though.
How about a gentlesman’s bet that QB Jeff Matthews does get Drafted.. lots of Teams like his upside, Size,arm and High Football IQ..
Ok paulman….I say the 7th round or not, are you brave enough to bet 6th round or earlier? If so lets make a gentleman’s bet.
I say QB Matthews of Cornell will get Drafted and goes in the 6th Round to someone..
What’s the Bet… a Rutgers-Camden Hoodie..
I am an Alumni from there and can get a good deal on Rutgers-Camden stuff…
Ok, deal. Hope they make them in big sizes bc I’m a 3x lol
Guard David Yankey is a real Athlete at teh Guard position
6-6′ & 315 lbs, Runs a 5.48 40 Time, 28 1/2″ Vertical Jump, 22 Reps at 225lbs
(which is a tad light for a OL) .. He’s smart,athletic, player who is very polished and a high Football IQ… What scouts see as some weaknesses is his lack of Fire, lack of focus and finishing off plays until the whistle blows.. Almost a little too cerebreal and not emotional enough per some who would like to see more fire from him… Blocking out in Space and on Screens or up to the 2nd & 3rd Level’s is very impressive, but lack a strong punch and will at teh point of attack is what many reports summarized about his Play
Projects as a 3rd and probably best suited for an up-tempo style of Offense where speed, leverage and athleticism are required ..
I saw on ESPN today….Mark Schlereth (Stink) said that after watching tape he thinks Yankey is not that good at all and is going to have a hard time making it the NFL. He is to stiff and not athletic at all as far as being an OL.
Many times you hear this about Stanford OL coming out,
is that they are a little stiff and lack good hip movement and overall athleticism. I am not so sure that their Power Running Scheme and straight line Blocking techniques that they focus on Is not a cause for this
Most NFL Teams now utilize the Zone-Blocking Scheme which does require more athleticism and working angles & shielding in unison then it does Mano on Mano blocking..
I believe there are 3-4 Pro-Bowl Type Guards in this Draft
Xavier Su’a’-Filo (UCLA)
Gabe Jackson (Ole Miss)
Joel Bitonio (Nevada) though he nay start out at RT
And Tra Turner from LSU who is still raw, but very quick and strong
and Injured Guard Brandon Thomad (Clemson) who unfortunately tore his ACL in College Work Day a few weeks back and will probably miss the entire 2014 Season, but 2-3 Years down the road,
I like all these Guards as High-End NFL Players
I smell a mock draft coming
Hey Pman he sees some green hell get focused lmao
***NFL News*****
The NFL will come out with Game Schedules
Tomorrow Evening (Wed 4/23) at 8pm
The NFL Channel will have “Game Schedule Show from
8pm-10pm for those who are interested
I see 4 National Games This Year for Eagles
Redskins vs the Eagles on a Monday Night Game at the Linc early on
A Road Game vs 49ers
A Home Game versus the Colts
A Thanksgivibg game versus the Cowboys in Dallas
That’s my Prediction..
United states supreme court levels the field after years of affirmative action. Michigan voters passed a constitution al amendment preventing race as a basis for admitting students. This vote by the majority of right thinking Americans in Michigan, black and white, recognize that race is no longer a valid argument for the subjugation of blacks, slavery is ancient history. If you can’t make it in this country, you get your ass cut like this miscreant Jackson, it has nothing to do with your color

I have a few questions…..is knowing how to spell a players name, knowing what college he went to, looking up his measurables, knowing his position, and being able to Google him to read up on him, count as scouting? Does watching a player play 1 game mean you scouted him?
Another question…..isn’t the whole idea of having a Mock Draft is to know the team and their needs and picking a player that fits the team? Or is it just typing in a name of someone YOU want to see the team draft?
No it’s not Iggles27
I do think by watching a Player play, Reading up on them, getting comment’s from other Teammates,Opponents,Coach’s,Scouts, Scouting Service’s on a Player all helps me as a “lay person” to get a feel for a Player.. I like to learn where they Played, versus what type of Competition, the Coaching Staff they receiving their Coaching, what system are they Playing in College, how did they do in the “big-games” and against similar type of Talent and Competition..
But it’s not Scouting where Scouts spend Hours of breaking down Film,
Knowing what Systems the Players are in relation to what their responsibilities are in that system.. Scouts Interview Coach’s, learn about a Player’s past,motivations,harships, strengths, weaknesses that us “lay people” would have little to no insight about …
A Play has to past the “eye test” but many times what Players are asked to do in College is not going to be the smae thing once they reach the Por’s which is how many QB’s and WR’s and DB’s really struggle to the NFL Level…
I do beleive, as a laymen, and for as long as I have been watching Football, that I can tell when a Player who has those natural instincts and strong fundamentals in footwork,hand movement if on the line of scrimmage, good hip movement,good balancem tackling, making plays on a ball in the air, having good field vision as a RB or a Safety, who has a solid Football IQ and received good Coaching..
I don’t believe you have to be a “Scout” to recognize these things..
LOL, GMCliff, whatever initial satisfaction you might have enjoyed in belittling and dismissing Igglessb27 has to have dissipated by now. This guy is throwing straight right crosses at your jaw. Ouch!
Yawn…….
after reading the nonsensical feud you created for yourself last night with Igglessb27, I couldn’t help but notice added some more names to your list:
44)Brandon Denmark
45)Julien David
46)David Born
47)Cory Washington
48)Ethan Westbrooks
49)Howard Jones
50) and 51) Carlos Fields, and Jordan Love………
Will you be claiming these too as yours or are they just names?
They weren’t added. they were always there…..they are the UDFA’s I posted earlier on another post…
You still have yet to display any “scouting” or “evaluating” skills. All you do is post “yawn” or “bc I said so” or “I’m the head bitch in charge” and look up names to post.
Here’s a helpful hint……just list EVERYONE draft eligible but don’t say if you think they will be a bust or not. Then next year you can say “see I told you he’d be a stud/bust”
Impress the GCobb community and give us YOUR evaluation on 1 single player. Make it Clowney…..evaluate and own it! Now is your chance to show the world your skills or lack of.
Dude, you need a hobby. This obsession with Cliff is a cry for help. We may need a GCobb intervention before the draft. Get a girlfriend or goldfish, or maybe even a sense of humor, because you are completely boring with the 1st grade “you don’t know that” crying. Like mhenski said earlier….if you want to continue to be obsessed with Cliff at least give us something to laugh about.
Ok greenfan, I’ll leave the jackass alone. I find it very funny that he has you all fooled that he actually knows something.
Believe it or not I’m getting paid to post on here, so there laugh about that. My gf actually types all this stuff for me and changes what I say around so in actuality he has been arguing with a woman and getting his ass handed to him.
LOL, GMCliff you got the boyfriend involved. I advised you to leave him and or her alone.
WTF, so you attack GMcliff then drop the I get paid to post and my girlfriend is typing my responses. This site is the best. Paulman when Gloomy gets elected President Igglessb27 can be his running mate. LOL
I guess the site needed to replace all of the Vick SockPuppets so now we have Igglessb27 and a few other new ones. Gone are Skayne & Sherel et al….oh well, just the way the interweb works these days….looking for the most clicks they can get to generate revenue.
Jealousy has reared its ugly head, lmao. Sorry boys that I have a woman that wants to make her man happy and wants to help him out while he handles his duties as a man.
GCobb doesn’t pay me……if you guys search you can find websites that pay you to post on others. So I have my regular job that pays me well and this 2nd gig that pays too. The best payment is getting peoples panties in a bunch and watch them throw hissy fits.
Another funny part is that my woman works for NFL Films and can get me anything to do with a player. So when frauds post crap like they know thinking no one will know the difference, i sit back and laugh at them.
Sorry Biglion821, I’d be President and Gloomy will be my running mate, lol.
Believe it or not I’m getting paid to post on here, so there laugh about that………Okay
Jeff, do you, or Denny, know anything about E0S -aka Wiggles – getting paid to post on GCobb.com……and please have Gary verify on post so we can all have a laugh please….
advertisers are interested in pageviews not clicks… this website is making somewhere between $25 and $50 a day so i dont think gcobb can pay sock puppets and i dont think it would be worth it to do it himself or have interns…
Fellas don’t bother encouraging E0S…He likes to hear himself talk, either as his usual jackass self E0S, or Wiggles, or _gmcliff…..
He really believes, you feel I haven’t been as consistent over the years as I have stated over, and over again…..
Like I said E0S – You haven’t changed anything – so when are you going to give up??? Your not embarrassing me, nor upsetting me, and I’m not going anywhere…….
Another funny part is that my woman works for NFL Films and can get me anything to do with a player. ……LOL!!!!!!!!! Now whose lying????/
That is funny, and yet she STILL has time to post on here….
You’ve been caught in so many lies E0S…….SAVE FACE, AND JUST SHUT UP….
How can anyone not love this site??? 27 I stand corrected, I wouldn’t want Gloomy’s ass anywhere near the red button anyway I stand corrected. LMAO
GMCliff – I’m the only one in the world who cares about your draft prospect predictions. I pay attention to every word you predict.
I don’t receive a salary anywhere. I volunteer at my library and my church weekly.
Wrong, for years most on here value my opinion, mainly because I am the only on eon here who has been consistently right when it comes to these prospects……
However, They can’t say the same for you…….I think that’s what your problem is.
Church obviously doesn’t do you any good Lying, and pretending to be other people proves Green fan right……..your cry for help is loud, and clear…….and all the while GMCliff is still the man.
I’m no Mel kiper or mike mayock watch some stuff on some players but I don’t scout every player in the draft hell no and I usually pick players that they need and that should fit there scheme I try to never say I guy I want cause if it was up to me they would draft Mack or Watkins, but I know that’s not realistic and I don’t think anybody watches every game of every player that’s impossible I don’t have that much time on my hands personally.
I heard from unamed sources, that you go to the same “Hair Stylists” as
Mel Kiper Jr does Gloomym . Is this True ? 🙂
lol Paulman lol I wish I had kipers hair

gloomy i am beginning to think you have a cocaine addiction
LOL!!!!!!!!!
Again gmcliff you have NOTHING to offer. What a waste of space. Stop posting until you can post something believable and relevant.
yawn…………….
yawn…………bitch get something new. Yes I have time to do things for my man. I type 75 words a min so it takes me less then a min or two to type up a post. Just bc you don’t have time to type while flipping burgers doesn’t mean people with real jobs don’t have time to do things.
BTW……there is no 5bdr 4 bathroom house in Woodlands at Saint George’s. Nice try liar!
If you don’t know what your talking about E0S, then don’t put your foot in your mouth…….I know what I have…..Yawn…….
You bore me. I really can care less what you say….
LOL!!! First you tell us your a 42 year old man with children, and now you say your a woman – You have some real issues E0S I told you before that there is help for you at 1-800 – DUMBASS –
That’s where Schiller went when he went crazy trying to discredit me….You don’t have what it takes son…you are overmatched – bow down….
and your right – it’s 4 and a half Baths
YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clearly you can’t read!!!! He is a 42 yr old MAN……this is his woman typing you again.
April 23, 2014 – 6:20 pm
yawn…………bitch get something new. Yes I have time to do things for my man. I type 75 words a min so it takes me less then a min or two to type up a post. Thats from earlier.
And yes I called TOLL Brothers Builders and they said they do not and have not built a 5bdr 4.5 bath house ANYWHERE……do better research next time before you lie!
You are truly pathetic!!!! Go drum up a new set of lie’s
I don’t care who you called…..I know what’s in my house….So you got on the internet, and saw who built my house, and now are trying to lie about how I arranged for it to built.
My house was built to my specifications. What does that have to do with my success in identifying impact players in the draft E0S???
That crazy obsessed move you just posted confirms for me that you and Wiggles are one in the same – no one is more obsessed with me than E0S – NOBODYS WIFE IS GOING TO BE SO AGGRESSIVE TO INSULT SOMEONE THEY DON’T KNOW………You need a wife E0S – Because I really think you need some pussy……
I’m still waiting for a copy of my word for word analysis I got from Google
and just so you know, That I know you are lying…
5 Bedrooms, and 4 and a half Bathrooms are standard in my development, unless you want more built for the model you choose.
My home is paid for – no mortgage….how about you? – Nah!!! I forgot you have to work those 2 jobs, while your so called wife works for NFL Films – Pssst!! If my wife worked for NFL Films, I wouldn’t need a second job………You’re the flat out liar..
Also I read just fine – but I’m not stupid enough to believe – nor should I E0S…..you’re really getting desperate in your endeavor to make me look something other than the GCobb Family see’s me as aren’t you????…….Well kick rocks, I told you, that you were wasting your time………
gmcliff…..first let me apologize for how my woman has tore you up and embarrassed you on the site.
2nd….clearly you can’t read bc it was stated she is my gf and that I am not married. We have been dating for almost a year which is not nearly long enough to consider marriage. Plus, I understand that you are used to living on burger flipping money BUT not everyone likes to live like that. My gf makes good money but not enough to support both of us, my daughter, and her daughter with the life style we like to live.
3rd….she really called Toll Brothers builders and they said they cannot and will not build a 5bdr 4 bath house in that develpment.
4th…I have a “2nd job” bc its easy money and even the truly rich people always like to make more money. I also own half of my brothers business in NY plus I have rental properties. See I LOVE money so I will do whatever it takes to make MORE money. BTW….IF what you say is true that you just had that shack built and you have no mortgage, you clearly are not very financially savvy.
But thats enough about how great my life is and how big your fantasy world is. This is a football site and thats what I am going to enjoy. So lets call a truce…..you don’t address me and I won’t point out every time you lie. You mention me and I’ll continue to point out your lies.
Get back to work as there is roughly 1000 guys eligible for the draft, thats alot of scouting.
You’re a liar, and you keep contradicting yourself.
I doesn’t matter, because that is what I live in, and if you visited the model – It is a 5 bedroom 41/2 bath, which is standard.
LOL!! You are living in your own world, if you think anyone has tore me up in anyway E0S…..
I give less than a darn about your personal life. My point as always to you E0S, is that you will never have the eye for talent in the NFL, that I have……..I’ve proved it – something you have yet to do – outside your one-sided opinion that nobody agrees with except your alter egos – Wiggles, and_gmcliff…….
and all the while, I’m STILL standing on top…
But Cliff you don’t understand. His typist / girlfriend cleans the offices at NFL Films, so he has access to every note that Jaws throws in his trash can. This is information that you just cannot get anywhere. He is a special contributor to GCobb, he has a typist and mole inside NFL Films, who could be more special?
Right Greenfan…a Special Liar….with no talent in talent evaluation, so he pretends to be other people, so E0S, can say he never liked that prospect when he turns out to be nothing but a special teamer, or a Practice Squad guy……….
The sad thing is, he really believes we don’t see through it…
Somebody get that Damn “Dradt Value Chart” away from Gloomy..
He’s going off the deep-end..
Those aren’t crazy trades 49ers would only give up a 3rd and 4th and the jets would give up a 2nd 3rd and 6th
are the eagles cutting 13 players to make room for these guys?
They don’t need to cut 13 players 3players are already traded so were down to 10 in the mock 1 of the players is a guard that would be put on IR due to him tearing his ACL two of the picks are wr’s so were down to 7 players now there is no depth at cb they would both make the team were down to 5 now and the the final 3 picks in the mock would be on the practice squad that leaves two Casey Matthews will be cut so that leaves one and they still need depth on the dline.
I just don’t special Players in the late 1St Round for Teams to give up 3 Draft Selections for.. Who are Jets targeting at #30 to give up 3 Picks?
You follow me…
If any of these trades occur, I’m nominating Gloomy for honorary President of the GCobb site. He gets a 4 year term. LOL
Does Gloomy get Free “ObamaCare” also, or does he rescind the Affordable Health Care Act… Lots of Pressure on Gloomy…
For GCobb Posters yes he will have the power to rescind the ACA.
Lol…too funny. I second the nomination.
Pman is going to be losing his Trader-Paul handle soon if Gloomy keeps this up!!
Gloomy is the best, I can just imagine this guy on draft day in his man cave just losing his shit every time it’s the Eagles turn to draft. LOL Yelling in the bat phone for Howie to trade down!!! Gloomy you know I’m just messing with you keep up the scenarios man.

Gloomy – you may be ahead of the curve again like you were with Desean trade rumors. the local guy from NFL films, Greg Cosell was pumping up Donte Moncrief on the Eagles website. Paulman likes him too. I might have to consider switching out Jordon Matthews on my mock draft wish list for Donte Moncrief. Give me some pros and maybe a con on Moncrief?
From what I’ve seen of him he runs good routes and gets in and out them with ease uses his body well in the air. With his size/speed combo has the potential to be a #1 or a very good #2. Blocks well also only negative I’ve seen of him is focus that’s it or even heard of for that matter. Paulman might have alittle more on him.
Moncrief is more of a body catcher than a hands catcher. He needs to spend time on the jugs machine. Takes time to build up top level speed when accelerating. I like Cody Latimer a little more than Moncrief.
Overview
Highly recruited Mississippi prep who also played basketball and won a pair of long jump state championships. As a true freshman in 2011, started all 12 games at split end and recorded 31 receptions for 454 yards (14.6-yard average) and four touchdowns. Was the Rebels’ leading receiver in ’12 when he started 12-of-13 games (gave way to extra tight end against Texas) and snagged 66-979-10 (14.8). Started all 13 games in ’13 and posted 59-938-6 (15.9).
Analysis
Strengths
Terrific size. Smooth accelerator — jets off the line, eliminates cushion and has speed to stretch the field vertically. Good balance and body control. Can stem his pattern and leverage defenders. Drives off cornerbacks and creates separation. Knows where the sticks are. Outstanding leaping ability to elevate and pluck throws out of the air. Flashes playmaking ability. Able to sidestep the first tackler and pick up chunk yards after the catch. Gives effort as a blocker to engage and seal. Has experience going head-to-head with NFL-caliber cornerbacks. Will be a 21-year-old rookie and has upside. Tied for the longest broad jump (11-foot) among receivers at the combine.
Weaknesses
Needs to sharpen his route running. Inconsistent ball reactions, particularly in traffic — better running through or under passes. Does not always play to his size — gets outmuscled for “50-50” balls and is still coming into his own as a dependable go-up-and-get-it guy. Average hand strength. Tends to trap some throws against his body and occasionally drops catchable balls. Could be more physical. Average elusiveness and open-field electricity. Showed he could be contained — seven games of 60 yards or less as a junior.
Draft Projection
Rounds 1-2
Bottom Line
Big, physically gifted “X” receiver with deep speed, leaping potential and playmaking ability. Could emerge a No. 1 or No. 2 receiver in a vertical passing offense, and his best football is in front him. Solid combine showing and pro-day workout have ascended his draft standing.
Good call EHL, I just watched a 3 minute highlight video on youtube of Cody Latimer. He is more musculature than I anticipated, he is a big dude. I am going to see if I can find any videos of Cory Latimer against Dennard or Roby.
Cory Latimer looked good against Michigan State especially blocking in the 4 minute youtube video.
E0S…. Cody Latimer ran a 4.38 at his pro day. The Eagles brought him in for a visit already. They probably wanted to check out his foot which was broken earlier in the year. Yes, he ran that time with a healing foot.
Latimer is an intriguing Prospect with lots
Of upside..he’s more raw, not very polished or smooth yet
In his route running and has a thinner & taller build.
I am not so sure about his blocking and durability and will likely need a season or two of getting stronger to make an impact
But he has the tools, hands are still a little inconsistent
In my opinion..but he will be a good WR
i
After studying five games of Indiana WR Cody Latimer, ESPN’s Todd McShay declared him “the most underrated player in the draft.”
“He did not drop a pass in five games I studied,” stated McShay, who is all-in on Latimer’s pro prospects. Latimer stands just under 6-foot-3 and weighs 215, and McShay reported he was clocked as fast as 4.39 at IU’s Pro Day. There are whispers Latimer could sneak into the back end of the draft’s first round. Jets GM John Idzik and Chargers GM Tom Telesco attended his Pro Day.
Apr 23 – 1:22 P
I heard that Latimer could sneak into the end of the first too. He was initially projected as a fifth rounder.
Latimer is in no way thin..he’s built like a bradley fighting vehicle.
I’ve liked WR Moncreif since last College Season, He’s big at 6-2 weighs a solid 221lbs, and makes plays.. He’s tough, likes to block, and will catch balls over the middle and in traffic and the red-zone and has that sneaky speed to make yards after the catch or burn a defense deep if you fall asleep on him..
Some of his Measurables
Ran a 4.40 in the 40 Time at Combine
39 & 1/2″ Vertical Leap which is huge in the Red-Zone
11″ Broad Jump and 13 Reps at 225lbs, which you would like to see a higher number there…
Career Stats in 37 Games while at Ole Miss
150 Receptions
2258 yards (15.0 Yrd Avg)
19 TD’s
A couple of things that stand out to me, is that he’s played for 3 Different QB’s while at Old Miss,neither of which, are NFL Caliber QB’s so he’s been patient, a Team Guy and not allow their issues at QB effect his game..
He’s been Ole Miss’s best weapon the last 2 Season so he’s seen a lot of Double Teams from Good Teams in the SEC (Alabama,LSU,Georgia, etc,etc) and has consistently produced and played , so he’s durable..
He runs routes very smoothly and is very quick in and out of breaks and can maintain his speed through-out the route tree..
He has a strong, lower body that allows him to run thru arm tackles and get YAC and then his hands and leaping ability are outstanding..
From all reports that I’ve read, he’s hard-working, reliable and a humble kid
He may lack a bit to straight-line elite speed, but when watching tape, he plays the game as a fast speed…
I like this Moncrief a lot and he reminds me a little like a young Mike Quick
or a current day Reggie Wayne, in the way that he goes about his business and performs consistently at a high level…
Eagles needs
2. Cbs
2.wr’s
1. Olb
1. Ilb
2 dlinemen
2.olinemen
1.kicker
1.safety
1 tight end
So yes they would be able to keep 13 draft picks
1. Te
what te are they cutting/trading? casey?
what corner are they cutting/trading?
imo eagles need 3 or 4 dl. square, curry, kruger, blair are not locks for jobs…
Eagles somehow needs to get 10-13 picks to add depth and to replace the following players who just aren’t any good.
1.jeff maehi- not good at all
2.roc Carmichael-should be a practice squad guy at best
3.damion square- he is to light to ever be a DT.
4.casey Matthews- he sucks
5. Damaris Johnson- to small not enough moves looks scared on punt/kickoffs
6.jake knott- once you do drugs your out
7.curtis marsh- a wasted 3rd pick
8.vinny curry- would love him if we played a 4-3 trade him for 2015 picks
9.james Casey- he played st for all that sad
10-13 Picks this Draft is just unrealistic Gloomy..
All Teams wants Picks in this Draft… I see the Eagles getting 2 more Selectiosn to make it 8 for this Draft, by a combination of Trading Back and or Trading Guard Evan Mathis, who probably has the highest Value right now (A 3rd Rounder) where B Graham & B Brown will likely only return a 6th/7th Rd Picks
Trade Alert!
Eagles trade their whole team to other teams and end up with 50 picks in this year’s draft.
Schedule release tonight at 8:00pm EST on NFL Network. I guess we will see what we shall see.
all home games at 1:00 pm Sunday, fingers crossed
3-4 National Televised Games
1 Sunday Night – (Home versus Redskins & D-Jax)
1 Monday Night – (Versus Seattle or 49ers)
1 Thursday Night – (Versus Indy Colts)
1 Thanksgiving Game – (at Dallas Cowboys)
Com’on Paul.
Last 6 Cowboys opponents on Thanksgiving….shitty TB, shitty jets, still shitty seahawks, shitty raiders, shitty dolphins, skins (who everyone thought would be shitty, and shitty raiders again.
They give the Boys a freebie on Thanksgiving, so they won’t be playing the Eagles.
Vinnie,
Each Year both the Cowboys and Lions alternate playing a Divisional Foe
Last Year Lions/Packers, meaning the Cowboys play an AFC Team
Year Before Lions/AFC Team Texans while the Cowboys played Redskins and so on and so on
This 2014 Thanksgiving will have the Cowboys playing a Divisional opponent and since they played RGIII 2 Years ago, it will be between the Giants and Eagles…
Sorry Paul….they do not play a divisional team every 2nd year. Theymay switch NFC and AFC, but they do not play a divisional game evey 2nd year.
I just listed their last 7 opponents. The Skins were their only divisional opponent in the last 7 years…and that was with them coming off a 6-10 season.
Other than that it was Oakland 2x, Miami without a qb, an under .500 seahawks team, etc etc.
Last time the Eagles played Dallas on Thanksgiving was 1989.
Last time was 2008, and next time is 2014 as I told you it would be, Vinnie… C’mon Man…
Call me crazy but I want all there games to be @1pm I just hate sitting around all day waiting for them to play it’s the worst thing ever if it’s no good games showing in your market and I have to watch jets play or jags lol and Paulman they can get 10picks it’s not hard. If they trade back to 30 they are gonna trade out after that it’s nobody there late worth taking unless they really love the guard from ucla.
Word is 1st Home Game Sunday Night Versus the Redskins
Eagles will be giving out “20,000 Draft Trade Charts”
And 10,000 Gloomy Bobble-Heads along with
10,000 leftover and Old D-Jax Bobble-Heads Dolls..
Should be a Spectacle…
LOL Classic paulman just classic. I think 8 out the 16 Eagles games will be prime time games.
Sorry Gloomy, I could not help myself.. 🙂
Lol to funny Paulman
1 Eagles Sunday Night game announced. NY Giants via WFAN has the Giants schedule and they play the Eagles Sunday Night Oct 12 in Philly.
The Eagles also end the season on Dec 28th at the Giants.
8 prime time games Dag at least 8.
Wow have of there schedule is gonna be in prime time wow there must be atleast 3 games flexed to do that.
When I say 8 Gloomy I’m including the national 4 PM games as well. Just think about the schedule, 49’ers, Seattle the Redskins games they are going to be in demand especially if they get off to a good start.

A nice Opening Schedule for the G-Men
They could be 4-1 when they face the Eagles Oct 12
And not a difficult end schedule with Winnable Games
Home vs Cowboys, At Jax, Titans, then Home vs Redskins & Eagles with Road Trip to ST Louis in between..
See about 9 Wins for them..
Howard Eskin is reporting that the Eagles may be in NY on the 12th and the last game of the year vs the Gmen may be at home. Its not clear.
if Dags schedule is real then Thanksgiving is November 27, 2014 so NYGiants play Dallas that Sunday Night home.
***Paulmans Last Eagles Mock before NFL Schedule is Released at 8pm**
1st Rd – CB Kyle Fuller (Va Tech)
2nd Rd – DT Da’Quan Jones (Penn State)
3rd Rd – Guard Trai Turner (LSU)
4th Rd – WR Jarvis Landry (LSU)
5th Rd – Safety Isiah Lewis (Mich State)
7th Rd – WR/Returnman Joe Brown (Pittsburgh State)
I’ll have one after the schedule comes out
Eagles & Cowboys Thanksgiving Day as I called..
Sorry Vinnie, you should have bet on me …
Those first 6 games before the bye they must go 5-1 or 4-2
Then the Mark Sanchez Factor comes alive..
2 Monday Night Games
Eagles at Indianapolis
Panthers at Eagles
road Monday night team, ouch. Hope the following short week opponent aren’t difficult.
They must go at least 4-2 I’m the division
And get wins against
Jags
Titans
Panthers
Texans
Rams
Cards
And that’s how they get there 10 wins and they will probably sneak out one or two of those other games.
Lose to the good teams and beat the bad teams. When is it our turn to be the good team?

The Eagles Dallas game is played out. To play Dallas Thanksgiving Day then turn around and play them Sunday night is played out. Time to schedule someone else prime time.
way to running Thanksgiving Dinner NFL — 4:30 pm? really C’mon-
oops, ruin Thanksgiving
Looks like a “KFC or Bojangles” Thanksgiving..
Love it… Go Eagles..
There’s 10 Days in-between the Thanksgiving (11/27)
Game and Hosting the Seahawks Dec 7th..
A very good situation for Eagles, don’t you think?
Paulman called for 4 National Games (Including Turkey Day vs Cowboys)
And got 3 of their Opponents correct in the
Colts,49ers & Cowboys..
Looks to be a good Schedule..
Nice Finish with 3 NFC East Games to close out the Season
After Cowboys Thanksgiving game, they will have 10 day break before the Seahawks fly east to Philly which is almost like having 2 Bye’s ..
Paulman Eagles beat Seattle at home. But will lose @ Arizona.
I agree Dag,
Who does Seattle Play the Sunday b4 Eagles who will have a 10 Day break after Turkey day game..
San Fran, then Eagles, then San Fran again but the Seahawks get 10 days before Eagle game which is sandwiched between two 49er games, I think
Paulman they have 8 national games just as I predicted.
Dag, There’s 10 Days in-between the Thanksgiving (11/27)
Game and Hosting the Seahawks Dec 7th..
A very good situation for Eagles, don’t you think?
Great Call Biggy,
Maybe the Eagles will give out “Stuffed Lions” instead of Gloomy’s
“Draft Trade Charts”…
Dammit Newman I mean Paulman lol
Ha Ha..Good One Gloomy..
LOL

I’m begging you lord they let them be dumb please smack howie and make him trade..
It appears no “Draft Trade Chart Night” at the Link Gloomy.. 🙁
I Like your Mock, but Cooks and Attachou will be off the board
By #22 & #54 picks, I am afraid..
Wow just read something that said Benjamin might be a good tight end in the nfl..
Ebron can’t block a lick so there probably isn’t that big a difference between the 2, Denver Bronco TE Thomas doesn’t block nor does Jimmy Graham. Dallas Clark and Shannon made a great living being catch first barely block Tight Ends.
Think Shannon Sharpe Gloomy
any one else an Eagle ticket holder who hates night games also? 3 games and 2 divisional games ruined by TV 8:30 pm games. Who wants to drive home at midnight on the road with a bunch of drunks.
It definitely puts a hardship for those having to drive home and be somewhat functional at work the next day.. The Price of Success & Popularity, I guess
I prefer the late Afternoons myself,(4-430pm) in the comfort of my Home, with good Food & Drink in the “Man-Cave”
Yeah but the atmosphere at game time is electric. Just ask the Bears.
Word is that Joe Kruger is now weighing in at 290 after working with the Birds trainers. He left school after only 3 years to be in last years draft. With his added size (adding almost 30 pounds), I am hopeful that he will be someone to contribute to the DLine rotation. We lost Geathers to FA, and someone will need to step up and fill the spot. I look at Kruger as a new draft pick this year and hoping that we can get some production out of him. Lord knows we need to have a better defensive line and a better pass rush if we want to have any success this coming year.
I also heard that Kruger has signed a Deal with Vince McMahon and the WWF crowd if his Eagles Career doesn’t work out..
