Eagles Draft Thoughts (19 Days away)

[Susky]

And like anything you try and plan for, it quickly all turns to shit. Rams just sold the farm to move to the #1 slot. I wonder which QB they're going after...

I must be the only one that likes Bradford in our O.

I like him too. That guy has played on horrible teams, had 2 ACL injuries, missed a lot of time, but after he got his legs back last season, I thought he was pretty good. Do these people realize he did not play much in the pre-season? I hope he is our franchise QB, that way we don't have to spend or trade for a very high pick anytime soon.

I would like the Eagles to trade back, recover a 3nd rd pick, and draft Paxton Lynch. I think with time and coaching, he may turn out to be the best of the bunch. Let him sit for a few years ala Rodgers in GB.

This makes me wonder if we trade 8 to move back a few spots? We get a 2nd rounder back. Draft Conklin, Von Bell and a RB in 3rd along w a QB?

I'm now thinking that keeping Bradford and Daniels isn't also a hedge in case something crazy happens in the draft...like the Rams jumping up to #1. LOL

Lynch will go sometime in the 1st though especially if the Browns take the second quarterback off the board.

I still see Denver making things shake up somewhere?

The Rams will cut Foles Denver will sign him the broncos win the Super Bowl lol.

I think Denver really wants Lynch from what I've read. I can't imagine that they feel confident in Sanchez and possibly Foles?

Let's say we drop back to 15 - 20. Lynch may drop. If we can get one of those picks and a 2nd, I take him.

 

[mall3013]

If we trade back, I'm looking very hard at Derron Lee and or Conklin.. Lee playing along side w Hicks? Our LB will be awesome. Jack will be gone by 5th pick.

That would be the ideal situation, in terms of moving back if we can snag a #2. Hogan should be there in the later rounds. Tho others have mentioned another QB that isn't a house hold name this draft.

You cant say with any certainty that Wentz will flop and those guys wont.

Wentz played against your neighborhood team.

Lots of us said "pay Bradford now because the Eagles have no QB." You can't just get rid of Bradford and hope something else happens. The Eagles played it right no matter what they really wanted to happen.

The Titans now become a serious trade up option as from what I hear they really want OT Ronnie Stanley and he's not going to be available at 15 (likely won't get past the Giants at 10). There was word out there that if they stayed at 1 it was really close between Tunsil and Stanley if they went OT. If Stanley is still there at 8 they can move up from 15, still get their guy (probably for a 2nd and 4th) and still keep all the other picks they got from the Rams.

I'd want their original pick in the second. Pick #33.

Down to 15 could work for us but Conklin could be gone and we'd have to hope for one of the top corners. What do you do if Conklin, Alexander, and Apple all go?

Conk would probably be my first option at 15, but others I like in that area are Darron Lee, Noah Spence and Mac Alexander. Paxton Lynch at that point becomes a legit option if still there.

 

[Susky]

The old value chart shows our #8 and one of our 3rds would be roughly equivalent to their #15 and one of their 2nds. But if they want it badly enough, they already have enough 3rd round picks, so they might just do a two for one deal.

 

[WIZ]

Spence at 15 is risky but could be the SOTD.

 

[old duke]

We pick Decker or Spriggs.
