Both Coop and Maclin will be unrestricted free agents. I might take a look at the players available in the draft, but I really want defense to be the focus. Bringing back Cooper plus another receiver with the second or third pick sounds like a good plan to me. What do you think?

Eagles UFAs
QB: Michael Vick
WR: Jeremy Maclin, Riley Cooper, Arrelious Benn
DT: Jeff Owen
DE: Clitton Geathers, Cedric Thornton
LB: Phillip Hunt
CB: Jorrick Calvin, Kevin Thomas
S: Nate Allen, Kurt Coleman, Colt Anderson
P: Donnie Jones

Cooper and Maclin could both potentially be resigned. If both cannot be kept, I'd keep Cooper and draft another WR in the 2nd round.

It all depends on what Chip's focus is in this draft. If it was up to me, I'd be moving up in the 1st round for ClintonDix from Alabama. He addresses the big need on defense. They need a safety. Chung is garbage.

Chung is frustrating, but Wolff played well this year when healthy. If we didn't look to improve externally, I would be happy with him starting.

Agreed on Maclin, nobody is gonna give him a screaming deal, (maybe Cleveland cause of Banner) but coming back from another knee injury isn't gonna fetch him top dollar. Benn is also another interesting prospect, also hurt nobody is gonna offer top dollar, could be huge if they low ball both and see who recovers the fastest.

As for Cooper, Foles really looked for him alot, the whole height and vertical is great to have, I think they resign him...

The ones in bold are the only one's I'd keep - I'd see about a sign and trade with Jeremy Maclin to maybe get another pick - teams would be very interested in him I'd suppose

Donnie Jones was stellar this season, I'd definitely keep him and I also like Cedric Thornton as well

As for the WR situation, I keep Riley Cooper and sign-trade Jeremy Maclin and then get a WR in the draft

You have to bring Cooper back, simply because he was Nick's clear-cut favorite target this year. Don't mess with a good thing. If Maclin is willing to take a cap-friendly deal, I'd love to have him back as well .... but I wouldn't overpay for him.
