2014 - 15 College / Eagles Draft Talk

Overall this draft blows....it's weak at many of the positions we need the most.

Yup….I'm not too fond of this draft. Another reason why trading multiple 2015 picks (and a 2016 1st) to get Mariota is ideal.

That's what I've been thinking. Really can't expect much out of the later rounds. If there was ever a time to blow all your picks on a trade up this might be the time. Excuse me now while I go

Maclin's replacement? Bill Polian high on Ohio State's Devin Smith | Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia

Interesting thoughts from Polian.

 

[Birds4life81]

Love me some Devin Smith. I want him or Agholor.

 

[old duke]

Agholor.

 

[eaglesnut]

Agholor.

I agree.

Also that would mean no Mariota... so I agree again.

 

[Wings]

Love me some Mariota or Perriman.

I think this draft is good at certain positions like WR, even if it is not quite as good as last year for those positions. I also think it is decent at corner and OLB. I don't think it is terrible overall.

Ben Heeney is my new favorite sleeper ILB. Only 6ft 231lbs but this guy is a missile. Good instincts and explosiveness to the ball, delivers the blow with good impact. Tackling machine with very good form. Shows the ability to play in coverage and not be a liability. Highly active, gives his full effort, high motor. Reportedly a high character guy who loves the game of football and wants to be the best he can be. Displays the athletic ability on tape and at the combine. 4.59 40, 6.68 3-cone, 4.00 shuttle, 10ft broad. Very productive player who saved his best season for last with 127 tackles, 12 TFL, 1.5 sacks, 1 INT, 2 FF.

Yeah it's 2013 but still, dude can play.

I'll gladly take this guy in the 4th if we can't get someone like Kendricks earlier.

He's a pretty well known college ILB, was definitely very productive. I think he has done better in workouts than people expected. I think they expected he would run like a 4.8 and he didn't. He is still small though for an NFL ILB and that makes him a later round pick.

I was very down on Fletcher Cox and would have traded him after his rookie year. Shows you what I know.

Lawrence Timmons, 6'1, 234, drafted in the 1st and is a very capable ILB. Do people really expect every LB prospect to weigh over 250? Because they don't. A lot of college pass rushers barely hit the 250 mark.

Another guy to keep an eye on, if we're looking at linebackers:

Davis Tull Draft Profile NFL.com

He sounds like he's got good makeup to be an inside guy in our scheme and he's on the Eagle's radar - I think they worked him out recently.
