2015 Draft Thread.

[Tampabirdsfan]

Mayock was talking about him about 30 minutes ago, said the medicals are bad, really tore the knee up bad

Sign him as a UFA and put him on IR?

 

[DaEagles]

Chip is betting on if you throw enough shit against the wall at ILB, Safety and Corner you can come out with some players. Nothing wrong with that.

Been doing yard work all day so just got in.

This is what Im thinking to. If we get enough guys, hopefully we can get a steal, if not, dump em. We should have enough competition to find a few guys and a little depth.

I like it.

 

[DaEagles]

Outside of the 3rd round LB I like the draft.

Wasn't happy about getting Alghalor? in the 1st but with getting Rowe in the 2nd I'm good with it. Like the depth building at the DB spot. Like the trade of the 4th for an extra 3rd next year. Think Chip shit the bed though with Hicks though. Wasn't even close to a need and is one of our strengths. Woulda been like takin a RB in the 3rd.

 

[Iron Eagle]

I would've preferred an o lineman in round 4, but Chip didn't like what was left on the board.

I suspect we'll see a few as Udfa's there.

 

[old duke]

They keep thinking they can get linemen later, and they don't because other teams take them. Trading that 4th, I think they did it because they targeted linemen who all got taken. They should have taken Glowinski because he was a great scheme fit. Instead Seattle got him later in the round.

Evidently they didn't give Glowinski a high grade at that point.

 

[old duke]

Jacorey Shepherd. A smallish, ballhawking corner who ran a 4.7 40.

He was coming off an injury when he ran that. He is a 4.4 guy. He's a good pick.

 

[old duke]

Evans is a garbage pick. There's no way he makes the 53.

Say what? Get real.

 

[Iggloo]

We're going to lock down Topeka State next time...oh wait, this is the NFL

 

[Iggloo]

Reporters are freaking out because Chip was asked if Mathis would be back, and he said, "Ask Evan." He then proceeded to say no one has tried to trade for Mathis in two years. So people feel like he is trolling the guy at this point for demanding a trade and not showing up.

So at the end of the day and draft, Chipper did not draft a single Duck. How many Ducks fans jumped off the Eagle bandwagon today?

Chip drafts a size DE prospect out of BC: Brian Mihalik

The defensive version of Ifeanyi Momah: a practice squad project.

 

[Taz]

Big guy sounds like a DT project.

 

[GenJac]

Wonder why Gerod Holliman has yet to be drafted, would be a good fit with da birds, especially in these late rounds. Maybe a bad scouting report or something.

 

[Rey]

Holliman is a horrible tackler ... if he were even an average tackler he would have been off the board a while ago. He only knows how to lower his shoulder to get somebody down.

 

[Deano]

Can't believe nobody took Kurtis Drummond S from Michigan State

 

[Iggloo]

Drummond is the Kurt Coleman of this draft. I liked him initially but his workouts were mediocre, and people began watching his film closely and realizing he was basically a very mediocre player surrounded by good talent in the secondary.

 

[old duke]

Steelers picked Holliman. Bad pick for them.

 

[PhillyGreen]

It's the 6th round. ....everything is a longshot.

Late round picks are really like trying to get lucky and many teams do. In the past even the Eagles got luck with studs after the the 6th round (Clyde Simmons, Seth Joyner, Harold Carmichael and Wilbert Montgomery).

Richard Sherman was a 5th Rounder and Tom Brady was a 6th rounder.

This late in the draft you pick players and hope you get lucky.

 

[Willie from Philly]

Kelce a 6th too
