With the 32nd Pick in Rd 1 ...

[Rey]

Eagles interest in Derrius Guice similar to Derek Barnett

 

[old duke]

If he's available, I have a hunch they'll pick him. I just think the biggest need is at LBer and S. Maybe Howie can trade back a couple of picks, and still get him + a good safety or LB in the 3rd?

Eagles interest in Derrius Guice similar to Derek Barnett

Who are the other 4 or so names that the eagles are doing this same thing to this year?? Ie, the Christian McCaffrey, Cook, etc of this year?? Who else besides Guice??

 

[old duke]

LEIGHTON VANDER ESCH
JUSTIN REID
RONNIE HARRISON
JAIRE ALEXANDER
DONTE JACKSON
RASHAAN EVANS
CONNOR WILLIAMS

These are names to watch for, besides Guice.

I think it would be a mistake to look at RB at 32. Not that I don't think Guice and Sony Michel are really good Backs, but the RB position is just stacked this year. I see 2 Backs whom I really like and can be had if we move back into Rd 2. A kid I've mentioned before by the name off Kalen Ballage is being mocked as mid 2nd to mid 3rd has really impressed me on tape. Great hands out of the backfield, good size and speed combo. Reminds me a bit of David Johnson coming out. Check out his tape below. Then you have Rashaad Penny ... again, another Back who's a dual threat out of the backfield with size and speed (vid below as well). You also have a bigger, more physical Back in Royce Freeman (who can probably be had in Rd 4) if you are looking to replace the role left behind by Legarrette Blount ...

They have really telegraphed their interest in this guy, with Duce reportedly loving him. I think he doesn't make it to 32 to be honest, but maybe they use Kendricks to move up a few spots if they love him this much.

I think he would actually be a good pick. Keep in mind that Ajayi is not signed after this year.

Could be a smoke screen

 

[old duke]

Many smoke screens for the next 12 days. To me, I think Reid is the best pick, if we stay at 32. After that, there are a plethora of very good players we could get in rounds 2 & 3, and even in the 4th.

 

[Roy Munson]

I actually wouldn't mind this pick. I really never thought about it.
NFL scout thinks Eagles might take Orlando Brown in the first round

His tits slapping his chin at the combine didn't help his draft stock.

 

[Screamin Eagle]

Of that group if Vander Esch is available I think it's a no brainier.

 

[I miss Dawkins]

No love for Hayden Hurst at 1.32??

No love for Hayden Hurst at 1.32??

Too old. no thanks. If we stay at 32, I think it will be one of these, whichever is available:

Alexander
Reid
LVE
Evans
Harrison

 

[Iggloo]

I like Hayden Hurst a lot. I think he is a possibility but rumor is the Pats love him and they need a replacement for Gronk, so I doubt he makes it to our pick.

 

[Orlando Eagles]

I am a fan of Guice if he is there at 32.

 

[Rey]

WR DJ Moore is a guy I'm hearing could get some love if still there at 32. Electric after the catch and played with really bad QB play. 5'11" but explosive and strong (215 lbs).

 

[old duke]

I just can't justify drafting a WR in the 1st round, when we need a LB; S; slot CB; OT; RB.

I'm also replacing Reid with Bates as my top S available at 32.

A fast WR is THE top priority.
Last year, Torrey Smith stank. If Hollins or Gibson would have been better than Smith, they would have started - but they didn't.
The Eagles will not draft a 4-3 LB, S, RB, G, C, in the 1st round.
For now, they have Peters, Johnson, and Big V as the tackles. They don't need any more.
With Sidney Jones and Rasul Douglas being high draft picks last year, they are SUPPOSED to be the starters. They don't need any more. They have enough - Darby, etc.
There is no way that they are going to pay a backup tight end more than they pay Ertz. Forget about TE in the 1st.
For now, they don't need a DE or a DT desperately enough to one in the 1st.

You know they signed Mike Wallace? And why would a first round tight end get paid more than Ertz? 32nd pick last year signed $9m/4yr deal. Ertz is $5m this yr and $12m next year. Not that I think they take a TE but it would be a good year to get one in case they want to get out of Ertz contract at some point.

Is Mike Wallace a stud? I don't think so.
Because 1st round picks will always get paid more than non-1st round picks eventually. Plus, they're NOT going to draft a TE in the 1st to be a backup for several years.

 

[old duke]

If they pick a TE in the 1st, he wouldn't be a backup, but would take Celek's place, when they go to 2 TE's.
