College Players The Eagles Are Interested In

[Don Ho]

They are the exact same height.  Chad Jackson is heavier than both of them, slightly.

He's also 60 lbs heavier than Pinkston... or so.

My 2-year-old is 60 pounds heavier than Pinkston... and he only weighs 35.

And he probably could jam him at the line as well totally intimidating the crap out of him.

McMullen is built like TO, too. That get you worked up?

looks are everything

I think the Eagles will trade back into the first round.

Take a DT and either a WR or an OL.

He tackles better than Simoneau, too.

Even though they recently resigned veteran Jon Runyan, the Philadelphia Eagles still have a clear interest in USC offensive tackle Winston Justice. Individually working him out two weeks ago, the team is bringing Justice to the Nova Center for a visit in the next ten days. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers also have shown a lot of interest in the big Trojan blocker.

Another player the Eagles have closely monitored is Florida receiver Chad Jackson. Andy Reid individually worked out the big pass catcher and interviewed him afterwards, coming away very impressed. So did Nick Saban of the Miami Dolphins as the team has twice sat down with Jackson.

If they draft Justice does he play guard until he takes over for Tra or Runyan?

[MDS]

No. He sits and waits 'cause no one messes with Artis Hicks' playing time.

[General_Failure]

Someone will be injured. He'd play one way or another, unless he's the one that gets hurt.

[Displaced]

This is an interesting question.  I would imagine that if he is good enough to warrant being taken where the Eagles will be drafting, he would pretty much have to be on the field right away.

Where did he play in college?  I would imagine he would have to be plugged in at the left guard position but would that hinder his growth if he played right tackle in college?

[Displaced]

Looked him up.  He played RT at USC.  He also had some character issues that may put the Eagles off.

I don't know, if the Eagles draft him he would have to be Runyans understudy (and I thought they were grooming Andrews for that role)  for the first year and that just doesn't seem to be the first round draft choice of a team that intends to return to prominance after a down year.

[Drunkmasterflex]

I can't see it as a hinderance as Phreak mentioned before there are some very good NFL Tackles that played guard before moving to the outside.

-From Scout.com:

The Eagles have looked at a couple of Oklahoma Sooners.

Guard Davin Joseph has a 6'2.5", 311 pound frame and picked up all-conference and all-academic honors in each of the last three seasons. He's got a strong upper body and holds up well in various blocking schemes and it should certainly interest the Eagles to add a player like that to the roster.

His teammate, Chris Chester projects as a starting center in the NFL and has also drawn interest from the Eagles. Chester is 6'3.5", 303 pounds and played at tight end earlier in his college career. He played seven games on the offensive line last season at Oklahoma and has above average blocking skills.

Eagles offensive line coach Juan Castillo personally worked out Pitt offensive lineman Charles Spencer last week and came away impressed. Spencer is 6'5", 345 pounds and converted from the defensive line in his junior season. He played both guard and tackle at Pitt and has some work to do, but also has the skills to get better. The Eagles have had a definite eye on Spencer for some time.

Finally, Hofstra guard Willie Colon (6'3", 320) figures to meet face-to-face with the Eagles before the draft. He's already met with San Diego, Pittsburgh and Jacksonville. Colon was a three-year starter and received all-conference and all-american honors after his senior season. Colon will need some patience and work, but could become a starting guard at the pro level before too long if he's drafted into the right situation. He figures to be a very late round pick

[*TOLEDO senior quarterback BRUCE GRADKOWSKI has reported to the NLS Staff that he may have a private visit setup with Philadelphia over the next few weeks.

If there was one sure fire lock in this draft, it's that Gradkowski becomes an Eagle. I would wager they may even "reach" for the dude. I like it.

[Drunkmasterflex]

I would absolutely love to see them pick up Davin Joseph in the second round I think he has potential to be a stud.
