College Players The Eagles Are Interested In

I would have to agree that Ernie Sims is going to make big plays for whatever team drafts him. Even though it would signal the preemptive end of the Matt McCoy era, playmakers are playmakers.

That said, I wonder if the Eagles are actually thinking that McCoy could bulk up enough to have a future at MLB?

you heard Brown in his interview, hard to believe and LB or corner for that matter could come in here and make a huge impact right away based on JJ's system. Future maybe, but not good enough to be a 1st year true impact player

Sims really annoyed me in the Orange Bowl and the game against THE U. He intentionally acted hurt to get more time on the clock but like a Matthew Barnaby or Domi i would love him on my team.

at 14 other than perhaps one of the wr's what player will come in and make an impact this year?

Amazing to have that kind of presence of mind, along with his athletic ability.

a DL or OL in the top tier group....thats about it. I dont care how they do it, work the phones--move up, down, horizontal-but find a way. Jackson is not our answer at receiver--he's all guesswork based on which system works for him

As far as them bringing in Sims if they feel he could make an early impact I am all for it. I agree with FF though that kind of spells the end of the Matt McCoy era. As far as rookies they could bring in that make an impact right away they could draft a RB in the first (chances are almost zero), DL, WR, or OL. WR would be the least productive but they could have a guy who could make some plays. As I said before I think the guy is Jackson, this would be the best chance they've had to bring in a rookie WR and not have pressure on him.

I'm not so sure that McCoy couldn't end up playing another spot in the starting LB group, though. Sims may be best suited to play at <230 lbs, but McCoy could probably go up to 240 or so.

Plus, considering how often Jim Johnson mirrors his own defense (ie: the WIL actually does have to cover the TE sometimes also), it could be that we're just making too much of the whole difference between WIL and SAM.

Didn't McCoy say he wanted to play at a lower weight?

good riddance

i dont see a lineman at 14 that would come in and drastically improve the team...bunkley (if hes even there which is unlikely) or someone like that could be a solid addition like patterson was last year but they arent gonna be the difference wins and losses...on offense what lineman at 14 would even start for the team much less be a difference maker

i agree with you on rb but thats not gonna happen so i didnt even address it

PoopyfaceMcGee · April 07, 2006, 01:47:08 PM

Yes, he did. He leaned out to 225. He apparently is stronger and quicker than he was last year at 235 or so, according to him. It could also be that we make too much of a guy's weight. There are plenty of defensive players in the NFL that go less than 230 and could stop any back or any TE in their tracks with a quality hit.

Cool site. They have all of the players listed along with round projections and stuff like that.

reese125 · April 08, 2006, 04:12:08 PM

good stuff

Don Ho · April 08, 2006, 04:13:56 PM

Phreak,

Thanks. I was getting sick of NFL Draft Countdown. Can't wait for the Sporting News issue that breaks the week of the draft. It contains the best updated information.

They have Martin Nance a 4th-5th rounder. Finally a site that doesnt only see that he's 6'5". If anyones ever seen him play they know he isnt a day 1 pick.
