College Players The Eagles Are Interested In

[Drunkmasterflex]

As long as they don't reach for a player I don't really care, I think there are going to be some very good football players at their spot.  Who knows someone could fall to them if all three QBs go in the top 10 it could push some players their way.  There is always a suprise player that is taken higher than most think he should so that could help them as well.  I could see a team like St. Louis or Detroit do something like that.

Yeah, the reaching thing is what concerns me too.

I just don't want them to pick a guy @ 14 who's projected to go between 25-30 when they could simply trade down and get him if that's who they really want.

Also - I don't know if this has been mentioned here but on the PE.Com poll, the respondents picked Chad Jackson as the Eagles pick at 14.  He would qualify as someone I'd be pissed off about if the Eagles picked him.

General question here...


If the Eagles stay at #14, is there a player you would absolutely hate if they picked him?

Chad Greenway
Santonio Holmes
Chad Jackson

Chad Jackson is someone who would excite me if they drafted him, he reminds a little of Reggie Brown but with even more upside.

Justice, Greenway, Sims.

I was just looking at the War Rooms top 25 players in the draft and of those top 25 only Nick Mangold would piss me off at #14.  He was their 25th ranked player by the way, it wouldn't piss me off if they traded down and drafted him.

[Rome]

It would piss me off less if they traded down and drafted Chad Jackson.  If they got him between 20-25 plus got a third rounder, I'd be fine with that.

If ANYONE takes Nick Mangold higher than 30-32 then they should be extremely pissed. And if the Birds drafted him at #14 it would be utterly ridiculous.

That seems extremely unlikely since the conventional "belief" is that the Broncos are salivating over Jackson at #15.  Jackson would not be a reach at 14 but I can understand why people wouldn't want the Eagles to pick him there.  I personally would only rather have Justice of all the players that might be available at #14.

Well, now we know who the Eagles will take with their 14th pick.

I think that if Cincy took him with their pick it wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Santonio Holmes, LenDale White, Chad Greenway, and anyone they could have traded down 10 spots and still easily got.  Otherwise, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.  I guess.

Please no reaching this year.  Some of the CB's would tick me off as would a TE other than VD. 

Speaking of TE's the kid out of Western Michigan, Tony Scheffler looks pretty good.  6-5 251.  Apparently he has awesome hands and good speed.  Actually returned kicks one year.

Well, they have a C that they drafted last year in the 4th round that they like a lot. Eric Ghiaciuc out of Central Michigan is that guy. They re-signed Rich Braham to a one year deal last year to play while Ghiaciuc learned the NFL game.

Mangold is a nice player. But he is best suited to be on an OL like the Falcons or the Broncos where they run that zone blocking scheme and like the smaller OL's. And I think that if he is drafted anywhere higher than the 30's it would be a mistake. Just my $.02 though.

According to Gary Papa last night, the Eagles are interested in "nuh-GOT-uh".  He pronounced it that way 3 times...
