College Players The Eagles Are Interested In

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

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.

With one of those 4th rounders, yes.

An interesting note I came across when reading about Jeremy Bloom. Other then him bulking up to 184 from 173 at the combine, he bench pressed 225 16 times.

The same amount of reps as Chad Greenway.

I didn't want Greenway before. And that didn't help me to like him knowing a punk WR is out-pressing his ass.

LENDALE HEADING DOWNHILL

The biggest story coming out of the USC pro day workout is that running back LenDale White basically did nothing.

White only performed the bench press, and nothing more.  (He managed 15 reps at 225, four less than Jeremy Bloom, whom White outweighs by 60 pounds.)  No 40-yard dash.  No long jump.  No broad jump.  No three-cone.  No short shuttle.  No position drills.  Nothing.

Why, we wonder, did the guy even show up?  More than a few scouts have the same question.

We're told that White promised scouts he would run in three weeks, but that White privately said that he has no intention of doing it.  It's a bad sign for a guy who has hopes of standing out in a draft pool that has plenty of first-round talent at running back.

Good job, Lendale. Especially since there have already been people questioning his will to work and his character.

This guy better get his shtein together.  He's dropping faster than my pants at the sight of those Jessica Alba shots.  They showed him doing the bench press on ESPN and he was definitely struggling.   He looks terrible.

Perhaps LenDale isn't laying off the .

I miss those.

The idea of drafting LenDale with #14 overall is getting less and less likely.

Get Bunkley.
Or Justice.
Or Chad Jackson.
Or Wimbley.
Or Manny Lawson.

After reading ESPN.com this morning it sounds like Justice could be a top 10 pick.  Of the players that you have mentioned it seems to me that only Lawson and Jackson will likely be available and maybe Wimbley.  I think he goes to Cleveland though with Bunkley going to either Buffalo or St. Louis.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I know all those guys may or may not be on the board at #14.  That said, I think that if you add Jimmy Williams, Michael Huff, and Haloti Ngata to the 5 guys I just mentioned, the Eagles 1st round pick is almost CERTAINLY in that list.

If Justice moves into the top ten, other guys have to fall.  I see both Ngata and Jimmy Williams as guys that could fall to #14, despite seemingly no chance of it just a few weeks ago.

My personal draft board for those 8 players?

1. Huff
2. Ngata
3. Bunkley
4. Williams
5. Lawson
6. Justice
7. Jackson
8. Wimbley

I wouldn't mind seeing any of these fine young players as Eagles, though.  Huff or Williams would add some top-end young talent to a secondary that needs top-end talent to run its scheme.  Ngata or Bunkley would fill a need and strengthen the DT rotation immediately.  Lawson or Wimbley both embody what the Eagles love in their DE's and would allow the team to really rotate and move guys around to confuse the offense.  Justice could team up with Herremans to be the OT tandem of the future, and Jackson has uncommon speed and build for a WR.

[Drunkmasterflex]

Of the players you mention the only two I don't want to see them take is Lawson and Wimbley, with the addition of Howard I don't see DE as much of a need.  That being said I would not be too disappointed to see either of them in midnight green.

[ice grillin you]

unless someone unexpectedly drops to them at 14 i definitely trade back if possible...preferably to take moss

No interest in Jackson?

[ice grillin you]

i like moss better...jackson is bigger but moss has some of the best quickness ive ever seen and i think that will cancel out the fact that hes real small...he comes in and out of cuts amaingly...

jackson seems to be more a straight line speed guy whereas moss is all around playmaker who can take it to the house everytime he touches it whether its down the field or a 5 yard hitch...jackson is going to be more a go route type guy...moss can also be a pro bowl retun man for you

other than some of the guys that are gonna go in the top 10 moss is my #1 guy on the board

The reason I think they're both more likely than we think is that Howard is probably only going to be top quality for 2-3 more years max, and he *could* be a total bust job.  Also, Kearse's contract will start to get very expensive very soon, and if his production doesn't improve, they could be looking to go elsewhere.  Also, the team values the DE position highly and likes to rotate "fastballs" there.

I've also said I'd like to see them trade down, but I think it's unlikely unless they trade away some of their later picks closer to the draft.

[Drunkmasterflex]

The thing about Lawson is you have to wonder if he was just a product of playing opposite of Williams, you could say the same about Wimbley with all the talent that was on FSUs D but they have proven track record there.
