College Players The Eagles Are Interested In

[PhillyPhreak54]

So Ngata fits into that big-and-can-move mold. He's no Grady Jackson.

Does he shoot gaps well? I only watched him play once but he was impressive. The number 1 reason I like him is because he can collapse a pocket. Corey was a fat slob but he had that powerful lower body and low center of gravity that enabled him to drive Guards back and open things up for the other DTs.

Yeah, he can shoot gaps. He had 9 TFL's and 3 sacks last year at ORE. He can shoot or he can play a two gap and occupy blockers. That's why some of the 3-4 teams are looking at him too b.c he could control the nose.

So if you had a choice, and this question is for everybody, who would you take:

A. Bunkley
B. Ngata

Ngata...based off of speed and bulk alone

[PhillyPhreak54]

So if you had a choice, and this question is for everybody, who would you take:

A. Bunkley
B. Ngata

Ngata first and then Bunkley. Even though I love BB, Ngata is the #1 DT in this draft. And you cannot turn down that size/speed combo. A future of him and Mikey Pat at DT is shorts tightening awesome.

I saw Bunkley play a lot at FSU and in all honesty, I don't know why everyone is so gung ho to get him.  Yes, he was a good player but I don't know about spending a #14 pick on him. 

Ngata? He'd definitely be worth going up for, so my answer, obviously, is Ngata.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So, the Eagles are almost certainly NOT trading up, and if they do, it's NOT for Ngata or Huff.

Got it.

have some faith buddy.....

You assume I WANT the Eagles to move up, which is extremely far from anything resembling truth.

[Drunkmasterflex]

Ngata without  a doubt I think he has much more potential to be a run-stuffing force.

[ice grillin you]

bunkly isnt anything special...no better than patterson...ngata is much better and is the ideal pick here if they can snag him...they need a run stuffer so bad it hurts

[Rome]

Bunkley is listed by FSU @ 6'4" and 284.  Ngata is what, 340 or so?

In all honesty, I can't understand why Bunkley is rated as high as he is and this is an FSU fan saying this.  Yeah, he was a nice player in college and he had a very good senior year, but still, picking him at 14 seems like a whopper of a stretch to me.

Meh - I don't know... 

[Seabiscuit36]

Ngata without a doubt but then again Eckel is the source.  I hear Kevin Johnson just re-entered the draft, and andy might move up to get him finally. 

[VET STADIUM TURF]

NGATA

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yes, and I'd rather have Ngata if given the choice, I think.  Close call, though, because Bunkley will get more sacks.

[SD_Eagle5]

Thanks all for the feedback, I haven't followed the college draft as closely as I have in previous seasons, but I'm aboard the Ngata bandwagon.

So I'll throw this question out next: A team wants our 2nd to move up a few spots to draft Ngata:

A. Is he worth it?
B. You're the GM, do you make that trade?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I might make that deal if that team could give us back a 4th rounder (no, I'm not kidding) or so also.  Their 1st and 4th for our 1st and 2nd.  There will be a lot of guys spilling into the 4th this year with talent.

It also depends how far we're talking about here.  If we're only talking about moving up to 11 or so, then no way.  If we're talking about 8 or 9, then the 2nd probably has to be part of the deal.

I'd still prefer to stay put or trade back, though... probably.

[Drunkmasterflex]

I really don't want to see them give up a 2nd rounder in this years draft I think it will be a very valuable pick.  If they could give up a 3rd to move up to somewhere say 10 or 11 then they should do it.
