Nice cans, baby.

Welcome to Philadelphia. Go get a job at Delilahs now.

One of my buddies down here went to Cal Poly - San Luis Opispo, and I was joking with him earlier this week about someone from his school actually getting drafted on day 1. Then the Eagles traded UP for him. Ha!

Hey, they only gave up a 7th rounder to move up a few spots in the 3rd, so if this kid has any chance of taking snaps and/or a roster spot away from Dhani Jones or Juqua Thomas... AMEN.

worst pick ever....thank god the first two made up for it

PhillyPhreak54 · April 30, 2006, 02:24:29 AM

Why and how is that the worst pick ever?

Think about it... if IGY hates white linebackers, how do you think he feels about pasty Asian ones?

Seriously though, he falls under the "football player" category. The type of guy that the Pats have been successful drafting. They might not have the best measurables but when the film goes on, they are around the ball making plays.

Of course nothing is locked down about how he'll do, but I really like the pick.

And even if he shteins the bed, the fact that they pulled a coup and got Bunkley and Justice back to back is great.

Yep. I don't mind them taking a flyer after doing so well with those first two picks, especially if they felt Gocong had the best rating of any possible SAM LB left on the board. He will be very good on special teams at the very least, and should contribute nicely on defense also. They are probably ideally hoping he'll be a 1st/2nd down SLB and will either come off the field or rush the passer on 3rd/nickel downs.

LBIggle · April 30, 2006, 02:51:45 AM

i agree. getting bunkley and justice allows them to take a chance with their 3rd pick.

Actually, I read up on him quite a bit. goeagles99 mentioned him awhile ago and I started looking into him as a SAM LB. HIm and Clint Ingram.

GE99 is where I heard of him initially. I still think he's a great pick.

Check out his video highlights on PE.com. I don't give a shtein if he's playing against Sacred Hearts High Intermediate squad the kid is a one man wrecking crew. Check out some of those chase downs on the opposing QB's. I'm sold.

SI ranks Gocong as one of their hidden gems

QuoteChris Gocong, DE-OLB, Cal Poly: Another explosive defender who plays with a nonstop motor, Gocong is an undersized end who will move to outside linebacker in the NFL. His skills and speed make him perfectly suited to line up over tackle in a 3-4 alignment. He should also excel on special teams.

Someone asked Reid, "What if Gocong can't cover as well as you think he'll be able to at LB?"
Reid: "Then, we'll just *bring him* more."

OK, then. Reid is obviously sold that the kid can play SAM, though. Loves his smarts and athleticism.
