Every year the draft comes and none of us have any clue who the Eagles are selecting. Pretty sure none of us speculated them taking Maclin/Graham/Watkins in the first round over the past 3 seasons. Every year I say to myself "I'll bet they take this guy" then they surprise us all by taking someone totally different. This year the hot name seems to be Fletcher Cox. While I do believe the Eagles have some interest in him, I don't know that he falls to 15. Maybe they ship a 3rd off and move up to grab him.
So go on record with who your pick is going to be and let's see if any of us nails it.
I'm thinking, like chuggie, that they like Cox. He fits their scheme well and seems like a logical selection. I just don't see him being there when they pick and I doubt they ship a 2nd to move up to get him...a 3rd would be reasonable but the question is does that move you up far enough to grab him. For some reason I see Coples falling out of the top 10...maybe it's character issues or whatever, but I see him being in the Eagles range and him being their pick. We all know the Eagles usually select smaller 'fastball' type players at DE, but they were interested in Peppers a few seasons ago, and Coples is comparable. With Graham being an unknown and the Eagles holding such high regard for the DE position I think Coples is their guy...especially considering they haven't really been linked to him.
