Eagles 2016 Draft

[PhillyPhreak54]

I don't want any of the trio of Goff, Wentz or Lynch.

Maybe as a late 1st or 2nd but I'm not sold on any of them. And since they don't pick late first and don't have a second they better not take one at 8.

[Sgt PSN]

I wouldn't put it passed them to try and move up to get one of those guys if they really like him, but it doesn't make much sense to do that. They've already got $30+mil in guaranteed money owed to Bradford/Daniel. Maybe they're able to package Bradford in there and move up, but if they can't get rid of one of those 2 qbs, then it'd be kind of silly to move up to take a qb. 

[SD]

I'm not saying I'm for trading up, but Bradford is really just a one year deal. If they drafted a QB, he could sit this season, be mentored by Daniel, then take over as the starter. My biggest problem with any of those guys is I don't think they're any more talented than Bradford. And Bradford is still relatively young.

I defer on speaking on qb's just because I have no ability to judge who is going to be good and who isn't....and because I think most scouts and gm's are the same way id prefer to not trade up for one and especially one in a class as weak as this

if they feel strongly enough about one of them to take one at 8 I wont be mad and I will hope for the best but the odds of any one of those guys is ever as good as sam bradford is right now is probably 50/50 at best...I just don't want them taking a qb because of the position and the desire to have a young one to groom on the roster versus how highly they rate a particular guy...and the way they have talked non stop about taking a qb in this draft I fear that might happen

[Rome]

Hargreaves would be the best CB on the team by a mile.  I would have no problem with him. 

Other than his Gator affiliation, that is.

i would really like them to just go back to the andy reid days and be boring and safe and take one of the OTs.

I would have been ok with that at 13...but after the move to 8 it would in a way be a letdown if they took a tackle there who more is less is the same quality of tackle they could have gotten at 13....or perhaps even the exact same player

[phattymatty]

who do you want then?

[ice grillin you]

not sure....no one thrills me in this draft other than tunsill ramsey and jack and none of them have a chance to be there at 8

anyway regardless of what I said above id be fine with Stanley...my only point is after trading up to get the 8 slot it would be kinda blahzay to take Stanley when you could get another tackle at 13 like Conklin who Stanley isn't that much better than...or shtein who knows stanley could drop to 13 altho unlikely...its nothing against Stanley it just wouldn't excite me

honestly taking a qb would probably be the most exciting thing that could happen...next closest thing would be hargreaves or buckner....I guess im rooting for Hargreaves with the right to change my mind

[SD]

I have a feeling Howie wants to make a splash, which is why I believe the trade up for a qb rumors.

At 8 I'd be happy with Hargreaves or Buckner. I just don't know who else would be there that would be worthy of that selection.

[Don Ho]

Agreed, happy with Hargreaves or Buckner.  Watching a lot of Oregon the past few years has really opened my eyes that this kid can play.  He was a beast.

Agree with Rome that Hargreaves would be the best CB on the birds bar none.  Rowe, Carroll and the rest can kiss off.

[Eagaholic]

I haven't been following the drafts as closely as I used to but I hope Andrew Luck falls to them.

[SD]

Both Schefter and Sal Pal said the Eagles/Wentz stuff is 100% true and that Howie/Pederson are in love with the guy. Schefter said he thinks it would take #8, next years first, and one of their thirds this year to get it done. I'm not saying I'm for the deal, but some scouts/analysts are comparing him to Luck. The whole 1AA thing scares me.

[ice grillin you]

I've seen more than a few draft guys who say neither lynch or wentz should go before the third round if you go strictly by evaluation and not position or need

who the farg compared him to luck?...or did someone compare his size and mobility to luck versus rating him as high as luck....cause that's a huge difference

who the farg compared him to luck?

Biggest name was Mayock, but I've seen others.
