The Eagles 2nd round pick is in

If we got 2 out of 3 of these guys I would be happy with our day 1 picks. All three would be amazing, but unlikely.

Maybe not necessarily 3 skill position players – they’ll definitely take an O-lineman somewhere in there, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least to see them take 3 offensive players with the top 3 picks. Personally, I think they go with the best offensive player available on the board with their first few picks.

This is the youngest, deepest Eagles defense I’ve seen in a loooooong time…

I mean, that is some insane depth there. Meanwhile, we have virtually NO depth on offensive, so look for them to re-load there.

I picked 2 because even though I think we might go with 3 if one of the top gaurds are at our pick in the second round I could see us picking him

Maclin, Brown and Coffman would be very exciting. But let’s also remember that last year the Redskins got Thomas, Kelly and Davis and those guys didn’t do squat. They might all still be good players, but the immediate impact was zero. Let’s hope we can draft better if we do look at skill position players.
