The Eagles final pick of the day was 6-1 223lb OLB Moises Fokou from Maryland.
Strengths:
Good athleticism...Above average speed and quickness...Active with a non-stop motor...Has excellent range...A reliable tackler...Shows fluid hips...Decent pass rusher...Strong work ethic...Terrific special teamer.
Weaknesses:
Is undersized and does not have the bulk you look for...Lacks great instincts and awareness...Needs to get stronger...Has trouble getting off blocks...Just average in coverage...Not an ideal fit for every team.
Notes:
First name is pronounced "MOE-ees"...Was born in Cameroon...Began his college career at Frostburg State before transferring to Maryland in 2005...A two-year starter for the Terps...Played with a torn labrum in 2007, which later required off-season surgery...A prototypical weakside linebacker...Profiles as a backup and special teamer...Needs to land with a team willing to sacrifice size for speed and athleticism.

Awesome last name
"Someone created the box score," Morey says, "and he should be shot."
Blocked shots — they look great, but unless you secure the ball afterward, you haven’t helped your team all that much.
