Kiper mocks our first 4 picks

Philadelphia Eagles
Top needs: C/G, CB, LB, FS, DT, DE, P
First round (24): CB Kareem Jackson
Second-round (37*, 55): S Major Wright, G Jon Asamoah
Third-round (70, 87): LB Navorro Bowman, DT Lamarr Houston
Fourth-round (105, 121): S T.J. Ward, DE Greg Hardy
Summary: These aren't sexy picks, but the Eagles have done the work at the skill positions in recent drafts and now need to focus on specific weaknesses. Jackson has become, to me, the second-best corner in the draft, and isn't far behind Joe Haden. Asamoah is extremely steady and durable and adds strength to the interior of the offensive line. With a young QB in the huddle, coach Andy Reid should keep his team well-equipped to run the ball when they want to. Bowman has first-round talent, but size questions drop him. He'll have to show he can play week-to-week in the NFL. Hardy is a similar story, a player with a ton of talent who has dealt with nagging injuries at Ole Miss. Houston fits the scheme along the defensive interior, and Ward is, in some estimations, among the top five or six safeties in the draft.
I like going secondary with the first two picks assuming players we like are available, but I hope we do better than what he has. I would love to find a way assuming we don't trade up to get any combination of Kyle Wilson/Kareem Jackson, Washington, and Nate Allen or Morgan Burnett with the first 3 picks. I still think that leaves us with plenty of picks to address the OL. Just wanted to get this up for those that don't have insider, I recall seeing a lot of Kiper is an idiot posts and once again I think he doesn't get us enough talent in the first 4 picks.

I don't just hate 1 or 2 of those picks...
I despise each and every one of them, with the exception of maybe Lamarr Houston. If this is how the Eagles’ draft pans out, I’ll be extremely pissed.

I wouldn't worry
Kiper’s a draft guru in his own mind, I never listen to what he has to say. We have the picks to move up if we want…anything can happen.
Tony Romo...why so serious?
Lol, me too
That would be an awful draft. Someone would need to be punched in the face.

Major Wright,
I think he might work out. The rest suck out loud. Thank god kiper NEVER gets any of our picks right.
michael oher
He was wrong on that one. We could have at least had another philadelphia eagle movie though

How can you hate...
Navarro Bowman in the 3rd and quality players all around?
What do you guys really expect
24th pick – Eric Berry
35th pick – Dez Bryant
55th Pick – Superman
70th pick – Joe Haden
Etc.????
Seriously, you do the best with what is available, and it looks like these guys are all quality players, we are even picking up starters in the 3rd round
I assume that reply is to me?
Every single one of those picks are reaches. They may very well be quality players, but much better players will be on the board at each of those selections. And just FYI, we have the 37th pick, not the 35th.
Oooh… Superman at the 55th pick? Great value pick. Love it. What position does he play though?
Let the beasting begin.

I think he’d get away with it for a year, but then in the next offseason they’d make a rule against it.
Oh wait - Scratch that. I just looked it up...
Section XIV, rule #27-e-43 – No heat rays.
Man, the NFL thinks of everything.
Problem would be....
uniform infractions. The red cape would prolly be noticed.

No one ever noticed Dawks cape
And he played with it since the day he was drafted

Why cant we go back and time and clone our wolverine so that we can draft him again this year as a 21 year old.
"Bleed green for life my nocos"
haha i was actually just thinkin of a fanshot
asking everyone that if dawkins could reenter the draft at age 36 what round would you draft him? I’d say 4th.

would it be illegal to tackle superman by dragging him down by his cape?

jackson – quality player or not you have to admit he is probably 5th on a list of 5 secondary players we are looing at for the first round
wright – probably a round and a half earlier than ive seen anywhere else… a player i am not very interested in
asamoah – is it a good pick/value… yes. Does it add any sizzle to an already boring draft… no
bowman – my favorite pick so far but 1) that doesnt say much 2) it might be just me but i am still an akeem jordan fan
houston – again, cant argue with the value but dont see him making much of an impact as a 3rd string DT… very similar in size to everyone we currently have, if we go DT I would rather see us bring in someone bigger (cody)
ward – blah
hardy – remember him actually being mocked in the first round last year and def made a huuuge mistake coming back to school… I honestly havent spent any time looking into him but you dont drop that hard without some major problems/holes
VOID!!!
I have to disagree
I think everyone of those players could be possibly be taken a pick back for us. Jackson could possibly be there at 37, major right will prob fall to third. We’d be silly to draft on need this year, we should just go with best talent available.

Bowman
I’d love to get him there.

This draft would be a supreme letdown to me if it occurred
but I like Lamaar Houston and possibly Greg Hardy.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
I am really hoping we dont go after Kareem Jackson, i saw this kid play and in my opinion he is NOT worth a first round pick.

Its not so much the players
It is more the value of the picks. Kareem Jackson in 2nd round is realistic and more valuable pick. Major Wright in 2nd round isnt gonna happen. Its a reach. When we mocked 7 round in our GM, I got Wright with our second pick in 3rd round. Bowman and Hardy in 3rd and 4th round have good value there. Jon Asamoah is a late 3rd early 4th round prospect in my book, so taking him so early doesnt make sense for me.
This sucks.
Why settle for Kareem Jackson in the first? Why not Kyle Wilson or Earl Thomas? We can trade up if we have to.
Why MAJOR WRIGHT with the first second round pick? Can you say “reach”? That’s ridiculous. If you’re grabbing a second round safety, there’s no reason Nate Allen or Morgan Burnett won’t be there.
I say, if you can’t grab Earl Thomas, Eric Berry, Kyle Wilson, or Joe Haden in the first round, grab a talented DE like Jerry Hughes, or a OG like Mike Iupati. One of these is guaranteed to still be there. But it would be stupid as hell to reach for Kareem Jackson in the first when you could probably just as easily grab him in the second round.
Ugh.
i would love to see his whole mock draft...
i’ll never spend a dime on insider though. it’s mosty pointless rumor and inaccuracies.
As opposed to BGN?
I love it here, but I’m sayin …
Still waiting for the Eagles to Bring It Home For Jerome
Dude it's free...
haha, true but there is some good insight every now and then when you sift through the rubbish.

The thing is
we’re extremely likely to be trading around, so does any of this actually mean anything?
"He wasn't an astronaut, he was a tv comedian! And he was just using space travel as a metaphor for beating his wife!"
This is the kind of draft ...
… that would get roundly panned by casual fans and some die-hards off lack of name recognition alone.
Doesn’t mean it wouldn’t end up being a good draft, but it definitely would not inspire a lot of confidence that tipping the whole McNabb boat over was worth it.

likeing the picks
We could use some help back there in the secondary so our first couple of picks in this are are good, i still think that we maybe need to go after Mays, his coverage is questionable, but we have the def coach to make that alot better. Haden would be the best choice if we could get him.
