PrintWith the 31st overall pick in the 6th round the Philadelphia Eagles have selected Charles Scott, RB LSU
NFL.com's quick take on the 5-11, 238 pound Scott.
Scott is a big, powerful back that is more of a raw power back that can move piles than an explosive punishing type of ball carrier. He is a no-nonsense ball carrier that does not dance around in the backfield and is not apt to have many negative plays in the course of a game. He missed the last three games of his senior year with a broken collarbone but it should not affect his draft status. Scott can be a punishing blocker but needs a lot of technique work for the next level. He is an adequate receiver out of the backfield but won’t be much of a factor in the downfield passing game.
You want to hear a great stat about Scott? He never fumbled in college.

3rd/4th and 1. Problem solved. With Weaver leading the way, they have no excuse not get those conversions.
Jim Johnson(RIP). Brian Westbrook(36). Donovan Mcnabb(5). Brian Dawkins(20). Sheldon Brown(24). Jeremiah Trotter(54).
Thanks for the memories...
except that the line makes no holes
Let's get it Birds.

It's a good pick, but...
Isn’t this what they got Mike Bell for? I thought they’d take a back-up that could fill in for McCoy, like Shawnbrey McNeal out of SMU.

Didn’t know it was only a one year deal. I’m worried that if Shady goes down, they won’t have a RB that can be a factor as a receiver.

McCoy and Weaver could perform that function easily.

Don't we have
that canadian football league RB or something? he’s supposed to be amazing out of the backfield as a receiver I thought..
Martell Mallet will be cut in camp.
People, stop saying he’s going to make a difference. He won’t. He’s small and slow.

You never know man.
I’ve been saying this since we first got him- he may surprise some people.

I dunno.
I just don’t see what he has to make it.
He has to prove that he’s better than Scott, Bell, and/or Buckley, so he’s facing quite the uphill battle.

True, but I remember a bunch of people sporting hard-ons that you could hang a week's worth of laundry for Lorenzo Booker
And we all saw how that worked out

Also
I love this pick. As has been said, no more excuses on third-and-one.
Maybe we’ll see the Eagles in the Power-I!!! (I think my head would explode.)

I have a feeling this is going to be very imortant for us in the future!
Finally we have a punishing running back that can get the first down.
nice sleeper pick!
i agree , this is def a sexy pick

Looking at His Highlights
He sure does seem to run pretty high. I rarely saw him get low, even around his offensive line in goal line situations. When he did get low, he seemed to lead with his helmet head-first into defenders. That’s pretty dangerous. With these things said, I like his stride and his north-south mentality. He exhibits great break-out speed, which will help tremendously in goal line situations. If the Eagles can teach this kid to run lower with his shoulders, he’ll be a solid power back.

Does this mean we plan run more
Bell…big back
Scott…big er back
Weaver….Bigger yet
Harbor….Biggest H back
"Buy low sell high!"
Nick Cole….BIG BIG BACK

Wow
I actually really like this kid
He legitly doesn’t dance around at all, just runs right through the hole
we had 44-6
you had 58-14
now we want an eagles SuperBowl win in Dallas next season
CB left
Syd’Quan Thompson
Donovan Warren
"Buy low sell high!"
So he's a FB who can run
So now the Eagles have 5 fullbacks on the Roster?
Weaver = All Pro
Wright = Special Teamer
Bell = Backup FB
Scott = Another Backup FB
Harbor = FB hybrid (Weaver was TE in college also)
Buckley = Cut
Harbor is not a backup FB either. I’ve actually met Eldra Buckle a couple times, and he is a good guy but he is cut for sure.

I think
You guys are overvaluating him alot. I don’t think he makes this team over Buckley at 3rd string because Buckley plays great special teams.

NOT A FB
Charles Scott is def not a FB he is a back-up running back. Bell, Scott RB. Harbor blocking TE. 3rd Best Value for the Eagles during the draft. Scott never took the featured back role. He is a big back that hits the hole with conviction but doesn’t have the breakaway speed as you saw in the clip, but 10yrds is good with me. lol
