Eagles Will Pick 15th In The 2012 Draft

PrintThe Giants victory over the Cowboys tonight means that the Eagles have finished in 2nd place in the NFC and will pick 15th in the upcoming draft, one slot after the Cowboys.
And I'll double check this but I believe the pick they got for Kevin Kolb from Arizona will be 13th in the 2nd round. So they'll pick 13th and 15th in that round.

Gut instinct:
Kuechly is gone before 15. I have no basis for believing this*, so feel free to tear it apart.
*I do not do much research on the NFL Draft until like a week before it. With the all-star games, Senior Bowl, and the combine, it is just too fluid and changing for me to follow at this point. To say the least, the NFL Draft is not my strongsuit.

I don’t think he’ll be gone. Linebackers that go high (like top 15, high) are typically athletic freaks like Patrick Willis, Aaron Curry, Keith Rivers and Brian Urlacher. Kuechly isn’t that type of guy, Kuechly is more of a Demeco Ryans, James Laurinaitis type and those typically slide a bit.

Is there anyone else worth moving up for in the 1st, to like the 10th spot ?

Worth it? Eh… The only guys that would be worth trading up from #15 for IMO are Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin, Trent Richardson, Michael Floyd, Justin Blackmon, Devon Still or Morris Claiborne*.
*at this point, some guys I like later on will make big rises

You don’t like Burflict right ? He’s not disciplined enough ? Or too much of a hot head ?

With the first? No way.
One of the seconds? Then maybe he could have some value.

Hmmm...
I think this is going to be one of the more interesting Eagles draft in a while, I can see them maneuvering a lot and going after need with their early picks, because they’re not too far away. Can’t wait.
Since I don’t keep up with college football, don’t know much about the players, isn’t Burflict supposed to be a beast though or is he just show flashes of greatness and is not consistent ?
"The past is the past, the present is the present, and the future is the present."
Pricesless Post-Game Quotes from Mike Vick
He's a beast to the people with blind eyes
And to everyone else, he’s the latter. You know how people fall in love with a player who’s big and fast and strong (ala Taylor Mays, JPP). But what may be worse than Burfict’s attitude is his understanding of the game. He knows how to play the game of football….with his physical skills alone, but he may lack instincts and it showed a lot this season. When teams started game planning against him he didn’t respond well.
He pretty much is Taylor Mays with more attitude, he may be bigger, stronger, faster than everyone, but he can’t control it all. If he learns how to harness somehow, he ceiling is very high. But whether or not he learns to harness it is anyone’s guess and to be honest, I think its more unlikely than likely.

There’s some good lb in the later first/early second. That lb for Alabama is pretty good. Can’t remember his name.

We don’t need a quarterback. We should draft the first round pick hoping they can contribute THIS year.

Oh please. JPP was the #15 pick in the draft. Burfict is a late 2nd or third round pick. It’s not a choice between the two.

if we can get one kueckly early and vontaze in the late 2nd then, hell yeah…. but i don’t think burfict won’t last that long.
When I die, I want the Philadelphia Eagles to be the pallbearers at my funeral. So they can let me down, one last time.
vontaze is going round 1.. teams can’t pass on that skill. Baltimore, Pittsburgh a veteran team will take a shot on him and try to manage the ego

If keuchly is gone at 15
What direction do we go?
by con-vick on Jan 1, 2012 11:52 PM EST via mobile reply actions
He should be gone by that point based on talent, he MAYBE slides because of injury and character concerns but I wouldn’t bet on that.

Depends on Desean.
Needs IMO are LB, WR(if Desean is gone), safety. Depth along the lines would be nice too since our entire dline will be in their 30s in a few years. I could also see them trade back and draft a couple LBs in the late first and early 2nd rounds.

Vikings possibly (though I see them addressing that horrid secondary first)
Redskins maybe (they may look for Fletcher’s successor)
Bills very likely
Chiefs may want someone opposite of Derrick Johnson
Seahawks may reach even though I more than likely they will stick with Hawthorne and KJ Wright

Redskins = QB
Bills = doubt it… they need a QB too but that contract… yeah about that.
I think everyone should be bilateral coordinated.
They may, now that you bring that up I sure hope they do and give him a monster deal and he turns into A.J. Feley.

The point is that while it’s one hell of an impressive game, it’s still just one game. Cassel went 400+ in back to back games. Volek did too and also eclipsed Flynn’s game in yardage.

Buffalo needs a pass rusher more than anything.
If they look LB, it’s a 3-4 pass rushing OLB.

Who are they going to pick? They’re not in position to grab Griffin or Luck.

"Stats are for fantasy and losers. Winning is an attitude."
I could see them trading a ton to move
up and get RG3. The way I se it there are 2 elite Qbs in the draft (Luck/RG3) and since all the teams like seattle, miami, KC, washington can’t get Luck they’ll all go agressively after RG3. And l could see the redskins bidding something like the atlanta/julio jones trade last year (which would be stupid because they have way too many holes to give up a bunch of picks). Either that or stay where they are and take Landry Jones because for some reason people see something in him that makes him a first round pick that I don’t see. And Tannehill will be there too. I just think somehow they go after a QB.
I don’t see them taking RG3. After the Mcnabb fiasco (for them), Shanahan is only going to be interested in traditional pocket passing QBs. He’s too old school to think outside the box and take a dual threat.
by BrandonB on Jan 2, 2012 1:31 AM EST via iPhone app up reply actions
Not all dual-threat qb's are the same
For one thing, Elway himself was an athletic scrambler.
For another, RGIII is more accurate than McNabb. He did come from a spread, but his ceiling is in the Newtonian ballpark
GO CUSE, BLUE, AND EAGLES!
The important thing is......

Low, I usually yell at other teams taking players I like.
The last time I yelled at the TV over the Eagles’ draft was when they traded out of the first round for the second year in a row (I liked Otah).
I liked Maclin and Graham. I was SUPER disappointed with Watkins.

If Luke Kuechly is gone at 15, why not Zach Brown from UNC or Courtney Upshaw from Bama
by EaglesAPhiA on Jan 2, 2012 12:51 AM EST via mobile reply actions
Brown is an athletic freak
who relies on his athleticism and doesn’t take on blockers very well. I’ll pass with our current system.
off topic
but do you guys do some sort of playoff pool here at bgn? i need some way to entertain myself without the eagles in playoffs and if you guys dont do that ill put something together
fuck the cowboys
I bet Reid goes with that Guard from Stanford if Kuechly not available. We all know his philosophy

Well… if they re-sign Mathis as they should, there will be no need for an o-line pick at all.
Follow Bleeding Green Nation on Twitter & Facebook.
I'm hoping
Reid finally caught the hint this year that a worthwhile LB is needed on this team. Mathis should be resigned because the argument can (and rightfully ought to) be made that he was the second best lineman on the team after Peters. We don’t need a CB with Asomugha and DRC, Landri, Dixon, Cullen look to be a fine group of DTs. The ends should be set with Cole and Babin (with Graham waiting in the wings). RB is fine, WRs may be a take even though I think that position can be filled through either FA or 2nd or 3rd round of the draft.
The only position position that could rival our need for a LB is WR possibly and S maybe, but with such a weak safety draft and with Allen, Coleman, and Jarrett still being so young, doesn’t look like that position is gonna be addressed. I mean, I wanna say Reid should have no other reason than to look at LBs, but for some reason I have that doubt inside me that Reid will neglect to look at that spot. I just could see that if Kuechly is there, Reid would still find a way to mess it all up.

Feb = Super Bowl

April = draft.
The fact that we can actually know exactly what teams need before the draft makes the whole thing a lot more fun.
