How will the Eagles look next year? From players resigned players, released player, free agent, traded, and drafted.
The Philadelphia Eagles will be going through a transition period. The Chip Kelly Era has begun. His five year contract will keep him around for at least three year in my opinion. I know the dream is to have him take us to the Super Bowl year one. As an Eagle fan I have realized that we are in the year of rebuilding. From discover who our quarterback is to looking at an offensive line. Plus who is our defensive coordinator? 3-4, 4-3, or multiple defensive schemes. We can even add in the Tampa 2. But reality is 3-4 or 4-3, maybe a mixture of both. There a lot of questions in play. What are the facts? What are the player's futures? I believe we will go to a 3/4 and look at drafting defense heavily.

Thoughts and possibilities:
Quarterback - Kelly is a fan of Nick Foles, but to bring in Dennis Dixon someone who knows his system. Plus EJ Manuel who wants to play for the Kelly. There is always the possiblity of bringing in Alex Smith, but money is the issue or draft picks.
Fullbacks and Tight Ends - Emil Igwenagu can play either position, and Delanie Walker can block
Offensive Line - The reason for not a high draft pick was due to the free agents that are available and the defensive change to a 3-4.
Linebackers - The reason no one was drafted for linebackers was due to that alot of these players played in a 3-4 in college and the misuse of Andy Reid using them to their strengths and he is horrible at drafting linebackers.
Corner Backs and Safeties - Massive change in both spots, but bring in or keep expierence to mentor the players.
