Well, #Bengals wanted to take him right there RT @GeoffMosherCSN: Just reached out to an NFL scout about Hicks. Response: "Stupid pick."

Jordan Hicks missed just two of 71 tackle opportunities against Power Five competition last season. #Eagles

Could not be happier to have @JordanHicks join the @Eagles! Recruited the little bro to #Texas and we're back at it again.

To be fair, just got this from a different NFL scout on Hicks: "Like Hicks. Only LB left that can start."

Those of you talking about ILB being crowded...it is. Eagles scouted ILBs all offseason. They were going to take one. Who/when only mystery.

In third round #Eagles lock in on OLB Jordan Hicks, Texas, who has a great 3-cone drill time (6.78).

ILB Jordan Hicks is a solid pick. Tough, physical LB with good athletic ability. Eagles wanted an ILB. Had LB coach at his Pro Day.

Mariota aside, I was liking the draft Chip was having. I do not understand the Hicks pick. #Eagles

LOL Jordan Hicks' third comp on @mockdraftable is Mychal Kendricks: http://t.co/AuIQj4suJK

The skinny on Hicks is that he's an excellent player when healthy, which hasn't been all that much. He'll fit right in here, then.

Hicks is first Texas player drafted by the Eagles since Chris Akins back in 1998.

From asking execs about him just now, Jordan Hicks can play either ILB spot in 3-4. Best fit is OLB in 4-3. #PHIpick
