The first 3 picks need to address every level of the defense. One safety, one or two DL's, and one-two "230+" LB's.— Birdman1906- Jeff "The All-Seeing Eye" McClane still thinks he's being clever with all this Asante trade bull, I see.— jimqk
- Linebacker!!! Luc!!! Wow, we traded for one maybe good linebacker and all is solved??? Remember how people though the Giants were dumb for drafting D'lineman when they were stocked. Who's laughing now. And I don't like them laughing- trust me on that.— Phillyexp
- Absolutely! Defense wins championships. C'mon Andy, Howie, Joe. Do the smart thing for once. — essell
- There's a reason why the Ravens and Steelers have superior defenses year after year. They have superior LBS and safeties! Mark Barron, Luke Kuechly, or Dont'a Hightower!— PhileaglyersFan
- I see Andy trading out this pick...which I dont think is a bad move.— LB817
Comment removed.- How much longer do we have to look at the Eagle-Redskin line score at the top of the page? That game is in the books by now. Eagles won.— wildwood guy
- I agree 100%!!! Delete it already. — king_of_lincolnfield
- Yall need to stop this draft trade BS no one not the reporters or the fans have a clue what they are going to do the Nova Care coplex is as tight as the cold war KGB headquarters so lets just STFU and watch it come together. Before you all look like fools.— eagle fan for life
- Eagle for ile ia right, we won't get an insight before they pick. They have multiple scenarios. the question, do they have value run stopper, or another qaulity linebacker as their best approach. Andy is always doing something no one expects as he tries to out wit everyone - he gets too cute when all he needs to do is take the shortest path between 2 points. At 15 select a large run stopper Dtackle. Don't trade up or down. Save the other picks and get good quality. Lord knows the eagles paid the price for it last season with an 8 and 8 record. Time to cash in on that record.— Lerze777
- 1 round: Fletcher Cox (DT)
2 round: Brandon Boykin (CB/KR)
2 round: Zach Brown (OLB)
3 round: Brandon Wedeen (QB)
That alone will fill the holes needed for Andy to get a super bowl— Laneil47 - My pick for 1st Round is Courtney Upshaw. But wtf do I know. I think LBs are important unlike some people.— king_of_lincolnfield
- HAHAHAHAHAHA Superbowl?????????????????????? Not with Andy or Juan. They will pick a C.B. that will be a stretch who will get hurt next year and be gone after his rokie contract. We have seen this a million times before— yourdaddy!
- That red line under the word means you spelled the word wrong, just right click and pick the recommended spelling rookie...ha. Eagles in New Orleans in Feb. — MidGreen
- Andy needs more fastballs! More DTs are on the way!!— skipdog
- its should be Floyd, Worthy, and Brown as the first 3 picks...Maclin, Jackson, Floyd would be a scary sight to most coaches and players. Worthy could be the best DT in the draft and no one is really talking about him, and Brown would atleast make Chaney work for the SAM spot and would be an instant upgrade over all other backup LBs. There are some good DBs in the later rounds, and right there most of the holes get filled. As far as QBs go the Eagles will draft their future next year when atleast 2 elite prospects will declare.— chrisr
- This team does not have 9 roster spots available, they need 5 impact players and depth and trade the rest of the picks for future selections.— MidGreen
- We still have an idiot defensive coordinator who can't put players in the right positions to succeed.— ej610
- Remember after the top 30 guys the talent drops off tremendously. The Eagles need to get the help they need in that top pick. Do the homework and research because the season could depend on it.
- Upshaw is more suited to a 3-4. Keuchly is better anyway.— p-diddy
- I would love to see us trade back with New England (Andy and Bill always do a trade) and use those 2 first round picks on Kuechey and Barron then take Worthy (Michigan State DT) and Janaoris Jenkins (probably gone though) or Rainey in the 2nd. Would rather see Eagles take Worthy in the 2nd round and beef up LB and S positions first (unless they get Bell at S in FA).— connorjr
- Everybody's favorite (Fletcher Cox) will be off the board by the time 15 comes around. I'm actually ok with it. Brockers or Poe would be just fine as well. Poe reminds me a lot of Albert Haynesworth....A big athletic freak with a questionable motor. But with Washburn, Haynesworth was the best DT in the game in Tennessee. That Washburn sure knows how to motivate D-linemen.— MrMiles1
- The more I read about who they're bringing in, the more I think that Devon Still is their guy at 15, unless Kuechly is still there. If he is, I can foresee a scenario of the Eagles taking Kuechly at 15, then using both 2nd round picks to move up into the first round to take Still.— beegal99
- Still is at best Mike Patterson 2.0, Poe is a bust, just look at his game tape, any game tape and if you have eyes you will soon agree. Brockers is a non presence with almost no history or production. Worthy is at least the 2nd best, arguably even #1, DT in this class. As long as its something like Kirkpatrick, Jenkins, Gilmore, Worthy, Wagner, Kendricks, David, Barron, Smith: any combination IMO, as the first 3 picks Ill be a happy Fan. I would also love Floyd at 15 and Fleener in the 2nd.— chrisr
