TwoUpTwoDown Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 4 hours ago, Danger said: So here's a thought, coming into any specific draft, who was "your guy" you wanted the Eagles to draft with their first selection. Ignore Wentz because everyone knew that was coming. The most recent one I really wanted was Dee Ford. Did well in 2016 after a slow first two seasons, was hurt most of last year. I was pounding the table for Brandon Graham in 2010. Really wanted Fletcher Cox in 2012. He has far surpassed expectations. Pounded the table for Barnett last draft. I was extremely impressed with his tape. Still can't believe he fell to pick 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlash Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I think the last player I was actually in love with as a prospect was just last year with Jamal Adams. I knew the Eagles had no shot, but a guy like him ends up being the glue to a defense for 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlesthought Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 2017 Dalvin Cook 2016 Jaylon Smith/ 2015 Shaq Thompson/DGB / 2014 Kelvin Benjamin/ Deone Bucannon 2013 Ansah Can't remember who I was scouting that far back I know I wasn't big on a ton of Eagles picks Cox/ BG but I think its easy/2nd nature to second guess your team's selections early.

I wanted JJ Watt, Demarcus Lawrence, and Vontaze Burfict in the first coming into their respective draft years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 There are just so many scenarios of who would be sitting at 32, I feel like it's hard to hone in on a "guy" this year. I also really want them to trade back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually lets look back.... 2017 - Dalvin Cook...effing Minnesota trading in front of us 2016 - I guess Wentz. Didn't really have a "favorite" because of the massive trade up for a QB 2015 - Marcus Peters was my wet dream that almost came true was so pissed when Big Red traded in front of us and took him. My plan B was Byron Jones...that SPARQ score 2014 - Demarcus Lawrence. I also liked Dennard a lot but he went in front of us. 2013 - Lane Johnson 2012 - I wanted Burfict so bad, one crap combine and "off field issues" later he could have been had for a 7th. 2011 - I wanted Watt, I had a mock where we traded up for him. We didn't, we took Danny Watkins. 2010 - Derrick Morgan. In the Great War of 2010 I was team Earl Thomas. Graham has come around but it took a long time. 2009 - I was a sucker for the Michal Oher story. 2008 - I wanted Jeff Otah, was cranky that we traded out first for Jason Peters. We all make mistakes.

My shining mock draft on here was in 2012 giving us Cox, Kendricks and Boykin. I just missed on the eventual SB MVP and major contributor in Curry.

IrishHooligan00 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 2017 - CB Sidney Jones 2016 - LB Myles Jack 2015 - CB Marcus Peters 2014 - S Ha-Ha Clinton Dix 2013 - DE Dion Jordan (Glad we got Lane though) 2012 - LB Vontaze Burfict 2011 - WR Austin Pettis 2010 - LB Sean Lee 2009 - RB LeSean McCoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't even have a 2nd and 3rd round pick 4. This roster could be fielded as is and still be one of the more complete and talented rosters in the league. 5. We probably trading back to pick up more picks anyways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlash Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I just realized the poetic justice of how incredible the draft was in Philly last year, and how it got trolled by that loser Dallas player, only to have Dallas steal the draft out from under us this year. Now, in their house, we'll get to announce our pick as the SB champs. Feels good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don´t have one, so we can either troll them by having them hear ¨The Super Bowl champions Philadelphia Eagles select...¨ or if we trade back pay them back. Eric Allen is the strongest candidate I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
