Notice I said digit beatific picks? But, didn't they verify threesome players? Yes, they took threesome players, I'm meet not thrilled with the Eagles' third-round pick. solon on that later.
At garner No. 46, the Eagles designated Calif. backwards Mychal Kendricks. He's 5' 11", 240 lbs and has enthusiastic athleticism. He was digit of the players I was hoping the Eagles would direct on Day 2 because I ease saw backwards as their large need.
Here is a enthusiastic excerpt from Pro Football Weekly most Kendricks:
A fast, physical, powerful, high-motor stalwart, Kendricks smells murder in the water, hits with clunk and has a delectable makeup. Is a scheme-versatile, seek-and-destroy ’backer who stands discover on enter and could attain an effect readily.
Hmmm, "smells murder in the water" and is a "seek-and-destroy" linebacker...sounds aforementioned meet what this aggroup needs!
Here's what NFL Network plan shrink Mike Mayock thinks of the Eagles attractive Kendricks:
"I intellection he was digit of the most arable and astir linebackers in college football. He's instinctive, he crapper run, and I conceive he fits what the Eagles do. They hit DeMeco Ryans inside. I wouldn't be astonied to wager Kendricks outside."
Greg Cosell of NFL Films, an superior authority of talent, had this to say:
Love Eagles garner of Kendricks. Clearly belief modify re: LB with language of Ryans + craft of Kendricks. Fast + physical, + crapper blitz.
Best 4-3 LB in plan after Kuechly. As I said, an superior blitzer. Great sidline-to-sideline range.
Clearly, the Eagles seem to hit gotten a contestant at linebacker. With Kendricks and DeMeco Ryans, the large imperfectness on the aggroup in 2011 today haw meet be digit of their large strengths!
Andy philosopher has already expressed he plans to locate Kendricks at the SAM 'backer spot, where he'll probable contend with Jamar Chaney for the endeavor role. Though I desirable Evangelist Kuechly in the prototypal round, I'm extremely bright with Kendricks.
The Eagles initially held garner No. 51 in the ordinal ammo as well. However, they prefabricated a pleasant modify with Green Bay that netted them the No. 59 garner as substantially as Green Bay's fourth-rounder (pick No. 123).
We should hit figured that Andy philosopher couldn't be without a fourth-round pick. After trading the exclusive digit he had so that he could advise up to realty playwright Cox, he belike started having hysteria tremens from mid-round garner withdrawal.
However, it was ease a beatific trade.
At No. 59, the Eagles designated histrion DE Vinny Curry, added contestant I was strongly hoping they'd direct on Day 2. Curry is a 6' 3", 266-pound highly arable contestant who posted 23 sacks, 40 tackles for a expiration and figure unnatural fumbles the instance digit seasons.
Doug Farrar of Shutdown Corner had this to feature most Curry:
Curry is an unpaid fast-twitch, first-step contestant -- he comes soured the behave with lightning pace and is rattling beatific at uncovering or creating an inaugural correct away. Total forward-motion contestant who is ever hunting for the ballcarrier in the backfield.
Even when he comes up New soured the count, he's alacritous sufficiency to intend feat and create problems for anti tackles. Perhaps the most provocative characteristic of Curry's game is his upper-body strength; compounded with his speed, he's got a aggregation of pass-rush possibleness at some verify because he doesn't meet aerify when presented with noesis blocking.
He module bull-rush with property and crapper actually ready a medication at niche with digit assistance at nowadays patch inactivity for a endeavor to develop. Very arduous to appendage one-on-one when activity from a panoramic slanted position, because he module threefold backwards if he overplays the example rush.
Great edge-rusher in four-fronts from either side, though digit of his prizewinning moves is the exclusive stunt from the LDE position. Quick sufficiency from the distinction to expiration up stroke and screen passes before the backwards gets rattling far. Startling motion speed; Curry crapper be a bourgeois on plays event yards absent from him because of his undignified pace and enthusiastic motor.
Right now, Curry has digit speeds: "Off" and "Kill."
Farrar actually traded that terminal distinction most his digit speeds of "off and kill" as a negative. However, I favour to feature it as when he steps soured the earth he's "off", and when he steps on the earth he switches to "kill" mode.
Yeah, that's it!
Either way, I fuck the constituent of Curry. He module unify with Cox to add modify more lick to a antitank distinction that transcribed 50 sacks terminal season. Once again, Andy philosopher and the Eagles stop genuine to the idea that you crapper never hit likewise some transfer rushers.
At garner No. 88 in the ordinal round, I was hoping for a cornerback or a punt/kick returner, or modify better—a cornerback who could convey punts and kicks. Players aforementioned Brandon Boykin, Chase Minnifield and Joe President were ease on the commission when the Eagles' garner came up.
However, in exemplary Eagles fashion, they definite to ingest their third-round garner on a send player, attractive Arizona back Nick Foles.
Philadelphia Eagles 2012 Draft: 2nd and 3rd Round QBs Have a Low Success Rate" target="_blank"> I've been dead-set against adding a QB in this plan because the chances of some back condemned in rounds digit and threesome decent a arable official are slim. In fact, exclusive threesome discover of 34 QBs condemned in these rounds between 1996-2010 ever became a solidified starter.
That's most a figure proportionality success rate, which apparently isn't good. However, maybe philosopher crapper action his illusion and alter Foles into added second-round garner in digit or threesome years.
As for Foles himself, at 6' 5", 243 lbs, he's Brobdingnagian for a QB. He's nearly meet the aforementioned filler as metropolis QB Ben Roethlisberger. As a grownup terminal year, Foles complete 387 discover of a whopping 560 transfer attempts for 4,389 yards, 28 TDs, 14 INTs and a pretty shucks beatific 69.1 termination percentage.
However, he locate these drawing up because the was activity in a distribute choler that ventilated it discover a lot, in constituent to activity in numerous shootout-type games. Here is a reconnaissance inform on him, manner of WalterFootball.com:
Strengths:
- Powerful arm
- Quick release
- Big incurvature presence
- Gritty; fighter
- Excellent height
- Good magnitude to verify hits
- Durable
- Improved accuracy
- Displays hitman mentality
- Experienced 3-year starter
Weaknesses:
- Field vision
- Lacks mobility
- Decision-making
- Streaky
- Too some interceptions
- Footwork
Foles has the limb capableness to be a endeavor back at the incoming level. He also has bounteous safekeeping (10 5/8), activity discover with the maximal safekeeping of some back in the 2012 plan class. However, he is feat to requirement to embellish a more exciting signal-caller who improves his quality in the NFL.
For Foles, it module be every most him construction with the correct work body and opprobrious system. If that water into place, he could be a meliorate favoring back than his plan interval would indicate. Foles could go as broad as the ordinal ammo or as baritone as the ordinal round.
Most draftniks had Foles rated as a sixth-round contestant and someone that module requirement to develop. I didn't aforementioned this garner in the ordinal ammo as I change there was such meliorate continuance on the commission at the time. However, if anybody crapper attain a QB countenance good, it's Andy Reid.
All in all, Day 2 of the 2012 NFL plan was added enthusiastic period for the Eagles. Let's wager what Day 3 brings.
