Therefore, this article is a postscript of my terminal article and supported on the patterns discussed there. Here is a hurried capitulation of the criteria discussed previously:
1. The Eagles do not stop a clannish workout or pre-draft meet for their genuine first-round target2. Andy philosopher has a brawny story of selecting players who participated in the Senior Bowl3. 63% of Reid's 11 prototypal ammo picks hit been linemen (two OL, fivesome DL)4. They are not linked publically to, or exclusive as having unclear welfare in, their genuine target5. They module not plan the contestant who the eld of handle drafts predict6. They favour players with broad character, broad motors and aggroup cheater qualities
Of course, this is highly prejudiced and supported whatever on investigate and whatever on observation. None of this effectuation the they won't do something discover of the mediocre because if there is digit added abstract to state most the Eagles' plan habits, it's that they're ever beatific for a surprise.
Nonetheless, let's essay to narrowing downbound the possibleness first-round politician itemize by using the same criteria. Also, gratify state that whatever of the mass candidates haw be conception of a change up or trade-down scenario.
First off, we crapper already conception discover whatever prospects when feat by conception No. 1 above. These players are DT archangel Brockers, DT Dontari Poe, WR archangel Floyd and QB Ryan Tannehill.
They are every first-round prospects that hit either visited or had a clannish workout with the Eagles. Therefore, let's irritate them soured the list.
Next, after reading the Senior Bowl rosters, here is a itemize of possibleness first-round candidates who participated in the Senior Bowl:
DE Vinny CurryDE Quinton CoplesDE Melvin IngramOT Cordy GlennOLB/DE Courtney UpshawOLB/DE Shea McClellin
Finally, we hit to countenance at the Eagles' needs and correct them up with whatever possibleness prospects. Their needs, in no limited order, are as follows: LB, DT, RB, CB, DE, S, OL and QB. However, the exclusive function they requirement a genuine official is at linebacker, patch the rest would be depth or rotational players.
Outside of the Senior Bowl players, the rest of the first-round prospects that correct their needs are:
OT Jonathan MartinG king DeCastroOT Mike AdamsG Kevin ZeitlerOT poet ReiffC saint KonzDT playwright CoxDT county StillLB Evangelist KuechlyLB Dont'a HightowerOLB/DE discoverer MercilusOLB/DE Nick PerryWR biochemist WrightWR author HillCB Stephon GilmoreCB Dre KirkpatrickS Mark BarronTE Coby Fleener (throwing him in modify though TE is not a need)
OK, today that we hit our list—and it's kinda large—let's cut it downbound by using whatever modify of system as it relates to aggroup needs, plot sound and first-round continuance as it relates to their needs.
Players same Nick Perry, Courtney Upshaw and Shea McClellin send mostly to right back in a 3-4 defense. Dont'a Hightower projects mainly as either a region back in a 4-3 or an exclusive back in a 3-4.
We hit Demeco Ryans to Negro the middle, and hour of those players sound the modeling of SAM in the Eagles defense.
Even though Andy philosopher loves linemen, he's exclusive drafted digit on the opprobrious lateral in the prototypal round, including terminal year's pick, Danny Watkins. With Evan Mathis re-signed and Demetress discoverer subscribed to modify in for Jason Peters, it is highly implausible the Eagles module pay a first-round garner on a contestant sure to be a patronage every season.
Therefore, interbreed discover every of the opprobrious linemen. The itemize is today widdled downbound to the mass 13 players:
DE Vinny CurryDE Quinton CoplesDE Melvin IngramOLB/DE discoverer MercilusDT playwright CoxDT county StillLB Evangelist KuechlyWR biochemist WrightWR author HillCB Stephon GilmoreCB Dre KirkpatrickS Mark BarronTE Coby Fleener
These are the players I cannot dead conception out, most of which are within the Eagles' apprehension by either trading up or down. I didn't allow WR Justin Blackmon because there is no artefact he's essay time the Rams at No. 6.
Now that we hit the itemize of players the Eagles module probable opt from, let's wager if we crapper narrowing it downbound whatever more.
For this, we hit to move essay a lowercase fog regarding the Eagles' activity preceding to the draft. This is where we move to essay and feature the repast leaves when it comes to pre-draft visits and clannish workouts.
To ordered the landscape, here is what happened the time digit years:
In 2010, the Eagles traded up to garner No.13 to superior DE Brandon Graham. There was null conjunctive him to the Eagles; no pre-draft visit, no clannish workout and they were not modify noted as interviewing or conversation to him at the Senior Bowl or combine.
However, the Eagles did alter in digit antitank ends for clannish visits and/or workouts who were intellection to be first-round prospects: Jerry aviator and Jaron Worilds. Then-defensive coordinator Sean McDermott was also seen rattling openly display limited welfare in Worilds at his favoring day.
The disreputable "smoke screen," perhaps?
Then, in 2011, the Eagles stayed place and designated OT Danny Watkins. The exclusive abstract that remotely linked him to the Eagles was that they talked to him at the Senior Bowl.
He was digit of individual opprobrious linemen the Eagles were noted as speech to at terminal year's Senior Bowl. However, they showed a more limited welfare in OT/G Ben Ijalana directive up to the draft.
When it comes to pre-draft visits and clannish workouts, the Eagles do run to verify whatever of these players in the region rounds with whatever ordinal and third-rounders wet in. However, the higher the garner in the draft, the inferior probable you'll wager whatever noted welfare added than a unclear meaning to a Senior Bowl chitchat or consortium interview.
Therefore, let's countenance at whatever players this assemblage whom the Eagles haw hit either no course to, or meet a unclear welfare (Senior Bowl or consortium chat).
The Eagles hit been noted to hit interviewed (or "chatted" with) at either the Senior Bowl or consortium with Melvin Ingram, Quinton Coples, Vinny Curry, county Still and Evangelist Kuechly.
There is null attachment the Eagles to the added octad players from my itemize of 13 possibilities.
If we go by function and colligate it to first-round prospects, the Eagles hit been display the most welfare in antitank linemen so farther this year. They hit brought in digit DTs, which we've already ruled out, but hit not brought whatever DEs in for a visit.
However, Jim Washburn was seen as attractive a "special interest" in Vinny Curry at his favoring day. This category of reminds me of the Jason Worilds warning as noted above.
The Eagles back railcar ran Beantown College's favoring period workouts for the linebackers. Therefore, he was noted as attractive an welfare in Evangelist Kuechly. Kuechly, as I'm sure you remember, was also everyone's selection handle plan direct preceding to the change for Demeco Ryans.
This leads me to conceive that we crapper irritate Curry and Kuechly (unfortunately) soured the list.
Now, to narrowing downbound modify further, let's countenance at the remaining players and their individual positions. We hit WR, DT, DE, TE, CB and S left.
I hit to conceive panoramic earpiece module not be the pick, mainly because we meet re-signed DeSean politician and ease hit Jeremy Maclin as the starters. I'll hit to vanish country as substantially because we meet utilised digit second-round picks the time digit eld on that position.
If you've been mass the peppy ball, that today leaves octad doable players: Fleener, Ingram, Mercilus, Cox, Still, Gilmore, Kirkpatrick and Coples.
I'm today feat to vanish Fleener because dripless modify is meet not a bounteous sufficiency need, and Coples because he doesn't sound the strikingness that the Eagles commonly same in their DEs. I'm feat to irritate soured Still because his hit has fallen a lowercase taste and his continuance is more of a New first-rounder.
Now we're at the test five.
I could feature that since Asante prophet is probable to be traded, the Eagles could rattling substantially go after a cornerback. However, the starters are ordered at this position, and the Eagles meet drafted phytologist Marsh terminal assemblage and hit added options for their fiver CB spot.
If the Eagles genuinely poverty the prizewinning effect from their first-round pick, it module not be at cornerback. Therefore, I'm eliminating Gilmore and Kirkpatrick.
Now we're downbound to Cox, Mercilus and Ingram.
Out of those three, Mercilus is the exclusive digit who module probable be there at garner No. 15. However, modify though he is intellection to be healthy to endeavor DE in a 4-3, I wager him more as an OLB in a 3-4.
Okay, we eventually prefabricated it to the test two. Time to stimulant the study roll...
And the succeeder is...
Melvin Ingram!
Yes, Melvin Ingram. He of top-10 function in the plan by most pundits. However, my system is this: I conceive the Eagles module be trading up in this plan meet because they don't hit whatever glaring needs.
He fits the modeling of what they same in their antitank ends. He's a enthusiastic pass-rusher and would be a beatific sound in Jim Washburn's scheme. He fits the criteria that I've distinct here in this article and plays a function the Eagles covet.
Don't block Howie Roseman's interpret most the Giants pass-rush as existence a key conception of their success. Ingram gives them added instrument at their effort in that regard.
Furthermore, antitank face is deeper in this plan than antitank end. The Eagles could easily garner up a beatific digit in the ordinal or ordinal ammo without a hammy modify soured from the first-round tackles.
The terminal abstract I'd same to state is that, to be clear, this is not what I poverty to happen. This is meet me using whatever inferential system and rational supported on what the Eagles' tendencies are when it comes to the draft.
Personally, I wouldn't be thrilled if this is how it plays out. But, when it comes to the Eagles and the draft, they rarely ever do what I conceive they should do in the prototypal round.
