Who do you guys want in the draft?

I'm hoping that you guys DONT take Eric Fisher so that he is there for us @ #5

From the mocks i have looked at, its either Dion Jordan, Dee Milliner, Geno Smith, or Eric Fisher


Jordan has the tools to be an absolute monster, especially in this new defense they're installing.

Can't really fuck up OLine in this draft either

DeMeco Ryans and Connor Barwin. They have the makings of a good 3-4 LB corps. Half of our team from 2011.

Chip isn't joking around with this qb competition.

Vick and Foles equal split on 1st team reps

Foles said he's confident he can run Chip Kelly's offense. And he keeps saying that, and keeps saying he's confident he can win the starting job.

We'll see!

Foles is better than a lot of people give him credit for.

I'd be down for this

Especially since chip kelly has inside info

So youll know hes legit if he goes here


That's the thought I've had all along.

I want Fisher with that #4 pick because he's a perfect athletic tackle for Kelly's up-tempo offense. With him, we can move Herremans back to guard and have a stand-out o-line if everyone returns to their prior form before the injury bug got them last year. If Fisher isn't available, I want Jordan. No Jordan? Give me Milliner I suppose.

He showed good poise for a rookie. We will see who our QB is next year, but I see it being Vick. I really hope we don't take Geno with that 4th overall pick... I would take EJ out of FSU with that 2nd round pick though!

Just don't feel like Milliner will be the next Darrelle Revis like people are trying to say, if somebody wants to move up and grab him, I'd be all for it.

But yeah, you can't fuck with either of the two tackles, pretty safe route there, that's what I would do. But Dion Jordan is definitely enticing.

Something like 7/12 top 5 OL picks in the past few years have made the probowl or something like that.

edit: if they feel like the OLine will hold up, I would definitely go Dion.

I don't WANT Milliner with that pick, but we could use him there is no denying.. I think like you with it though.. we need a difference maker player with that pick, not a solid player. Also, the 3rd tackle Lane Johnson is really good too. All 3 could go top 10, but I doubt that.

At least there are a lot of good players in this years draft. No overall eye-popping talent, but a lot of skilled athletes. Somewhere in this draft we need a young safety also.

Another intriguing name is Star

He could possibly be there when it's our pick.

If the Eagles change to a 3-4, they'll need somebody to clog the middle.

Him playing NT, and Fletcher Cox playing as a 3-4 DE would be so much rape

edit: We can easily pick up a safety later in the draft, there's so many good ones this year and we don't need to reach like we did with Nate Allen and Jaiquawn Jarrett.
