WEBVTT - Eagles Draft: Eagles Select Eric Rowe 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.920 To announce the Philadelphia Eagles selection. Please welcome from the 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:15.400 University of Michigan. Selected in the fourth round in the 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:21.400 nineteen ninety six draft, offensive tackle and congressman John Runyon 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.800 with the forty seventh pick to the twenty fifteen NFL 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:35.600 Draft to Philadelphia Eagles select Eric Rowe, defensive Backue Tall. 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.240 One of my favorite players in the draft. Almost six 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:44.120 one two five. Eric Rowe played free safety for three 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:48.040 years before kicking over the corner this year. He's got 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:52.000 length and cover skills. He's a top fifty pick all 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.920 day long. And Charles we both felt like this was 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.400 a guy that could line up outside as a matchup 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.560 guy against some of those big wide receivers in today's NFL, 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:07.080 but also kick inside on the tight ends like Gronkowski, 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.039 and that's what he did at Utah last year. They 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.600 used him as a specialty player, that chess piece that 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.200 can move all over the board where they needed him 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:19.399 on whatever down. That's where he went to me. This 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.480 is a pit coach strong to deal with their division. 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.399 You gotta deal with Dez Bryant and Dallas. You gotta 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.320 deal with Odell Beckham in New York. This is why 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.040 they went and got him. Well, you look at corners now, 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.600 you're always looking for size, and even us on the 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.520 college level, you're looking for a guy six foot or taller, 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:38.920 and that way you can always match up where you 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.679 can match up outside and inside, because what a lot 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.160 of people are doing now and you're a lot of 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.480 offenses stiff from their best receiver inside and so they're 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.280 looking for a matchup problem. So you don't have to 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.640 take a corner. And you look at him. Erica has 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.000 enough ability where he can go play the nipple position 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.720 and he can go cover the inside and then if 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.560 you need to bounce an outside just base down play, 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.160 he can go outside of player. And that's another Pack 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:07.680 twelve player for Chip Kelly, who has now made seventeen 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.320 draft choices or been part of it since coming off 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:19.160 the campus of the University of Oregon. We're live here 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.240 at the Novicare Complex, Dave Spidero and Merrill Reese. The 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.480 Eagles have made a trade, as you know the details, 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.560 and they select Eric Rowth from the University of Utah. Merril, well, 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.840 that is the guy we were looking for them to select. 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.280 It's a guy that they had writted very, very highly 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.559 and as a matter of fact, Dave, he was selected 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.960 as the defensive back with the best athletic skills at 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.320 the entire combine. I am very interested to hear from 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.120 Chip Kelly whether he plans to use him as a 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.160 cornerback or a safety. He has considered to be a 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.680 corner with safety skills right, so played for safety at 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.600 safety I believe three years at Utah played cornerback last year. 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:00.280 Big Range actually watched the tape of him with Mike 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.079 Mayock one day and enjoyed that, And yeah, fills the 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.440 need for this football team. The Eagles dealing their pick 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:11.040 in round number two, that's the fifty second pick overall, 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.639 as well as two picks in the fifth round, one 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.120 forty five and one fifty six overall, they get back 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.680 the forty seventh pick, which is Eric Row, and the 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.359 one hundred and ninety first pick overall. That's a sixth 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.920 round pick from the Miami Dolphins. And Eric Row is 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:31.640 the latest Philadelphia Eagle at a position of need and 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.040 still and fits the requirements that the Eagles are looking for. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:41.000 Paul rangee versatile, physical, and we'll see what he projects 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.640 as ship Kelly will be along in just a little 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.840 bit to meet the media and explain the move up. Now, 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.880 the Eagles wanted to keep all of their draft picks, 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.240 certainly not the case where they felt that Row would 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.640 not be there at fifty two, so they make the 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.760 move up. They give up the fifth round draft picks, 0:03:56.760 --> 0:04:00.200 So the Eagles out of round number five tomorrow, but 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.960 they do pick up a second pick one overall in 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.040 the sixth rounds. Yeah, but this is good. This is 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.320 good because two picks so far, and they got two 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.840 very highly rated players. They got the wide receiver that 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.599 they loved, Nelson Aglare, and then to life they got 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.360 the safety or a quarter that they also thought very 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:25.320 very good. Chip Kelly at the podium speed parameter, it's 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:26.760 kind of off the charts in terms of what he 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.400 can do from a physical standpoint. So, um, there was 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.080 a lot of things that stood out for him. You know, 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.480 he's another guy. Will get him here and throw him 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:34.560 in the mix with the guys we got in the 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.160 secondary and then figure it out at that point in 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:43.680 time to evaluate chorus. Now, when you work out dbs, 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.200 you kind of it's a dB workout hill. Every skill 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.919 is you know, kind of highlighted ball skills, change of direction, backpedal, 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.560 ability to flip your hips, all those things are highlighted, 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.400 whether you're a safety or whether you're you know, it's 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.960 really basically almost most teams to kind of use the 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.240 same workout whatever dB you're looking at. So did you 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.520 moved up? Yeah, we were working it a little bit there. Yeah, 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.760 we we we felt and you know, he was the 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.400 guy we wanted all along. You know, I wouldn't have 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.159 been surprised if he went a lot earlier. Um, you know, 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:15.640 we kind of had him and Byron Jones with the 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:18.120 two guys who really kind of targeted. Obviously, when Byron 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.840 went off the board really early, we were nearly uh 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.279 nervous and just hoping that there's a chance he could fall, 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:31.080 and um, it worked out for us. He's a taller, 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.320 longer guy, so you know, you hope those are the things. 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:34.680 But we'll get him in here and look at look 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.240 at everything he can do. The fact that he's he's 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.479 he's got that many starts under his about that safety, 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.120 but then really excelled this last year at Corner and 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.880 then you know, um, I think was kind of very 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:49.440 intriguing to us, though I don't know if it was 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.680 get ahead of because what was going on is a 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.920 lot of people were trading up. So if you looked 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:55.560 at the board and said, hey, I think they need 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:56.960 a corner, then all of a sudden you look up 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.600 and someone jumped them and took that spot. So there 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:01.760 was a couple more trades ahead of us where you 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.680 were you were interested, and you're like, okay, I don't look. 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:06.440 You look at a team here, maybe they took a 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:07.960 corner in the first round. You feel pretty good, but 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.960 then someone jumps into that spot, you know, so you 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:11.880 really can't predict what's going on. There's I know, there's 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.960 a lot of there's a lot of phone calling going 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.360 on around the league. It seems like right now in 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.880 the second round, yeahs Miami, the first team, you looked 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.400 at her and you try to do this. Now, we 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.400 were working for a while the scheme specific skills at 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.680 at at safety does he have Yeah, I mean that's 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.719 what we're looking for. We're looking for safeties that can cover. 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.160 And this kid played actually corner, you know, So he's 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.039 got those skills and um, he can play corner, you know. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.600 So we'll we'll we'll figure out exactly where he fits. 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:38.240 But he may start out at corner force. You know, 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:40.200 we we've got we've got a lot of time here, 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.359 but uh, you know, it's it's it was getting what 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.840 we felt was the best secondary guy out there for 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:46.560 what we do, and that's what we was. He was 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.120 a guy we targeted since the draft ended last night 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:50.760 that that was the guy, that's the guy we wanted 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.480 when he was at safety and play. Yeah, he played 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:56.359 free safety. He started thirty three games at free safety, 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.320 started three games at throng safety. So he's done at both. 0:06:58.320 --> 0:06:59.920 He's been down on the box and he's been a 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.880 high safety and he's also played obviously corner. So you know, 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.640 really the one guy that was kind of prototypical and 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.760 what we're looking for is a defensive player is in 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:15.600 the secondary was eric Now. I mean you always have 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.200 a you have a wishless kind of going into it. 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.840 But he also and I think I said it yesterday, 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.880 when you when need crosses over the talent line, I 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.520 think that's when you get in trouble because you're reaching. 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.640 So Um, we had a very very high grade on 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.680 eric Um. You know, if we ever traded back, he 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.200 was a guy that we really targeted if we were 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.240 going to move back yesterday, you know, in terms of 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.680 being able to get so um. You know, we we 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.960 were fortunate enough in terms of what we felt about him, 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:41.160 um to get him where we did other defensive prospects 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:46.920 prospects before. Tell you what do you see and how 0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.640 he can read offense? He's outstanding, you know, really strong 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.680 from a mental standpoint, and he's got a very good 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.080 football iq um. You know, I think those are some 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:57.320 of the things that stood out with him. And I 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.720 think his ability to recall what they did at you 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:01.640 when you put the tape on, tell you the coverage, 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.160 explain it, but not only explain it from the safety position, 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:05.680 but explain it from a corner position. You know, a 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.240 lot of a lot of times they're they're a byproduct 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:09.960 of their experience, so they don't know what it's like 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.960 when you you kind of move him outside. But he 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.000 can do that because he actually has done it, you know, 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:29.480 in games. So you really don't, I mean, you just 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.320 it's it starts on what price are you willing to pay? 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:35.920 You know, what's what do you have to really move? 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.960 And really it's just picks, So you know, what what 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.160 are we willing to give up? You know, we really didn't. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:42.720 We didn't want to give up a third or fourth 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.280 if if if we didn't have to um, and obviously 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:47.720 we didn't. I think we You know a lot of 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.240 times you offer something to a team and they come 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:51.800 back with a connor offer and say what about this? 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:53.640 Well that's you know, that's not We're not going to 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:55.520 do that. You know, that's too much, that's too expensive 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.560 for us to make that move. UM. So it worked 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.720 out in terms of, you know, trade the two fives 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:02.760 but getting a six back. So it's really we lost 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:06.800 one player. Yeah, we tried to trade a lot earlier 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.120 too much. Yeah, that's kind of how it works with everybody. 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.320 Just like when we were on the clock at twenty yesterday, 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:16.760 we field it a lot of calls, but we didn't 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.679 feel like it was enough. There wasn't enough offered for 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.840 us to say, okay, we'll take that to move back. 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.319 You know, there's because if you take it and move back, 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:26.520 you know the player you want may not be there 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.560 when you move back. You kind of you there's that 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.400 you can't predict it. So it's a little bit unpredictable. 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:36.480 So let me start hearing. I'll come right through. You're 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.040 still kind of getting used to call the trade this. 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.160 We split that up. You know, I think we've done 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.160 a really good job at delegating wherever it is. I know, 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.760 Rick Mueller and Lewis Clark are on the phones. When 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:49.199 the heads on the phones, I'm on the phone. So 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:50.679 truly just kind of how it comes in because a 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.040 lot of times, you know, you you're trying to get 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:54.920 involved with something, but then someone's calling you. So there's 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.960 three or four phone lines going on at once. But uh, 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.640 it's very organized up there, not very chaotic at all. 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:01.920 So I thought we did a really good job in 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:03.960 terms of handling this and getting out of it what 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:05.840 we really want to get out of it. And starting 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.080 yesterday when the draft ended, he was a priority for 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:10.440 us getting up. You know, as we came in here 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.000 today and talked about our strategy, what are we going 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.000 to do, what are we willing to give up um 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.040 to go get that player? And is it too expensive? 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.040 And they were there were you know, we had opportunities 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:20.360 to move up, but it was just too expensive and 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:21.960 we didn't. We felt like we wanted, you know, we 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:23.439 really want to keep our third pick, really want to 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:29.319 keep our fourth picks up. Let's go to charge. Specifically, 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.480 he ran four four five in the forty. He was 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.360 a three nine four in the short shuttle. He had 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.839 one of the best three cones at the combine, h 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.640 thirty nine inches in the vertical jump. I think twenty 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.600 reps in the bench press. I mean when you look 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.880 at from a height, weight speed factory, he was in 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.960 the top twenty five percent of all the defensive backs 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.320 that were that were out there, and I think in 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.600 most cases in the top ten percent. Yeah, you can 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.360 see that it's evident that he's got a skill set 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:58.199 be available second round Byron Jones. No, we felt if 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.120 we moved back he would probably be there, but he 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:01.760 would probably go on the first day. When you think 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.559 of value and what's too much to give up and 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.760 a trade chard, we have a trade chard. I think 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:08.520 it's changed a little bit with the new CBA, and 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.319 there's a formula in there, there's a there's math and 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.200 belt in it. So, um, we have a computer doing it. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.280 Because that's what I was just going to finish is 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.240 I was told there would be no mass. We have 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.840 a computer that actually computes that for us. So he'd 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:21.560 just say, what's two fives in this? And then you 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.240 hit a button and it comes right up, and you're like, oh, 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.719 that's pretty good. Is it a negative number or a 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:28.160 positive number? So it's a it's a positive number, we 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.440 would agree to it when it's a negative number. Yeah, 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:32.920 But if you're buying, you may have to give a 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.360 couple points. If you're selling, you obviously want to get 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.360 a couple back. So I don't think we're going to 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.400 play it against UTA two twelve. Would you have exposure 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.679 doom him at all on the field, No, I didn't play. 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.960 We didn't play against h on. I played h only 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.720 game we played against Utuk he was he was still 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.440 in high school, so I did not see him in 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.920 person on film for a cross a bonus, did you 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.480 see him as a college goes You're like like, did 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:57.480 he catch your eye or while you're on in the 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:02.120 draft process. No, And when I was at Oregon, I 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.440 wasn't scouting for the NFL, so I wasn't really looking 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.320 to but you can see something. But we were never 0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.040 going to play Utah, so I would never look at 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:09.959 him and say, hey, you know there's a guy. You 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:11.480 really got to take a look at him and say, 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.480 who's that safety? Because there's a two game stretcher where 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.679 you don't play them so you know, until it's two 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.080 years out. So I didn't really think of it. So 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.920 I thought he fared very well at the Senior Bowl, 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.320 you know, and I think, uh, that's really where the 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.200 first time we got first live action look at him. 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.760 He was a guy that we had identified UM our scouts. 0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:31.240 Trey Brown did a great job kind of um laying 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:32.720 the groundwork and one of the first you know, when 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.080 we were out there and we had our first initial 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:35.559 meetings before we went to the Senior Bowl. Certainly a 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.080 guy we had to keep an eye on. We had 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:38.640 a lot of people look to really take a good 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:39.960 hard look at him at the Senior Bowl and that 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.840 was our real for our coaching staff and Ed and myself, 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.120 UM and the other scouts besides Tray. That was our 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.560 real first exposure to him, and we were impressed with 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.000 him from then. I think there was a sil size 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.400 of the Dold prospect last year. The utime play the 0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:57.959 quarterback safety. Yeah, I know, Keith McGill. He was a 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.640 little bit taller, a little bit longer. While you were 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.480 looking at if you were going to Eric kind of 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.000 pop out. Also, even though he was not. Now, we're 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.160 really just focusing on that class, you know, so we 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:12.520 don't really start looking at the next group until until 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:14.679 you start, you know, the next class. So what are 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.679 his strengths specifically as a corner press. Yeah, he's a 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.000 press corner. He's that big, physical press corner we're looking for. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.360 He's over two hundred and five pounds long, arms, physical, 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.360 you know, And I think that's why Utah moved him outside. Um, 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.599 they felt like that he had the skill set and 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.240 it was a good move by Kyle in terms of 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:32.760 doing it, and really one of the better defensive coaches 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.960 in college football. Kyle winning him at Utah and just 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:36.520 really raved about him. I was out there for his 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.800 pro day with that, and then Corey actually went back 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.559 out and did a private workout with him. So you're 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.559 down to seven picks, now, do you want to try 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.959 to get another one day? Yeah, I mean, philosophically, you 0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:48.439 always want to get picks back, but I think you 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:51.160 don't want to sacrifice if there's someone that you want, 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.600 So you really just got to look how the what's 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.280 left on the board, and then you know, hey, we 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:56.640 got a shot at getting him. You know, there's a 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.520 couples that we sweated out. You know, Eric is a 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.000 guy we would sweat it out. Wea is he's still 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:02.280 gonna be there. Is he's still gonna be there. He's 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:04.240 still gonna be there. So you really just see how 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.640 it expresses itself and what what's gone off the board. 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.320 You know, philosophical you always want more picks, but you're 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:10.760 not just going to say, hey, we're taking picks for 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.000 the sake of taking picks. If there's someone you really want, 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:17.840 we're gonna we're gonna take them. A couple of years 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:23.000 guys you brought into I'm valuable with them to you 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:28.320 as far as ef what you thought these guys were 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:32.320 just I think they're really valuable. I think anytime you 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:36.640 get an exposure, um, you get a better idea of 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:38.840 what they're all about. You know. And I know some 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:40.920 people and I had mentioned that, you know, use them 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.360 as smoke screens or things like that. I'm not, you know, 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.040 I don't. We're not into that. I want to find 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.840 out as much as we possibly can about each individual 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.680 prospect so that when we're really involved in kind of 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.920 looking at him, is that we're making accurate decisions as 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.240 is our kind of mantra is that we don't care 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.000 who we don't get. We care very much who we 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.480 do get, you know, so everybody's always, oh, we should 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:02.680 have had that guy, We should have had that guy. 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:04.480 We better really know about the guy we get, you know. 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.800 And that's where we're trying to dig deeper and work 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.040 even harder at knowing everything about those guys and trying 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:10.840 to get out as many times. If if we don't 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.400 bring him in here for a top thirty, then we're 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.520 certainly going to see them at their place, and um, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.680 just visiting with them. I think their scouts, you know, 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.040 really did a really good job in terms of getting 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.400 all the background information because the tape is to tape, 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.040 you know, I think anybody can look at the tape, 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.600 but then you have to dig and really figure out 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.160 how do they fit in terms of what we're trying 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.440 to build here, And um, you know, Eric is a 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:31.280 lot like Nelson. You'll get a chance to meet him 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.200 tomorrow and you can just kind of see what he's 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:34.960 like as a person and his character and all those 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.520 other things. And uh, that's centrical and what we're doing. 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:38.760 But the only way you're gonna do that is you 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:40.480 have to go find out, you know, whether you're bringing 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:42.880 them in here or you're getting on getting on a 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.360 plane and going to see them at their place. So 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:56.200 I think this makes no I mean, I never saw 0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:00.800 it this one, you know. I mean I don't. I mean, 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:02.680 you guys are gonna write anything you want, so I 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:06.640 don't care. PAC twelve. Utah's close to Oregon geographically. I mean, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.840 I don't know, maybe there's vowels in the names or whatever. 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.120 And I think they're all good football parts and that's 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.760 why we selected them. So we don't specifically look at 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.400 one side or another side. We just there's also a 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.520 really good football There's a lot of Pactol players that 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:21.880 were selected last night that we didn't take. You know, 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.640 I think Washington had three in the first round. Oregon 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:26.480 had two guys taken in the first round last night. 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:30.160 Then we didn't take them. Actually, so yeah, we haven't 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:36.360 taken Jake Fisher, you know. Yeah, all right, guys, thanks 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.280 so PAC twelve fever, you gotta laugh about it. Chip 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:46.400 Kelly announcing and explaining the move Eagles trading two fifth 0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.400 round draft picks to move from fifty two to forty 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.360 seven in round two. They get back a sixth round 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.320 pick from the Miami Dolphins and select the name that 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.200 we talked about at the top of our evening, Eric Rowe, 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:00.800 the cornerback safety position to be to Terman from the 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.920 University of Utah. Did I Did I hear him right 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.880 where he said at the end kidding about the fact 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:07.760 that they didn't select an Oregon player. He said, we 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:11.600 haven't taken Jake Fisher, yes yet, right right? So that 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.560 would that would cap We'll find out in about an 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:15.720 hour and a half in round three off the Eagles 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.600 go in that direction. We are going to take a 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.280 little break here. Eagles Draft Central presented by Deetson Watson, 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.679 Dave Spidero with Meryl Reese. Where we've got a long 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.159 way to go. We want some analysis of, really in 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:28.240 depth on how Eric Rowe fits in to the Eagles 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.439 defense from a scheme standpoint, and we are also going 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.240 to speak with Eric Rowe coming up when we return 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:45.400 to Eagles Draft Central presented by Deetson Watson. Welcome back 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.359 to the Novacare Complex. Eagles Draft Central presented by Deetson Watson, 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.280 Dave Spidero, Eagles Insider with the Voice of the Philadelphia 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.160 Eagles Merril Reese and after a day of relative calm 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.760 on Thursday, well, Friday has been a second round of 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:02.480 Neill giving it to the action as we take a 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.840 look at round two of this twenty fifteen NFL Draft 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.720 to date, the Giants starting things off where they trade 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:12.040 up to the top of round number two, Merrill selecting 0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:17.240 Alabama's safety, Landing Collins, and then the Devin Smith went right. 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.720 Any comment on Landing Collins, Well, Landon Collins was a 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.879 great safety, I mean a great safety for Alabama and 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.440 in the box and the box safety who did not 0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.040 fit here and the guy that you really liked, and 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.080 we talked about this on the air off the air, 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:35.760 Durrell Green, Doria what's his name, first name, Darriereen Beckham, 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:39.520 the six foot five and change wide receiver troubled off 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:41.959 the field and you think that's a great pick by Tennessee. 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.680 I think it's a risky pick. But he's a talented player. 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.680 Duryo Green Beckham to me, is a clone. He is 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:53.159 very similar to Dez Bryant, and like Dez Bryant, he 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:56.200 comes with baggage. He comes with a very troubled past. 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:00.399
