WEBVTT - Eagles Draft: Previewing Day 3 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:24.159 Well, we see how it changes from the nightfall in 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:28.640 Philadelphia on a Friday, a busy Friday night in South Philadelphia, 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:34.360 and as the sun rose a beautiful Saturday, getting everybody 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.960 ready for Day three of the twenty fifteen NFL Draft. 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.519 Hello everyone, and welcome to Eagles Draft Central, presented by 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.000 Deetson Watson once again, Dave Spidero, the Great Merril Reese. 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:48.720 I bow at your presence as always, and we entered 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.720 day three of this twenty fifteen NFL ter. We do 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.520 after a very very productive Thursday night and Friday night. Yeah, 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.960 we've got a lot of fun, some moves to be made, 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:02.200 and another unpredictable day I think for the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:06.319 the Eagles have four selections on this day. Their pick 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.840 in the fourth round, of course, no picks in round 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:14.680 number five having traded them to the Miami Dolphins in 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:18.080 the deal that netted the Eagles Eric Row. And then 0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:20.440 we see two picks in round number six, one pick 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.120 in round number seven. We don't know how that's going 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:23.679 to look at the end of the day. As we 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.800 get you caught up with our Eagles Draft track or Meryl. 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:31.039 Three picks in and on paper anyway, four picks to go. 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.600 Who do you like today? Well, you would think that 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.320 at least one of these picks has to be devoted 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.480 to an offensive lineman, at least one, maybe two. Maybe 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.800 If you're drafting for need, you better make sure that 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:44.800 they're the highest rated players in the play. I know that, 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.360 but I can't imagine that there are in some offensive 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.560 lineman who will be among the highest rated players in 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.040 the third, fourth, or six rounds. I think there has 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.320 got to be somebody out there. I mean, Trey Jackson 0:01:55.400 --> 0:02:00.000 is still out there. The interesting name is t J. Clemmings, 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.120 who is the big offensive lineman from Pitt. There's been 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.040 some talk about a stress fracture, but I remember years 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.119 and years and years ago Buddy Ryan called the guy 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.240 by the name of Keith Buyers and medical reject, and 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.000 he went onto a long and productive NFL career. He 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.639 had a stress fracture. So we'll see, Yeah, we'll see 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.760 an Eagles with those four picks, and certainly some needs 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.920 that we identify the offensive line, and then you're really 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.480 looking for measurables at this point in the draft, your 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.120 highest rated players. We've got you covered all the way 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.320 through today. Our third day of this draft, the final day, 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.240 Merrill and myself here in the Extrinity studio in our fancave. 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:40.200 We've got Bo Wolf and Greg Cosell who will get 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.280 us the exes and ohs and nuts and bolts, and 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:47.080 they are ready to go on this beautiful Saturday in Philadelphia, 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:50.359 and we're going to start with that right now. Eric 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.040 Rowe really was maybe the most popular of the three 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.280 picks here for the Eagles. They made the move up 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.760 to get Row, the defensive back from the University of Utah, 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:03.240 big range, physical, does what the Eagles like defensively, and 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.800 bow Wolf and Greg coach Cell break down a little 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.960 bit about Eric Row and what he's all about, how 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:18.320 he might fit into this Bill Davis defense inside the 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.880 film room. But I'll tell you who's anything but casual 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.600 on the football field. That's Eric Rowe, the Eagles second 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.440 round pick at the top. Had a chance to watch 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.320 him at the Senior Bowl, and you can see here 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.400 we talked about yesterday the demands of the cornerback position 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.679 in the Eagles offense to be physical. Let's watch Eric Row. Yeah, 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.520 he's right here at the top of the screen. And 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.040 we talked yesterday Bow about playing two kinds of press man, 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.160 where you can use your hands or you can just 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.240 mirror and shadow. Here Eric Rowe, as you see, will 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.880 use his hands very effectively to disrupt the route. And 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:51.040 the important thing here, which the NFL is different than college, 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.200 you can only do that in a five yard area 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.880 in the NFL, which he did really effectively right there. 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.400 In college you can carry that a little further and 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.080 some corners have to learn that. But there you saw 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.400 Eric Rowe do a great job with physical press man. 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.040 Now here is a very critical part of the game, obviously, 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.000 red zone where teams play a ton more man coverage 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.880 because the field is so constricted, And here you'll see 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.840 Row do an excellent job reacting to the route. The 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.159 thing I've always liked about him watching him on tape 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.239 is he's very patient, and you saw there he waited 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.960 for the receiver to declare his route before he reacted. 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:29.240 Very important to be patient as a press corner. The 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:30.880 other thing we always talk about with Row is that 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.600 length of course, in addition to the willingness to be 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.640 physical in the red zone, where the windows are even smaller, 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.760 you know the difference between half an inch of arm 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.280 length could be the difference between deflecting a pass or no. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.880 That is absolutely true because quarterbacks are always told that 0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.320 you have to be quicker and throw into tight windows 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.760 in the red zone. So as a corner, you also 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.039 have to be quicker and arm length matter is because 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:54.880 you just have to reach in. That's all you do. 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.120 We just saw that. Now here's Row and here's another 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.680 part of playing man coverage, playing off man where you're 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.040 not in press position. And this is something that he 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.599 did in college as well. And you'll see right here. 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:10.920 He's very comfortable. He's very smooth in his movement, comfortable 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.000 in his back pedal. Look at his feet, they're not 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.920 quite pissed and like, but they're very smooth. He's an 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.440 easy mover and then he reacts. And by the way, 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.440 I think you'll see him playing man to man on 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.280 some tight ends this year for you. We talked about 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:24.920 that yesterday, the ability to move Eric Row around for 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.279 Bill Davis. In this defense. You can see here working 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.280 against the tight end. All right, the last one, we're 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.520 gonna just take a look at him, willing to be 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:35.479 nasty against Time Montgomery here and he'll beat the block. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.240 And one of the notes I made when after I 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.440 finished watching my five or six games of Eric Row, 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:42.680 was that he embraced the physical part of the game. 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.919 He was used. He predominantly played on the left side 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.400 in Utah's defense, and that meant there were times he 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.159 was the boundary corner and the boundary corner the short 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.480 side of the field. They have to be physical, and 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.400 he was used as a blitzer. He would tackle in 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.839 the run game, so he embraced the physical part of 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.640 the game. Very excited about what Eric can bring to 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.840 this Eagles defense. Just a small taste there, looking forward 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.040 to seeing more during training camp and then of course 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.239 in his rookie season for the Eagles. Back to you guys, 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.000 all right, thanks very much, guys. You know, it was 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.039 an interesting time for the Eagles merrill. After a very 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:18.960 quiet first round only two trades made, the NFL got 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.040 busy on Friday trades at the top of round number 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.720 two in the Eagles getting in the mix, jumping up 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.560 to forty seven, taking Row, and the announcement came from 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.800 Chicago and former Eagles offensive lineman John Runyan was there 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:39.560 to announce the pick. With the forty seventh pick to 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:44.039 the twenty fifteen NFL Draft, The Philadelphia Eagles select Eric 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.920 Rowe defensive back U tall Well, that is the guy 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.160 we were looking for them to select. It's a guy 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.720 that they had ridged very, very highly, and as a 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.320 matter of five Dave, he was selected as the defensive 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.880 back with the best athletic skills at the entire combine. 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.680 I am very interested to hear from Chip Kelly whether 0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:06.360 he plans to use him as a cornerback or a safety. 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.880 He has considered to be a corner with safety skills, 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.320 which we're looking for. We're looking for safeties that can cover. 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:14.800 And this kid played actually corner, you know, so he's 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.680 got those skills and um, he can play corner, you know. 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.240 So we'll we'll we'll figure out exactly where he fits. 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:21.880 But he may start out at corner force. You know. 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.800 We we've got we've got a lot of time here. 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.120 But you know, it's it's it was getting what we 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.680 felt was the best secondary guy out there for what 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.280 we do, and that's what we was. He was a 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.880 guy we targeted since the draft ended last night, that 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.160 was a guy. That's the guy who wanted. And so 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.320 Eric row comes into Philadelphia. He has arrived at the 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.679 Novacare Complex, both he and Jordan Hicks. We'll have press 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.360 conferences later today. We'll have the fore live, of course, 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.760 here on Philadelphia Eagles dot Com.

And 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.360 then we check in with Tony Pauline, one of our 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.120 draft insiders. He's up in New York.

It 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.480 begins in just a few minutes here, Merrill and I 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.160 know we talked a little bit about the names before 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.960 we get into what happened yesterday. How about the safety 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.280 you got, Well, there's one a Penn Stater and Nitney 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.440 Lyon by the name of Adrian Amos. I don't know 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:19.520 about his tackling, but he covers very very well, but 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.120 there's a name. Okay, that is a name, and Adrian Amos. 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.000 Eagles fans of the Ears have come to rely on 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.920 Merrill rethe end names well from time to sign from 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.000 that indeed, there's all right. There's another dB out there too. 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.080 Um he's the one who's a specialist of jumping off 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.480 the balcony from the UFC. His name is Josh Shaw. 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.360 And then he concocted some kind of story about saving 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.760 his nephew. But look, when you go back and find 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.440 out that man Tai Tao invented a girlfriend a couple 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.880 of years ago, that's this is not so bad, all right? Well, yes, today, 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.160 Eagles feeling really good about what they did in rounds 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:57.640 two and three, and it was a really festive occasion 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.760 in Chicago as the fans got into the action. Who 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.960 would the Eagles pick round three, pick number eighty four, 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:10.640 with the eighty fourth pick in the twenty fifteen NFL Draft, 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:19.599 My Philadelphia Eagles select Jordan Hicks, linebacker, University Texas, A 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.760 young man who's battled through a lot of injuries and 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.000 I'm just so happy for him for him to come 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:26.200 back and have a senior year that he had. I 0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:28.920 was talking telling our players, you know, like you go 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.000 through a season and there's some guys you wish that 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.160 you could out back. Yep, he's one of those guys. 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.440 But I think he plays the run very well. He's 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.520 got a feel for working through traffic and finding the ball. 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:42.040 The thing that really stood out to me and now 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.079 you have to think about your sub packages, and that's 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.680 the way defensive coordinators think is he was a very 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:49.720 good pass defender. He played a lot of zone at Texas, 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:51.880 but he's got the skill set to play man to man, 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:53.880 which the Eagles play a lot of. But I think 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.480 he's a complete linebacker who checks pretty much most of 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.760 the boxes. This was he was our highest rate it 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.120 gat you know, we had him rated in the second round. 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.040 You've seen him playing a four three defense, You've seen 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.360 him playing the three down defense. That's really lend you 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.880 to show you what his versatility is. And again, we 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.520 think he's a three down linebacker and for us, that's 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.360 what we're looking for, separated us from some of the 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.559 other linebackersh we're pretty good in this draft, but their 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.200 first and second down guys, you gotta take him off 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:19.960 the field on third downe He's a type of player 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.120 like a Michael Kendricks and like Akiko Linza that you 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:23.720 don't have to take off the field and say done. 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.880 Jordan Hicks is the topic. Time now to send it 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.240 over to the fan cave. Bo Wolf Greg co Sell 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.559 a little breakdown if an Eagles inside linebacker, how does 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.840 he fit into this defense? Well, thanks, Dave. We're here 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.320 once again with NFL Film Senior producer Greg co Sell 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.240 and Gregg. Once again, we had the foresight to check 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.560 out the guys at the Senior Bowl, expecting that they 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.480 might land on the Eagles. This time it's the Eagles 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.920 third round pick, Jordan Hicks, the linebacker in the middle. Here. 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.040 Of course, you'll see Eric Rowe at safety. That's not 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.280 who we're gonna watch, though, We're gonna watch Jordan Hicks 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.680 diagnosed this run play and you get after it and 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.400 you'll notice he's in a stacked linebacker position. That's the 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.920 position he would play for the Eagles. The key thing here, 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.600 look at his eyes, go right to the ball, play 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.080 off the block, and then take the most direct path 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.440 to the ball carry. That's one of the most overlooked 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.840 elements playing linebacker is taking the most direct path to 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.120 the ball. And it sounds simple. Not everybody does that. 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.000 Hicks did that very well at Texas. All right, let's 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:19.679 look a look at the next play here now, and 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.839 you'll see some of the things that Jordan Hicks will 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.080 be asked to do in this Eagles defense, being able 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.239 to play in space because of the two gapping defensive 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.040 line for the Eagles. Will see him do that here. 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.320 Facts you're going to see there's the D lineman and 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.680 there's Hicks, and you're going to see the D lineman 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.760 Davis take on the two blocks, which allows Hicks to 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.199 run free. But you have to be able to recognize 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.760 that and fill quickly. And you're going to see Hicks 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:46.800 do that right here. Really good job, you don't. It's 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.280 how he stepped up right away. He didn't wait, he 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:52.439 read the play, he stepped up, he filled, and therefore 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:54.680 was able to make the play at the line of 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:56.880 scrimmage basically, which is what you want to do. You 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:59.080 don't want to sit back and let the runner get 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.200 to you on your side of the ball. Let's watch 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.319 him do it again, this time behind Danny Shelton in 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.640 the middle. Yeah, there's Shelton, there's Hicks, number fifty three, 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.319 and you're going to see the same thing happen right here. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.920 You'll see that Shelton sort of holds the center and 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:15.200 allows Hicks to freely flow to the football. That's what 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.880 you have to do when you're an inside stacked linebacker 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:19.920 in a three four defense, and that is sort of 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:22.920 the idea of this Eagles defense is to allow the 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.080 linebackers to roam free, untouched if possible. And now let's 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.079 take a look at Jordan Hicks in coverage, being very fluid, 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.280 probably one of the better coverage inside linebackers in this 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.200 trap yeah, and I think that's what really stood out. 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.760 And Chip Kelly talked about that at the press conference 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.199 as well, that Hicks was very very good in pass coverage. 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.760 That stood out when you watch Hicks on film at Texas, 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.280 really aware and Zones has the physical tools to play 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:51.040 man to man. Just a very natural coverage defender and 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.160 you're going to see that here because his movement is 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.880 very easy. Again, look how poised and comfortable he is 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.760 and didn't overreact. He allowed the back to declare the 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.640 out so he was able to react to it. Very 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.319 very comfortable coverage player. And the critical part here again 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.439 Coach Kelly talked about this a three down linebacker. That's 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:11.880 what Jordan Hicks can be. That's exactly right, can do 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.520 it all. A three down linebacker for this Eagles defense. 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.120 That's what Chip Kelly he's looking for. We look forward 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.440 to breaking down whoever the Eagles pick on Day three 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:31.080 here inside the film room. Eagles Junior Pro Day is 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.120 the ultimate experience for young Eagles fans and it's only 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.400 a few weeks away.

Don't 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.200 miss your chance to share this great experience with the 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.960 young fans in your life. So go to Philadelphi Eagles 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:54.239 dot com slash Junior Pro Day and get your tickets. 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:59.360 Today it's Dave Spidero with Merrill Reese. It's Day three 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.960 of Eagles Raft Central, presented by Dieton Watson and Meryll. 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:05.920 I'm gonna ask you a question. Do you know how 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:10.240 many draft picks have been made since the Eagles selected 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.400 Lane Johnson number one overall? I would say, all the 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.640 top of my head, somewhere in the neighborhood of seventeen. 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.840 You're amazing. Sixteen is actually the number sixteen because you 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.320 didn't listen to the questions doesn't include Lane. But the 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:26.560 point we all think that offensive line could be addressed, 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.520 it's one of these two to be I mean, there's 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.720 the offensive line is a key to the offense. We 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:35.320 all focus on the quarterback, and we all talk about 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.640 Sam Bradford having to stay healthy. To keep Sam Bradford healthy, 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:43.240 you cannot have a porous offensive line. And there are 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.080 two question marks on this offensive line at each guard spot. Now, 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.800 Chip Kelly may feel comfortable with Alan Barber, with Matt Tobin, 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.640 but this is not a proven thing. Barber was out 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.280 most of last year. He was hurt in the opener 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.880 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Eagles did have some depth, 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.200 Andrew Gardner playing quite a bit, David Mulk playing a 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.120 lot when Jason Kelsey was down town. They've developed some depth. 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.120 How do they feel about the offensive line? Well, Chip 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.800 Kelly said on Friday Night, but only Todd Harriman's has gone. 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.800 Everybody else has returned, so they still feel good about 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.640 what they have upfront. But might the Eagles dip into 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.280 the talent pool along the offensive line? We go to 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.800 Tony Pauline to give us a preview of some Day 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:29.400 three possibilities up front. Sean Hickey Serac uses a name 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:32.640 to remember if the Eagles continue to fourtify the offensive 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.160 line on the final day of the draft. The senior 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.160 left tackle has got a versatile game and plays smart, 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.760 fundamentally sound football. He's not overly athletic, he doesn't have 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.200 great footwork. He's not a dominant rumblocker, but he's very 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.480 good in all areas of the game. He can play 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.440 either right tackle or bulk guard positions and would add 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:54.440 depth to the offensive line. A former defensive lineman, p J. 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.640 Clemings has done well the past two years on the 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:00.240 offensive line, playing right tackle for Pittsburgh. He's all an 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.360 athlete with a great amount of upside, but he's also 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.439 a player that needs a lot of work. People are 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.120 torn on whether he's going to stay at the tax 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.760 position or move inside to guard, but a team that's 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:10.919 a patient with him and helps develop his skills on 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.320 the offensive line could have a very good player down 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.440 the road. West Virginia's Mark Lewinsky is next. Not too 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.080 many offensive lineman this year's draft or as mean or 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.640 nasty as Mark Lewinsky of West Virginia. He's a pass 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:25.320 protector in the West Virginia system that also showed himself 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:27.480 to be a dominant rum blocker. He doesn't have a 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:29.960 great upside, but his game is NFL ready and he'd 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:31.960 be a solid pick for any team on the second 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.840 day of the draft. San Diego State left tackle Terry 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.240 Pool has got a great deal of versatility, as people 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.119 feel he can line up and protect the edge at 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:42.480 the next level or move into guard. He's tough, he's strong, 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.840 and he plays with the nasty attitude. He's also fundamentally sound. 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.680 He's not a great athlete, but the proper system pool 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:52.719 can have a long NFL career. Boston College's Andy Gallick 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:57.159 is next. A very understated offensive center. Andrew Gallick of 0:17:57.200 --> 0:18:00.560 Boston College reminds me of Tom now and Round, picked 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:02.520 by the Dever Broncos, who went on to have an 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:06.000 All Pro career in the NFL. He's not over the athletic, 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.080 he's not dominant, but he's outstanding in every aspect. He 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:12.320 plays smart, fundamentally sound football, and he's a type of 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.320 late round lineman that could eventually start in the NFL. 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.639 Virginia Tech left tack Lawrence Gibson is one of the 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:22.040 more athletic offensive line prospects in this year's draft, and 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.359 as a solid developmental prospect. He can play tackle, he 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.720 can play guard. He can be used in a variety 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:29.960 of systems, but he'll need some work on his game 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.240 before he's NFL ready. A few offensive linemen work harder 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:35.919 than b. J. Finney, the center from Kansas State who 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.480 slugs it out in the middle. He's not an athletic guy, 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:41.000 and he's not pretty to watch, but he consistently gets 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:44.880 the job done with solid blocking fundamentals and good football intelligence. 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.240 Auburn's Reestismus is one of those players that doesn't have 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:51.320 great physical skills but gets the most from his assets. 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:54.119 He plays smart, tough football, knows where he is on 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:56.960 the field, and would add depth to any offensive line 0:18:57.040 --> 0:18:59.760 in the NFL. If the Eagles look at quarter father 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.840 offensive line on the final day of the twenty fifteen draft, 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.640 those are the names to remember. Well, there's certainly more 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:09.480 than the offensive line to consider today. Merrill is considering 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:13.480 safety as well. What about outside linebacker? What about quarterback? 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.800 What about some of the players that we heard might 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.200 go on Day one? Early in this conversation about the draft, 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.320 who are still on the board in day three? Let's 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:26.800 bring Tony Pauline onto the show via Skype. Tony Foulian 0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.159 from TEA from Draft Insiders dot Net. I got some 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:31.800 numbers for I got some names for you, got some 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:35.760 questions for you. Let's start with a quarterback position. Hunley 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.960 and Petty are out there. I don't believe Eagles will 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:41.600 make a move for them. But what kind of prospects 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.880 are they and why are they still on the board. Oh, basically, 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.080 you look at Hunley. He's a great physical specimen. He's 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:48.880 got all the tools to play at the next level. 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.960 But the fact is this, mechanically he's poor as changes 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.240 his point of release, really does not do a good 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.760 job with his reads, very indecisive in the pocket, makes 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.720 adverse throws not accurate, I mean, makes wide open receivers 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:04.000 will all too often work too hard to make the reception, 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.960 which leads to a loss of opportunity running after the catch. 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:10.800 Bryce Petty, you know, he's a pretty thrower, fundamentally sound, 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:12.520 he's got a good arm. But the fact is is, 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.000 you know, those Baylor quarterbacks have not worked out well 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.840 in the NFL. People who talked about their concern with 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.600 Marcus Mariota moving from a spread system into a into 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.360 an NFL type of offense, You've got a time sap 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.840 by ten when you're talking about Bryce Petty. So you know, humbly, 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.680 you're looking at the decision making the fundamentals Bryce Petty, 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:32.960 You're looking about the time it will take before to 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.080 get him ready, before he's able to step under center 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.240
