WEBVTT - Eagles Draft: Eagles Select Brian Mihalik 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.840 We're in round seven of the twenty fifteen NFL Draft. 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:25.440 Eagles will be on the clock shortly with their sixth 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:30.320 and final selection of this three day bonanza. Welcome everybody 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:34.480 at the Eagles Draft Central, presented by Deepson Watson. I'm 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:39.240 Eagles insider Dave Spiderow, and we await the seventh pick, 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.640 seventh round pick for the Philadelphia Eagles, a draft that 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:47.400 has been absolutely dominated by defense. After the Eagles making 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:51.839 Nelson Aguilar USC wide receiver their first pick twentieth overall, 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:57.320 they've gone defense the rest of the way with four players, 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.960 three cornerbacks, and they've thrown a trade in there as well, 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:04.639 taking a fourth round pick this year, turning that into 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:08.440 a third round selection in twenty sixteen, a deal done 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:13.200 with the Detroit Lions earlier. So we kind of wonder 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:19.400 what's going on. Let's get some names, some possibilities maybees 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.720 for you. As the Eagles about to get on the 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:25.440 clock here, you go to the Fancve with Bo Wolf 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.120 and Greg Go. So, guys, do you have a couple 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.400 of names for us? Do we? Ever? Dave, We've got 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.920 a big list of names. My number one name here 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.880 is going to be a Lonni Fua, the BYU outside 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.480 linebacker six five two thirty four worked out for the Eagles. 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.880 Tested very well at the combine. Had the best three 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.960 cone in shuttles for any of the outside linebackers, third 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.320 best among all linebackers. Jordan Hicks was second. By the way, 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.400 I think he could be the guy here. You also 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:56.520 think another same position going defense again, Tony Washington from Oregon. 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:58.800 Do it not just because he's from Oregon. I was 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.000 really intrigued by this player six three two forty seven, 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.520 very athletic, straight line fast at Oregon. Obviously Chip knows him. 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.440 I'm sure he recruited him. Played that sort of outside 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.320 linebacker position where he did a lot of things, which 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.600 is what they asked there outside linebackers to do. Played 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:19.000 in space splits, really looked the part. So Tony Washington 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.120 is a player I'm surprised actually has not gone off 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.320 the board at this point in the draft. A couple 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.440 other names dave at different positions. At tight end, a 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.440 position we've talked about. Casey Pierce from Kent State has 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.720 worked out for the Eagles. Wide receiver R. J. Harris 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.560 from New Hampshire is a possibility, and then You've got 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.399 the usual cast of crew of offensive lineman and safeties 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.800 that we've been talking about, but nobody those positions specifically 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.640 linked to the Eagles in the pre draft process. And 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.760 what you're looking for here is we've talked about measurables, 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.120 something that you really jumps out at you and the Eagles. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.799 That's why fo Yeah, and the Eagles all along the 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.280 way to pick is Brian Mehellick, a defensive end from 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.440 Boston College. So that's interesting because I really thought the 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:03.360 Eagles at this point with with the depth that Dick nine, 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:07.960 interesting that they would go d line. I think they're 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.520 very deep, very strong, young talented. What can you tell 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.239 us about Mehleck, Well, all I can tell you is 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.519 that it says that he's six nine. Let us seem 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.160 like some measurables. Otherwise, I got nothing for you on 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:24.480 Brian May. Yeah, he's one guy I can't say I've seen. Sorry, 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.520 I can't. I can't make it up. It's that well, 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.240 we know he's tall, we know he's slender, and we 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.720 know he played for Boston College and started there. And 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.600 other than that, Chip Kelly will be along to meet 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.040 the media, and we also know this the Eagles made 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:43.520 six draft picks, five of them on defense, and that 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.880 tells you a whole lot. We went into the offseason, 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.400 you're talking about how the defense had to get a 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:51.360 lot better. And Chip Kelly, offensive coach in this twenty 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.880 fifteen draft, goes five square at defense. You're five five 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.840 picks at defense. To end things out, he is not 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:03.200 a one side of the ball coach, that much is clear. Yeah, 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.040 he's certainly aware of the fact that the defense let 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.800 this team down at certain points last season. The secondary, 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.360 of course, as we've bemoaned, all the players over twenty 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.120 yards led the league. That's why we have three corners 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.760 on this team now from draft day, and I guess 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.839 Brian Mahalak will help that. That defensive line, what for 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.120 my money, is the best, our second best three man 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.839 defensive line in the league along with the New York Jets. 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.960 You know, he's got length, he's got he seems like 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.600 a guy who could possibly you know, have the skills 0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:35.240 to long lever strong levers two gap in this defensive line. 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.760 You know, I think Dave made an interesting point about 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:42.080 what Chip Kelly did in this draft, because other than Aglare, 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.599 it was all defense. So I think when let's look 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.240 ahead a little bit bow to how we think that 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.440 Chip Kelly wants to play. First of all, I think 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.000 he'd like to be in a situation which hasn't quite 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.479 happened yet, where he runs eighty plus plays a game 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.520 on offense. And I think the reason that he would 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.279 really like to have the two backs Murray and Matthews, 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.520 which they have, is because I think he wants to 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.720 run the ball fifty percent of the time, which in 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.840 the NFL is a very high percentage run game. But 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:11.719 I think that's what Chip wants to do, which is 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.200 why the two backs are really important. And I think 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.760 he believes he can scheme the run game just like 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.039 he can scheme the pass game. So what he needs 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:22.080 to address is his defense, and I think he again 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.160 I'm just speculating, but clearly by what he did in 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:30.240 this draft with five defensive players and Agalar, the focus 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.440 has been one hundred percent almost on defense. So I 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:37.359 think he feels that his offense can be effective efficient, 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.000 which it has been over two years in putting up 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.279 yards and points relatively speaking to the rest of the NFL. 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.160 So now we need to firm up the defense because 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:49.000 if we're going to score twenty seven thirty points a game. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.200 The thing we don't want to have happened is to 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:54.480 lose games thirty five thirties. Well, that's that's well said. 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.400 And Dave, I guess Brian Muhalak at six nine a 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.719 rich Man's Alejandra Villa. Indeed, and I'd say I'm writing 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:08.120 my column for Philadelphi Eagles dot Com here and I 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.920 trying to find ways to kind of describe chips philosophy. 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.120 Is the first year that he's running the show. And 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.039 we learn a bit about Chip Kelly here. A coach 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.400 who obviously we talked about here thinking defense, a coach 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.359 also was thinking about the future, right He's he added 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:26.039 a draft pick for next year, gave up a fourth 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.159 round pick this year looking to next year. A coach 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.440 who we all think of Chip Kelly as this riverboat gambler, 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.600 this gun slinger. Well, other than that trade to Detroit 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.520 and then moving up for Eric Rowe, the Eagles stayed 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.919 put in their other with their other picks, letting the 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.719 draft come to them. So it's not a Chip Kelly 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.240 is a I think we labeled. We put him in 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:53.080 a box too often. He's really extraordinary and to me, 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.200 has shown that he is able to approach this game 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:01.839 and approach his first personnel weekend in the draft in 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.960 a lot of ways, in a variety of ways to 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.599 get the players that he wanted. And one of the 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.919 interesting points to me there is the fact that he 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.160 was willing to trade out of the fourth round get 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.440 that future third round pick, as you said, having that 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.360 eye on the future, He's not just trying to just 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.120 win now heading into the twenty fifteen season, Now that 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.800 he does have that personnel control, it's clear that he's 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.800 taking the long term view for this Eagles team. You know, 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.800 And I think back historically, and I'm certainly not saying 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.080 that the Eagles are going to be the San Francisco 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.400 forty nine ers of the eighties, but I remember when 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.239 Bill Walsh was there early in his tenure, they took 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:38.080 three defensive backs in one draft. They already had Ronnie 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.680 a lot and they took three defensive backs or they 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.240 already had white hits. Excuse me, Ronnie Lott was part 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.360 of the draft, but they took two others in later 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:49.000 rounds and that became one of the best secondaries in 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.560 football for a number of years. Through the eighties that 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.200 helped them win super Bowls. And I think it's interesting 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.520 how some teams take the approach that when they have 0:07:57.600 --> 0:08:01.040 a perceived weakness, they really go heavy in a draft, 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.880 and it seems that it's always easy to say it 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:05.920 was the best player on their board. But I don't 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:10.880 think it's a coincidence that there were three defensive backs chosen. No. 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.119 But I also don't think that the Eagles were hoping 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.240 to come out of this draft with no offensive lineman. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.400 I think it's clear that they held true to their 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.840 board because they didn't at some point reach just to 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.200 take the next offensive lineman right the board. But they 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.600 stay true that they wanted those corners. I mean, they 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.720 wanted corners with length, and those guys were there. But 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.760 the time came, no question, And you will never know 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.160 the answer to that specifically, because I think in any draft, 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.520 clearly they traded up to get Eric Rowe. And my 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:39.959 guess is they had Eric Rowe, as I know some 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.480 teams did as a late first early second round plan. 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.520 Chips said that he said it was a trade back 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.920 target in the first round for them, right, So Eric 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.520 Rowe was someone they wanted to go get he did 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.600 make the point about Jordan Hicks being here and everybody 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.120 else was here, and there's no reason not to take 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.600 him at face value. But I think if you really 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.920 wanted to address your whole you also could have looked 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.040 to trade to do that if there was someone you 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.360 really wanted. So I don't think they went into this 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.040 draft like you said, saying we're not going to address 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.199 the old line. But I don't think it's purely random 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:16.520 that they came away with three defensive backs that clearly 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.840 fit their profile. Yeah. Absolutely, As you said, Dave, defense 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.199 the focus for the Eagles after the first round, back 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.040 to you in the Expinity studio, all right, With that 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:28.040 seventh picked Eagle seeking Brian Mallick from Boston College, and 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.760 we had a little special announcement one of a guy 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.760 who named Tim Lopez, who is near and dear to 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.559 everyone who comes into a Novicare complex. We see him 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.959 every day, we rely upon him. He made the pick 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:46.199 with a little help from Bill Bubba Bergie. Hi, I'm 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.320 Bill Bergie of the Philadelphia Eagles, and I'm here to 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.800 introduce Tim Lopez, who is the grille chef of the 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:58.040 Philadelphia Eagles, for to announce our next pick, with the 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.920 twentieth pick of the seventh round, number two thirty seven overall, 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:07.320 the Philadelphia Eagles select Brian mccallock, defensive end from Boston College. 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.120 We got delicious, nutritious food ready for you at the 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:15.520 novocare man, come on down, I'm on down, and that's bachelor. 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:20.880 Is something that Tim Lopez uses with absolute perfection. Thank 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.360 you very much, Bill, and thank you very much. Tim. 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:27.319 We'll learn more about mister mahollock when head coach Chip 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:31.160 Kelly meets to media. Now, let's bring it, bring it real. 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.920 To our draft expert, Tony Poline Draft Insiders dot Net. 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.160 He's in New York City. He's been watching this draft 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.319 for many months. Tony Poline, what do you think about 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:47.199 this defense? Defense, and more defense. I think we knew 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:49.960 it all along. I mean really, we figured that the 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.000 Eagles were gonna go with the speed receiver, guy who 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.920 can stretch the field. They got that in round one. 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.480 And you knew they wanted bigger cornerbacks. They wanted to 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.120 fortify the middle of the field. I think they've done 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.240 a good job of that. Well. I don't think we 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.679 knew that the Eagles would go wide receiver and then 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.720 five straight defensive players. We have not been able to 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.400 find a whole lot of information about Mahowick. Can you 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.679 tell us a little bit about him? Yeah? Absolutely. He 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.360 actually looks like an NBA center onto the field. I 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.400 mean he's massive. He sticks out to you on film. 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:21.520 Sort of an underrated, under the forgotten about guy in 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.960 the scouting community, which is said, he's a high motive player, 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.800 hustles to make plays. Could be used at defensive tackle. 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:29.440 You could use him as a two gap band when 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.600 you line up three when you use three man lines. 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.600 Not the greatest athlete, but not the greatest playmaker, but 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.839 someone who's gonna occupy the blockers and allow teammates to 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.880 make teammates to make plays on the ball. I'd be 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:45.080 very surprised if Mahollock's not on the active roster come September. Well, 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.560 it's interesting when you look at the Eagles roster, and 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.559 we're very familiar with the roster. You know, Taylor Heart, 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.120 a fifth round draft pick, has added a bunch of 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.720 weight and strength to his body. He's pushing for a 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.960 playing time. Brandon Baar had a very nice season last 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:03.400 year in his role of Eagles deep, young and talented upfront. 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.400 So I mean, if Mallock makes the roster, he's gonna 0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.360 have to beat out some very talented players. Hey, but 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.559 you can never have enough good defensive lineman. I mean 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:15.320 teams you know are struggling to have one or two. 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.280 The more depth you can end up there, the more 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.360 sub packages that you can use. That's a good thing. 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.280 All right, So let's talk about the sixth round with 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:27.280 Shepherd and Evans. Added your thoughts on those two players, 0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:32.000 which give the Eagles three defensive backs drafted. Yeah, Decary 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.880 Shepherd is a solid cornerback. He's been struggling with a 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.080 severe hamstring injury since January, but if you watch the film, 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:41.560 he's got excellent ball skills, can effective facing the action 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:43.960 as well as in man coverage. Not the biggest guy, 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.360 but I think a potential dimeback at the next level. 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.680 Randall Levans, He's an intriguing prospectives play both cornerback and safety. 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.160 Had a great pro day, has shown flashes at Kansas State, 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.560 but never really pulled it together. He's the sort of 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.040 guy that if he makes the team, it's ays a dimeback, 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:01.800 but he must earn his wage primarily on special teams, 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.920 has the athleticism to develop for the future. Tony, Let's 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:07.720 talk about the draft. As you look at the six 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.520 picks the Eagles have made, do you like what the 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.960 Eagles have done? Well, you know, you knew they're gonna 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.760 want to fortify their defensive secondary. They did that in 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.720 free agency. I think they've done it. In the draft. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.560 They added another piece on offense, they added a good 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.120 defensive linement. So overall, and I don't think any of 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.199 these players were reaches. You know, you're not saying that 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:29.000 any of these guys that they took in the first 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.320 round in the second rounds could have been had later 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.600 on in the draft. So I think overall they got 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.360 good value. They've got players that could help them well 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.680 now as well as moving forward in the future. Tony. 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.280 By our account, and this is unofficial, the Eagles have 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:47.160 seventy three players on the active roster. Obviously, every team 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.120 gets up to ninety players, and so the Eagles in 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:54.360 theory that would be very active in the post draft period. 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.679 In general, good group of players. Are there a couple 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:02.240 of names out there might get to the post draft 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.839 period who are really heads and shoulders above others. Well, 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.400 there's always some guy, one or two players that slips down. 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.280 I think they should be able to get some receivers 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.240 is undrafted free agents. Still a decent amount of running 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.560 backs out there if they're looking for a situational player, 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.800 and some linebackers as well. How about the offensive line, Tony, 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.440 We all have been wondering why the Eagles have not 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:26.440 addressed the offensive line, and Chip Kelly comes back and says, well, 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.360 we've only lost one and that's Todd Harriman's. But we 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.280 kind of look at the offensive line and see that 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.400 there's some age with Jason Peters, some age with Evan Mathis, 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:39.440 and your feelings on the offensive line, the crop post 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:44.000 drafty post draft, most of those guys. If you watch 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:45.760 the fourth round, there was a big run on the 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.880 offensive line, but but the tackle in the guard position 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.480 and it really thinned out. So they may bring a 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:56.200 few undrafted free agents in once the seventh round is over, 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.280 but I don't see any big names out there all right, Tony, 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.920 could you give us system an immediate reaction grade to 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:06.680 what the Eagles have done. I'm gonna I'm gonna be conservative, 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.680 I'm gonna say because it's all on paper, right now, 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.160 I'm gonna say it's anywhere between a B to a 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.840 B plus. I leaned towards a B. I like Agalar, 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:16.040 but I think he's more of a second a second receiver. 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.400 I like Eric Row a lot, but you know he's 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.920 not the He's not a polished prospect yet, there'll be 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.840 some bumps in the road. I think a lot of 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.840 the other guys that they they selected are more situational 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.480 role type players who can also play special teams. You 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.280 need those types of guys. It wasn't an art shattering draft, 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.680 but it's one of those selection players that will help 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.160 here and there. You know, may not, may make plays 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.080 that don't show up on the statuet. A more conservative, 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.240 conservative approach than perhaps you're expected from Chip Kelly, not 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.480 moving around as much as a lot of people out 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.240 there thought. You know, that makes for good headlines. But 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.000 you know, you've got to let the draft come to you. 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:53.880 And I like the fact that you know he traded 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.480 picks now for future selections. That's always that's you know, 0:15:57.480 --> 0:15:59.840 that's what the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick haven 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.760 instantly done if they want a lot of Super Bowl 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.440 So you know, you just don't trade for the stake 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.880 of trading. You only trade if you're targeting a player 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.400 like they did with Eric Rowe, and it's good value there, 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.080 it's a good deal. Tony Pauline, Draft Insiders dot Net 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:17.200 has always stellar work for our Draft Central show here. 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.440 We thank you so much for joining us throughout the weekend. 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.440 Thanks for having me, Dad, Tony Pauline, thanks so much. 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.360 And we'll take a break right now. When we return, 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.800 Tip Kelly we'll have his end of draft press conference. 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:31.640 We'll wait for that as we continue on Eagles Draft 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:46.680 Central presented by Deeton Watson. An absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous day 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:51.080 in and around Lincoln Financial Field on this Saturday, day 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:56.520 number three of the twenty fifteen NFL Draft, and we 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.600 thank you so much for joining us throughout these three 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:03.200 days of the draft. Eagles Draft Central presented by Dietson Watson. 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.399 We've been live with the old chair. Comes let you 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:09.399 be Nerve Center in Philadelphia. Dave Spiero Eagles Insider with 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.040 you now going to the fan cave and bringing in 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:16.080 bow Wolf and Greg Cosell as we wait for Chip Kelly. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:20.080 Some thoughts here prior to that guy's Greg, I hate 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.720 to even ask you this question because I just asked Tony, 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.480 but do you have an instant grade? We live in 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.280 this instant analysis world any general folks, Well, I can 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.280 only tell you. I'm gonna have to watch the table now. 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.360 I can only tell you how I evaluate the players. 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.399 And for instance, I'm a little higher on Jacorey Shepherd 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:40.160 than Tony Pauline is. I think Jacorey Shepherd in time, 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.520 because he's so inexperienced, has a chance to be in 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:46.280 a quality starting outside corner in the NFL. I don't 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:49.119 think he's limited to sub packages. He may be early 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.560 in his career, but I don't think that that will 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.120 be the way his career plays out. So I think 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.439 he's a very solid pick based on my evaluation of 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.399 the player, and I think that's what you have to do. 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.480 You have to evaluate the player. Uh. My guess is 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:04.760 that the Eagles had him rated higher than a sixth 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.400 round pick, as I would have too if I actually 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.399 put grades on every single player. So I think the 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:14.919 Eagles actually drafted pretty well based on my evaluations, and 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.000 that's the only way I can do it. Are there 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:21.280 players greg that you didn't think maybe as highly of 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.040 as the Eagles did some players who you know, Look, 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.119 the Eagles are trying to fit players into their system. 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.920 Other players that the Eagles drafted, you just didn't nob 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.479 should go there, no, because they really they only drafted 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.600 six players, so you know, didn't You don't know anything 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.480 about Mahalok so he than you thought, right, right, right. 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:41.159 I don't know anything about Mahalic and I'll be the 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.639 first to admit it. But you know, Aglar is a 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.040 player that I would not have rated quite as highly. 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:49.879 But I understand Chip's point of view on Aglar because 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.840 Chip was looking for a certain kind of receiver. You know, 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.880 someone like Rashad Perriman, who is available at twenty does 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:58.679 not fit exactly what Chip wants because I think he 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.640 sees him purely as an outside the numbers big receiver, 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.400 and Chip wants a multidimensional receiver who can line up 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:08.560 in different places in your formation. So I understand the 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:12.440 thinking behind Nelson Aguilar, and I think therefore it becomes 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.760 a very good pick in the minds of Chip Kelly. 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.320 Eric Rowe was a corner I really liked. I watched 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:21.360 him early in the process and really liked Eric Rowe, 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:23.919 who was your favorites. Here comes Chip Kelly up to 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:25.639 the podium. Guys, I'm sorry, we're gonna going to the 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:36.760 auditorium right now. That's good issue. This first time you've 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:38.680 had this, uh this set up with you and that 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:44.720 kind of had to go there. As far as decisions, 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:47.159 I just thought it was very orderly. You know. I 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:49.200 think we spent a lot of time in the last 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:52.919 whatever a couple of months so that you know, I 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.320 really it's the thing that says you're really not making 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:57.159 decisions when you get to the draft. The decisions have 0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.320 been made before. So I went through a lot of 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.240 scenarios and last a couple of weeks. If this is 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:02.880 there and this is there and that's not there, which 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.280 direction do we had? And then um, you know, kind 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:06.640 of fell the way we thought it was gonna fall. 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.399 There was a couple of guys, you know you I 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:11.560 hope he makes it a couple more picks, But realistically 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:13.199 when they got picked, it was kind of we we did. 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:14.879 I think our scouting staff did a great job of 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:16.639 slotting where we thought they were going to get picked. Um. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.760 But I thought it was really orderly, very very organized. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:21.280 That I thought Ed and his group did not sending 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.440 Yet did you do you feel different than the last 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:28.159 two years as far as I think, you know, I 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:29.960 did the same things in terms of my evaluation of 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:31.359 the film, being able to go to pro days, going 0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:32.760 to private workouts and all that, But I just didn't 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:37.800 have final say. So that was my question. How's role different? 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:40.160 How is in there advising us? Was that the whole time? 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:41.960 You know, we had our same group in there and 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.040 a lot of bouncing ideas off of a lot of 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.280 trade talks. We go here, go here, what you'd asked for? 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:48.560 So did you have to lean on him a little bit? 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:51.960 Or did you feel like two years of being attracting 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:53.719 pretty much knew a lot of show. I think we 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:55.480 understand it. But again I didn't run the show. I 0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:57.360
