Actually this draft has Matthews going first, with Chychrun going 2nd to Atlanta:

So boom.

I'm aware but I go by what I've already watched and scouts I talk to on a normal basis.

The Eagles may very well be a smoking crater when Chip is done and he'll just stroll off to a huge payday back in the NCAA.
- Doc_Sarcasm


They might, but I'm sorry, I agree with everything they've done so far, even if it's unconventional, EXCEPT for not re-signing Maclin

I liked Shady, thought he was the league MVP two years ago, but I thought I saw some burst gone last season, and he's had a lot of usage. When RBs go, they go quick. As Bill Parcells said, you can't put tread back on the tire

Trent Cole was a warrior, but age and cap hit, as well as spotty productivity...man, that's a move you gotta make, too

Herremans is 32 years old, declining, at a position where you just can't be bad

I would've brought back Maclin, because he was productive. But WRs...man, those guys are out there for all to find. If a coach tells me he can replace one, it's hard to argue that

i'm still confused as to why foles was traded
- 2Real

I'm getting drunk for Foles since he doesn't drink. And also hoping he lights the world on fire this yr and Chip is fired. Foles will win a SB before Chip does. Philly.com poll is currently 75 percent in agreement the trade was wonk. Adding the picks as well? Why would a vet ever sign there. Probably saddest day as an Eagles fan in 10 yrs, or longer. At least that team could contend.

The problem is that everywhere you turn, Chip has created fresh holes in the lineup. There were already too many holes to begin with, and now there are more.

Yes, but you seem to forget that this website has "draft" right in it's name. You can't compete with that.

Man, Chip Kelly won 10 games with a defense that gave up 400 points and with Nick Foles and Mark Sanchez as his quarterbacks

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that 75 percent of Philly.com can't do that

I wouldnt care if he had no lips and a zipper for a mouth, as long as he could figure out how to properly structure a contract, evaluate talent, and restock a depleted farm system.

No need to rub It in.... But it's nice to know a Flyer fan somewhere didn't suffer watching that crap tonight
- 3flyerkids


I missed it too I have missed most of them since around Christmas. I just check the scores and standings to see where we sit at the draft so this is what it feels like to be a leaf fan ....

Remind me again how many playoff games Chip Kelly has won?

You're serious? He took over a team that finished 4-12, wins the division, loses the playoff game because of his sorry-ass kicker who he didn't draft, and has only been here two seasons!

You cannot be serious with that

Had this been the case, I'd certainly acknowledge his prowess as a GM.

I would, however, still hate his goofy zipper mouth thing.

Also Foles put them in a position to win. Special teams let the kick return to the 48 and Swiss cheese d lost the game. Not Foles/DJax/McCoy/Maclin.

I really do not understand these moves. I'm trying, but I don't.

The coming back up is us winning out the last 6 meaningless games to draft 5 spots later, right?

I expected, as early as last July, that the Flyers wouldn't be a playoff team.

As such, I'm surprised how pissed off tonight made me. I was a bit apathetic after the losses to Boston & New Jersey, but as much as I felt they weren't a good team, I wanted to see them go down swinging.

If this is the best they can do, maybe Hextall should go scorched Earth this summer.

i still just dont understand how bradford, reading the chips simply as they are right now, carried more value than foles.
