Eagle Eye Focus: Draft Recap

Eagles Draft Round up

Well the draft has arrived. T-23 hours when writing this until draft time. Unlike last year there are still many questions about where prospects are going to end up and all these rumors flying around about where they are going, potential trades, and quite frankly I am getting tired of it. Hopefully the NFL will return to the draft being in April next year. Its OK though because we are here. As for the Eagles, many rumors are flying and one is that the Eagles are seriously trying to get up to get one of the big time receivers. Odell Beckham Jr. is on the top of the list for the Eagles as we know now, but if you look into this deeper.....they could be going for Sammy Watkins or Mike Evans. Roseman would have to break the bank to get one of them since you would have to get into the top ten. However if they feel they could make the offense that much better, I would love to see Watkins in mid night green. A few potential trade suitors the Eagles could trade with are at fifth overall the Oakland Raiders, second overall St. Louis Rams, eleventh Tennessee Titans, and the seventeenth Baltimore Ravens. If the Eagles traded with the Titans or Ravens, I expect Cooks or Beckham Jr., but if it is the Raiders or Rams, it is Mike Evans or Sammy Watkins. Defense is still an option if they stay at 22, but I think even at 22, Marqise Lee is their guy. Well the NFL Draft is among us, I felt obligated to give my last write up before we dive into some NFL action once again. Go Birds!

Eagles targeting LSU Wide Receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

The Eagles are in full throttle for their draft coming up this Thursday, and they have hit the headlines this week with the report that Howie Roseman and the Eagles are talking with mid round teams to potentially move up for the speedy, versatile receiver in Odell Beckham Jr. who by the way is not only being touted by the Eagles. The San Francisco 49ers are also in hot pursuit of the receiver which to me is the more reasonable destination as the Eagles only hold 6 picks in this years draft. I would be perfectly fine if the Eagles stay put and settle for Marqise Lee or Kelvin Benjamin. I don't wanna break the bank on someone unless they truly believe he can be such a difference maker. If the Eagles could land Beckham Jr. it could add to this explosive offense that already features Lesean McCoy, Darren Sproles, Jeremy Maclin, Ertz, Cooper, etc the list goes on which is why it would be so much fun if Chip Kelly got another toy in this incredible toy box. I will keep Eagles Nation posted as more reports and rumors about the Eagles draft come out.
