The 2015 NFL Draft is just 4 days away and it’s time for all the rumors and hot takes to reach their boiling points. Especially for the Philadelphia Eagles, given their rumored interest in Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota. It’s clear head coach Chip Kelly would love to bring him to the City of Brotherly Love but it’ll take a ton of work to actually get done. Of course there’s more buzz surrounding the recent signing of quarterback Tim Tebow and what that will mean moving forward. Let’s not forget draft talk as well, all that and more in this morning’s serving of Bacon, Eggs and Eagles!

Draft Snippets, Tebow Reax And More – Dave Spadaro of PhiladelphiaEagles.com

"The final week is here prior to the 2015 NFL Draft and the Eagles have work to do: Finalize the board, set up the draft room and complete every draft-weekend scenario with the 31 other teams. There is a lot of work to do.I’ve got some thoughts on the draft, on the 2015 Eagles schedule and what’s happening around the NovaCare Complex as the team moves into its second week of the offseason program, Phase 1 …Nobody has a handle on the Eagles at No. 20. There are still some who have the sense that the Eagles are going to make a dramatic move up into the top 5-6 picks, despite the many statements from head coach Chip Kelly and vice president of player personnel Ed Marynowitz that the Eagles want more picks, not fewer, than the eight they currently have or that the Eagles won’t “mortgage the future” to move up. Whatever. The pre-draft winds continue to blow…"

Marcus Mariota to the Eagles rumors won’t end until it happens – Mark Eckel of NJ.com

"As he is walking off the field after leading [insert team here] to an NFL championship in Super Bowl LII, Marcus Mariota will be asked if he’s going to Philadelphia, not Disney World.If the Eagles can’t swing a deal to move up in the first round of the draft on April 30 and select the Oregon quarterback — and know that Chip Kelly is going to swing harder than anyone on the Phillies — the rumors of him becoming an Eagle should stop.But they won’t."

Philadelphia Eagles: Ideal 7-Round Mock Draft – Cody Swartz of BleacherReport.com

"Not even one week remains until the 2015 NFL draft, and you can bet Chip Kelly won’t go down without a fight in his quest to get Marcus Mariota.It’s been an interesting offseason for the Philadelphia Eagles, and it doesn’t seem like a coincidence that their third-year head coach was just recently given full control over all player personnel decisions just as his college quarterback is hitting the draft. Kelly has a backup plan in quarterback Sam Bradford, a former Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall pick who has the physical tools to succeed."

Mark Sanchez Comments on Tim Tebow’s Status with Eagles – Mike Chiari of BleacherReport.com

"The Philadelphia Eagles’ surprising signing of Tim Tebow seemingly muddled the team’s quarterback situation, but Mark Sanchez isn’t concerned about his standing.According to CSNPhilly.com, the expected backup to Sam Bradford revealed he was told Tebow was signed to have an extra arm in training camp while Bradford continues to work his way back from a torn ACL."

WFAN’s Mike Francesa cites source who says Eagles could end up with Marcus Mariota and Johnny Manziel – Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com

"ursday afternoon, speaking on his radio show on WFAN, Mike Francesa cited a source saying the Eagles could be involved in a three-way trade with the Browns and a team at the top of the draft that would net them Marcus Mariota and Johnny Manziel."

It was bound to happen but it looks like the first ever Tim Tebow Eagles’ jersey was spotted prior to the Philadelphia Phillies game yesterday. This guy is either crazy or knows something that we don’t know, either way, salute to this guy!
