Bacon, Eggs and Eagles – Final Day of 2015 NFL Draft is here!
There’s just one day remaining in the 2015 NFL Draft and the Philadelphia Eagles are set to make four picks throughout the day. That will likely change due to some trades and whatnot but there is still quite a bit of talent left on the board. Head coach Chip Kelly has clearly focused on drafting versatile, athletic players that can line-up in multiple positions with his first three selections. Nelson Agholor, Eric Rowe and Jordan Hicks are all high character players as well, which is something Kelly also covets. So what do people think of the Eagles’ first three picks and who should they target on day three? All that and more in this morning’s serving of Bacon, Eggs and Eagles!
2015 NFL Draft: Best Available Players for Day 3 – Mike Kaye of BleedingGreenNation.com
"With two days down and just one to go, the Eagles are looking to add to their draft haul. The Eagles still have several needs including offensive guard, cornerback and offensive tackle and the team could look to address others positions as well. Philadelphia will have the following four selections on Day 3: 113th, 191st, 196th and 237th.Below are the best remaining players at each position that would fit the Eagles offense and defense. Among them are Brett Hundley, Jay Ajayi, Tre McBride and T.J. Clemmings, who made it past the first three rounds of the draft."
Day 2 Review – Tommy Lawlor of IgglesBlitz.com
"If you want to look at things simplistically, the Eagles are better on offense and defense, and still have more picks left. There are still needs to address, but the Eagles won’t handle them all. No team ever really does. The key to having a good draft is acquiring talent. So far the Eagles have done a terrific job of that."
How do the Eagles’ first three draft picks fit in on the depth chart? – Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com
"The three newest Eagles are USC wide receiver Nelson Agholor, Utah cornerback/safety Eric Rowe, and Texas inside linebacker Jordan Hicks. Let’s take a look at where each new guy will fit in on the depth chart:"
Adrian Amos Should Be Philadelphia Eagles’ Top Target on Day 3 of 2015 NFL Draft – Cody Swartz of BleacherReport.com
"Chip Kelly and the Philadelphia Eagles will enter the final day of the 2015 NFL draft with four draft picks—a fourth-rounder, two sixth-rounders and a seventh-round selection. While it may be tempting to take a flier on an intriguing quarterback prospect like Brett Hundley or Bryce Petty, Penn State safety Adrian Amos should be the team’s top target."
Chip Kelly building culture through the draft – Phil Sheridan of ESPN.com
"A pattern is emerging as Chip Kelly runs his first NFL draft. The Philadelphia Eagles coach was involved in the past two drafts, but general manager Howie Roseman had final say on the team’s decisions.Kelly has final say now because owner Jeff Lurie thought that would be the best way for the Eagles’ personnel department to serve Kelly’s vision for building the team."
With the Eagles drafting cornerback Eric Rowe in the second round, who could possibly play safety as well, he has already drawn comparisons to former Eagles’ great Brian Dawkins. But “Weapon X” was quick to shoot down the idea and said Rowe should be his own person.
