Here Are Some BIG Names the Eagles Could Draft on Day 2!


Our much anticipated gloating directed towards the Dallas crowd on the NFL Draft stage had to wait a day as the Eagles traded back from pick 32, to 52. Here are some names you could see David Akers (still upset about this) call on Day 2!

 

…Yeah, I don’t have any names. I just wanted everyone to click on this to remind them that we won the Super Bowl.

Look, last year I was so bummed when we took Derek Barnett over Reuben Foster. Depending on his court case, Foster may never play again. A few years ago, I did all my homework on 2nd round talent. All of my YouTube research told me that we should pick Eric Rowe. When we did take Rowe, I was ecstatic. How often does it work out where the team actually takes the guy you want?! Fast forward a few years and Eric Rowe getting the start over Malcolm Butler in the Super Bowl was one of the huge keys to our victory.

The draft is a crapshoot, San Hinkie was the one to admit it. Sometimes you get Jason Kelce in the 6th round and he becomes a folk hero in your city. Sometimes, you draft Jaiquawn Jarrett in the 2nd round.

If I had to choose a guy we should be salivating over as “the next best thing” at pick 52, based off my college football fandom, let’s go with Nick Chubb or Mike Gesicki. I have not stats to back that up, I’m still on Super Bowl vacation.

Go Birds.
