If Roseman and Reid are still here , this will be the only number one we all see .  

[NocturnalPoisoning]

#2 pick would be awesome. The Chiefs will reach for Geno Smith and then we would have our pick of any player in the draft. I really hope they don't reach for a QB. Teams like Jacksonville, Tennessee and to a lesser degree Minnesota are regretting it just a few years later.

we need a lot of new bodies on this team.  we should trade down if we have the #2 pick and accumulate

I agree totally, take a good OL with 1st pick we get back in the trade and then some safties and CBs in the 2nd or 3rd rounds and a couple LBers in the 4th round.

it would be nice to get the #1 pick, i think geno smith can develope into something.plus with the 1st round pick contracts lowered its not a bad gamble.

Thats because you are stupid. Seriously tho, we dont need a new OL. Esp is scott sticks around.

I have no words.  Sarcasm right?

[GroundAttack]

Peters, Kelce, and Herremans are all expected to be back next year. I'd avoid an OT to with the first pick but if the best avaliable is an OT, then be it.

Honestly didn't see Chiefs winning today

[MCoster]

Its gonna be hard to pass kc or jax. They might end up winning one more but so could we. Tb cincy and wash are all beatable. Oakland will be tough too. Their sos is even worse than ours so they have the tiebreaker over us.

[jj42883]

#1 pick is out of the question now...there's no way Jax & KC (each 2-12) both win their two remaining games.  BUT there are three teams currently tied at 4-10 for the #3 pick.  On current SOS it would be Raiders 3, Eagles 4, Lions 5.  I'm not sure if the SOS's can change enough in the last two weeks to alter that order if still tied at 4-12, but Oakland plays Carolina next week and San Diego after that, both 5-9 teams.

So if the eagles lose the last two, it's very likely the eagles will get the #4 pick, possibly even the #3 pick.  If we win another game, we could drop to anywhere from 5-10, and if we win both, it could put us in the low teens.

Even if those 3 return, what guarantees that all 3 will return to form immediately or not get injured again? Joeckel should be strongly considered for the Eagles top 5 pick if he is on the board. Plus drafting Joeckel would guarantee that Watkins wouldn't be a starter.

LT: Peters
LG: Herremans
C: Kelce
RG: Mathis
RT: Joeckel

Peters, Herremans, and Mathis are getting older so it wouldn't be a bad idea to draft a guard or two as well later on in the draft in addition.

I think if L.Joeckel is available, you take him.  Finding a LT outside the top-10 is a really dicey proposition, and as much as I'd like Star - it is a deep DT class.

My decision tree for the first pick is something like this right now:

1A) L.Joeckel OT
1B) S.Lotulelei DT
2) Tradeback
3) J.Jones DE (but a SAM in a 4-3)

[hukdonfoniks]

Drafting Lotulelei would make a lot of sense:  gives us a bit of flexibility with Jenkins and gives us some insurance for when he's gone, makes our entire defensive line look that much better, and we can go with some legit 3-4 looks if we want to mix things up.

This year has "trade down" written all over it.  We need multiple picks and another successful draft to start the rebuild.

Oh God no...please not another year of Nat Allen, Daniel Te’o-Nesheim, Trevard Lindley, Keenan Clayton, Mike Kafta, and Ricky Sapp. Doi!

Totally agree I am glad others are seeing it this way. We need to build the oline for the future this year proves what happens when you rely heavily on your starters. I want a stout brick wall of an oline give floes at least five seconds or more!

100% on board with 1A & 1B.

Ideally, any trade back would have to fairly small (i.e. to remain in Top 8/10), and involve either another 2013 Top 40 pick, or a 2014 R1 pick.

Not a fan of drafting Jones in R1 - he has a potentially career-shortening medical condition (spinal stenosis). Also, is he really big enough to be an NFL DE? And if you want a 4-3 SAM, why not Te'o?

I agree Jones shouldn't be a 4-3 DE, too small and more likely to agravate his neck issues.

I think drafting a conventional 4-3 SAM in the top-5 is silly - but if you were going to scheme the SAM to play like Von Miller (4-3 Under), you want Jones not T'eo.
