What do we have left for d tackles?  I actually thought that Jenkins was one of the bright spots on defense last year. So, we have Cox, Dixon, and who else thats worth a shut?  What's available in FA?

You must have missed the news.

Ugh.  Pay attention.

Yea guys I know we cut Jenkins and Patterson.  I'm just wondering what chip has in store for us at DT

[iluvdaeagles]

cutting 2 aging expensive DT's doenst mean we are using the 4th pick on a DT

Well to answer the thread title, is there any doubt the Eagles will be taking "Star L," in the first? I'd have to say, yes.

I missed that.  My bad. That sux. Is there any DT's worth a **** in free agency??

[greenpassion]

still have cox, thorton, that guy that wore 94, dixon. you can be assured they will bring in some mid-late rd DTs or FA

i would like to see them grab a guy later in the draft, a big 325lb range. that NT position is gonna be a dirty job gonna need somebody thats hungry and just willing to do whatever we ask of him hes gonna basically take on blockers and double teams all game. you dont really wanna spend a high draft pick on a position like that just need a hollis thomas type guy

right, i did hear that dont know why i can never remember his name either

[metalhead0043]

Yeah I see no reason to bring Liandri back. He played pretty good for a rotational guy in 2011 but seemed to be a non-factor last year.

As far as Star L. goes, if it's a severe condition then no thanks. It's an unfortunate situation for him, but one that could potentially save his life too.

There's Sharrif Floyd.(draft) He could possibly be a fit.

dont like. i never like these guys who jump all the way up at the last minute. plus i watched a good amount of oregon football this year and this dude never stood out that i can remember

the pick is the warmaster. im telling you if we dont get this guy we are gonna regret this for the next 20 years. anybody saying 4 is too high for him just because he plays gaurd is silly.

you mean to tell me a larry allen type of lineman isnt worth a 4? and believe me that comparison is not a stretch thats about as legit as can be

the consensus is chance is the best player in the draft but because he plays gaurd he cant be a top 5 pick

[Jordan629]

Sharrif Floyd is definitely another great option.

Really hope Star's medical stuff works out once they know more. No idea how seriously it is. He'd be a fantastic pick at #4.

Not important.

It is just noise that comes out concerning all the draft picks at this time.

[Sack that QB]

They'll take the BPA. They have a ton of needs and they could just wait until another time to get that franchise NT.

Jordan has been considered a top 10 pick since before the start of the season.  His rise from the perception of top 10 to top 5 now has more to do with the other players having so many problems.  Geno Smith is a mediocre QB prospect, Star has a heart problem, Jones has a spinal problem, Moore is a mediocre athlete... Jordan is the one guy who is as advertised.

As far as him not standing out - you have to understand how he was used.  He wasn't a traditional DE or LB.  He was used in coverage a lot.  Like, literally, lining up in the slot against WRs.  At 6'6" 240 pounds...  In the age of huge athletic TEs, having a guy like Jordan couldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Oh, and as for Warmack... no thanks.  He's no Shawn Andrews.  He's not that type of talent.  That's the problem - he's not a dancing bear, he's huge man, but he doesn't move well.  In fact, I'd take Cooper over Warmack straight up.  Much more athletic.

[Matt101292]

No shariff floyd is te est option

[eagleeyejk]

insert name at 4, there are doubts. That's the bad news. The good news is there's probably around 7 players that could be really good picks there down the road.

If you like 6-3, 297 lb nts or DEs with short arms in your 4-3 under or 3-4.

Yeah, Jordan is a freak. He's raw, but he's got unlimited potential. If we go defense at 4 I'd either take him or Floyd. Jordan's potential might be too much to pass up. But if anyone would know his game and how hard he's willing to work it'd be Chip.

i think you need to re-evaluate your assesment of warmack because you have that all wrong. andrews was nowhere near as good as warmack and lol at him not having the athletics

[jwill2420]

They are not drafting Star after the heart trouble news. And the main reason we don't draft DT in the first round is because we are switching to 3-4 so Cox and Dixon are fine.

[PKuz]

i hope we keep trent cole with all these moves being made. iv been seeing it all over TATE, talk of cole being traded...eagles always had a dominant dline...besides last year...if trent cole is gone im pretty shook about what the line will look like in 2013...and i do hope we pick up a dlineman if that is the case...im thinking damontre moore...or bjoern werner (IMO)...both solid de's and moore can also play as a lb if we use a hybrid system which we currently are

Right, they could go OT and draft a wide body to plug the center of the line in the later rounds.  It all depends on what you expect from your NT.
