Best Draft Choices for the Philadelphia Eagles

Chip Kelly Is Revolutionizing the Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are probably the hottest team right now because of what Chip Kelly has done as the coach and general manager of the team. They just traded LeSean McCoy to the Bills, arguably the best running back in the game, for an ex-Oregon Duck. Also, the Eagles have parted ways with a couple of other players aw well. Kelly also has plans to sign Byron Maxwell, a cornerback from Seattle, and Frank Gore, the running back from San Francisco. They are definitely making the biggest splash so far. Chip kelly is taking a big gamble, but her wants to win a championship, and he needs to beat the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East, who were clearly the front-runners last year after making the playoffs. They own the 20th overall pick in the draft. Kelly reportedly has a lot of interest in Marcus Mariota, and will look for a trade to the 2nd-5th overall pick because the Jets need a quarterback. Also, the Eagles must fill up their depth chart with defensive backs, because they have literally one or two players right now on their roster for that position. Last but not least, they might need a wide receiver if they do not retain Jeremy Maclin. 

Here are the top draft prospects for the Philadelphia Eagles. As you will see, they have many options compared to other teams in the draft:
  1. Marcus Mariota - Quarterback - Oregon
  2. Landon Collins - Strong Safety - Alabama
  3. Trae Waynes - Cornerback - Michigan State
  4. Jalen Collins - Cornerback - LSU
  5. Marcus Peters - Cornerback - Washington
  6. Byron Jones - Cornerback - Connecticut
  7. Kevin Johnson - Cornerback - Wake Forest
  8. DeVante Parker - Wide Receiver - Louisville
  9. Jaelen Strong - Wide Receiver - Arizona State

Why the Patriots Won Super Bowl 51

Pats Win Over Falcons 34-28 in OT It was a tale of two halves. In the first half, the Patriots could not get anything going on the offensive side of the ball. In the second half, the Falcons could not get anything going. Belichick and Brady pulled off some more magic and won their fifth Super Bowl together. In the second half, it seemed as though the game was getting away from the Atlanta Falcons, and their youth caught up to them. I believe that this game should have definitely been won by the Falcons, but the game slipped away from them. There are many reasons to explain what happened, including the fact that the Falcons did not run the football to milk down the clock in the second half, they turned the ball over when it was not necessary, they did not play as tough and physical on defense and seemed gassed, and even just because Tom Brady and the rest of his offense played a hell of a game. In my opinion, though, the real reason why the Patriots won, is because of t...

Week 14 Power Rankings

Cowboys on a Roll, Panthers Drop Not many people expected the Dallas Cowboys to top the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football during Week 13. The Saints came into the game winning ten straight, while the Cowboys were a "mediocre" team in the midst of a three-game winning streak. The Cowboys won 13-10 and will rise in the week's rankings. In other important games, the Chicago Bears lost a shocker to the New York Giants, Lamar Jackson won his third straight game for the Baltimore Ravens against the Atlanta Falcons, the Houston Texans won their ninth straight game, and the Los Angeles Chargers won a close one against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Carolina Panthers are quickly fading in the wild-card race, and have lost four straight games. Here are my rankings heading into Week 14: Los Angeles Rams (11-1) Kansas City Chiefs (10-2) New Orleans Saints (10-2) Los Angeles Chargers (9-3) New England Patriots (9-3) Houston Texans (9-3) Pittsburgh Steelers (...

Week 7 Power Rankings

Chiefs Suffer First Loss; Ravens Shut Out Titans The New England Patriots were able to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs by three points at home, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers came back to avoid an upset to the 49ers, the Steelers defeated the Bengals, and the Dolphins took down the Bears at the end of overtime. There were some unexpected wins and losses, as well as some close games, in Week 6. The Dallas Cowboys blew out the Jacksonville Jaguars and their top-notch defense, 40-7. It is been hard to figure out which teams are "contenders" and which are "pretenders" this season. It is especially difficult to rank the middle of the pack teams. Here are my power rankings heading into Week 7: Los Angeles Rams (6-0) New Orleans Saints (4-1) Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) New England Patriots (4-2) Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2-1) Minnesota Vikings (3-2-1) Baltimore Ravens (4-2) Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) Carolina Panthers (3-2) Green Bay P...
