2011 NFL Draft Discussion Thread (Day Three)

Eagles next pick is Brian Rolle Lineback from Ohio State

 

yeah, by taking a bunch of undersized guys, Kelce is only 280 with little to no growth potential. Vandervelde and Kelce are to freaking small to be staples on the Oline.

Here's Kelce's writeup on NFL.com, it sums it up nicely...

National Football League: NFL Draft 2011 - Jason Kelce

Kelce has the mobility and mentality to make it as a reserve center in the NFL. However, does not have the size or power to project as a starter. In pass protection, does a good job getting set, can slide and feet and move laterally but struggles with the pull rush and pass rushers with a wide array of moves.

 

Here's more, now we are drafting backups who are better suited to play in a zone system. WOW

National Football League: NFL Draft 2011 - Jason Kelce

Has the feet and quickness to project well in a zone blocking scheme but still needs to become more consistent locating his man on the second level. Is never goiWOWng to be a road-grading run blocker who blows defenders off the ball. Late-rounder or rookie free agent.

 

Yay another backup/special teams player, too small to play LB and not athletic enough to play safety. WOO hoo, the title of the Eagles 2011 draft should be undersized backups. Almost every pick is undersized. What are they thinking?

 

I would rather have had Keith Williams than Vandervelde.

 

I love taking players from small skools Ive never heard of. Especially when there are better players on the board

 

Packers take Small DE Ricky Elmore

 

Giants take Tyler Sash.....me like.

Adding more depth to the secondary.

 

Are you talking about Dwayne Harris? That kid is a beast and I love his play. Great pick.

 

Another good pick.

 

As much as I hate to say it, I think the Giants may have had the best draft of anyone.

 

I want Virgil Green with our next comp pick......

 

No, I love the Harris and Thomas picks

Im talking about Arkin with Bolling and Cannon their

 

chiefs take Jerrell Powe, ktrain hopes for Devine.

 

Them or Cleveland

 

Gabe Watson part II

 

Yeah, that's a head scratcher, hell the whole Eagles draft has been a head scratcher. So many undersized guys all over the place and backups when starters are there. A lot of blind loyalists will just accept this crap, I only think the Eagles have one better than average pick and that's a kicker. ouch!

 

Give me Blain Sumner and Kai Forbaith in the 7th!

 

Virgil Green is there for the taking Jerry!

 

If they wanted undersized, they could have taken Homan, at least he has speed and could develop into a starter on the weak side. Rolle is a ST player and backup only.
