As I mentioned in my earlier post, Samuel and Brown are both pretty young now. If you're gonna draft a corner for depth and grooming, you don't do it in the first round.
Jenkins would be about 25 by the time he has a chance to start if he's lucky (I've not idea how long Sheldon Browns contract last for). 4 years is alot of time and money to go to waste.
First off, he would play right away in nickel and with the spread offense so rampant, he would get plenty of playing time. The Eagles had 2 pro bowl corners when they used their first 3 picks in the first 2 rounds of the 2002 draft to take Lito Shepard, Sheldon Brown, and Michael Lewis in 2002 Vincent was 30, Taylor was 28 at the time. Lito is 27 and Sheldon is 28, does that look like a similar situation to you. Both Brown and Sheppard were starting in 1 season, not 4. The Eagles value DB's extremely high and I would like them to take Phillips at 19, but CB is far from out of the question
Yes, the spread offense is becoming more used, but not a whole lot of teams that the Eagles face regurlary use it. I never realised Brown was so old. I still don't think that they'll take a CB in the first round. Phillips may be a good pick though.
teams the Eagles face may not be the ones that employ it the most, but the Eagles play a ton of nickel defense regardless. like I said we had 2 pro bowl corners when we draft Brown and Sheppard and they were both starting in a year.
PHILLIPS IS DEFINITELY A POSSIBILITY AS WELL FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD, I THINK THAT IS A LITTLE HIGH FOR HIM THOUGH. HARD TO SAY. SEEMS LIKE THEY HAVE SHOWN THE MOST INTEREST IN FLACCO. I'D PREFER BROHM MYSELF.
AT BEST I THINK WE CAN HOPE FOR ONLY 1 OOUT OF THOSE TWO OR HENNE BEING AVAILABLE TO US IN THE 2ND. I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED TO SEE THEM ALL GONE THOUGH. I CAN'T SEE JA TRADIN UP EITHER SO IT WILL PROBABLY BE A MIND ROUNDER FOR US LIKE ANDRE WOODSON OR JOSH JOHNSON.
