Yeah, my bad. Not a huge need, but just think he'll be a beast in the redzone. Ertz will be solid in that area as well.

Gaines was a combine all star, but on the field production has me wondering. Fas as @#$! though as a 4.38. If we go CB here want better size like McGill or Jean Baptiste

Saw we moved up to 42. If it's for Mathews very happy with that.
Latimer also great target.
Big WR either way...

@AlbertBreer: Eagles gave up a 4 (122nd overall) to go from 54th overall to 42nd overall.
That's not bad at all for such a big jump. Got the 3rd for a much smaller move down.

Good question......Lattimer more upside but Mathews ready to contribute now is that the read?

Jordan Mathews is fine by me...I prefer Latimer, and Adams, but if they like him all the better!
6'3" 212, 4.46 are great measurables!
Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt
Height: 6-3. Weight: 212.
40 Time: 4.46.
Projected Round (2012): 2-3.
5/6/14: Matthews collected 112 receptions for 1,477 yards with seven touchdowns in 2013. He had a clutch performance in a tight season opener against Ole Miss, snagging 10 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown. Matthews' score came from midfield as he took a quick swing pass the distance. The senior looked very good with his route running and moving the chains in the intermediate part of the field.
Matthews needed to run well at the Combine and turned in a faster than expected 40. Sources have said that Matthews is like Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams as a great college receiver lacking enough speed to go in the first round, but Matthews' Combine should clinch a second-day spot for him.
8/3/13: Matthews was excellent for the Commodores in 2012. He contributed to Vanderbilt almost upsetting South Carolina in the season opener. Matthews showed nice quickness with a 78-yard touchdown. He totaled eight receptions for 148 yards against the Gamecocks.
Matthews had 119 yards on eight receptions against Georgia. He also played well versus Florida with eight catches for 131 yards and a score. The junior finished the regular season strongly, going over 100 yards against Ole Miss, Tennessee and Missouri. Matthews recorded 94 receptions for 1,323 yards and eight touchdowns for the year. He totaled 41 receptions for 778 yards and five touchdowns in 2011.
Matthews has been well coached. He is a good route-runner with excellent hands. Scouts have told WalterFootball.com that entering the season they view Matthews as a second-day prospect for the 2014 NFL Draft. They feel he lacks the speed and explosiveness to be a first-rounder.
Personal: Son of Roderick and Brenda Matthews. Jordan Matthews does a lot of charity work. Matthews is the cousin of Jerry Rice.

@ZBerm: Matthews played against top CBs and without elite QBs, and put up big numbers. Gives Eagles another big-bodied WR. Chip will be down soon.

I agree, sounds like a good kid as well as a great player. All time SEC leader, had no idea.

Big, fast, hard working and produced against top CBs without much help on offense.
Not my personal favorite WR available, but impossible to fault the pick. Needed a WR, and he will do well in this offense!
Attacking needs rounds 1,2 for sure. Two thirds to come.

@GeoffMosherCSN: Why trade up? Chip: "We had 2 guys we were targeting (in second round) and one went." I'll go ahead and guess other guy was Marqise Lee.

They asked Chip who the other guy was and if it was Lee, he said he wasn't going to say but it isn't hard to figure out.
ya i dont think we needed to trade up to get him though but not worththat risk. wr's are dropping now... give us another one! haha

MATHEWS Pick Analysis: "He'll fit in beautifully in Philadelphia and in Chip Kelly's offense. He makes tough catches. He has a big body. He ran faster than a lot of people anticipated (4.46-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine). The Eagles get Jeremy Maclin back. They have added Matthews and Darren Sproles. This team is going to be the first-, second- or third-leading scoring team in the league." -- Mike Mayock
seems they wouldnt' take a 4th though... they took a guy who 100% woulda been there at 22 there was no risk for miami to trade us for a 4th

Mclane: Just had conference call with Jordan Matthews. Sounds like an impressive young man. Seemed to already have a grasp on Chip's offense.

@EliotShorrParks: Matthews said that Vanderbilt studied four games of #Eagles offense last year. Says he is already very familiar with it.
