*Official 2016 Philadelphia Eagles* - The year of Change (2 Viewers)

Seumalo: "As a competitor and player, I want to come in and play right away. At the same time, I want to learn from the best." #Eagles.

Isaac Seumalo said "I feel great" about playing guard for #Eagles. Said he can play outside at tackle in a pinch.

@lawlornfl Eagles got serious about upgrading interior OL. Signed Brandon Brooks to mega-deal. Added Stefen Wisniewski. Drafted Isaac Seumalo in 3rd.

Would have liked a trade back, might have still got him. Overall that's good though. What now in the 4th? Cb? Rb? Wr? More OL?

Doug Pederson: Isaac Seumalo can compete for starting LG spot. Will vie with Barbre, Gardner, Tobin, Bunch.

While I love the Oregon State pick, now that I look more at it, I'm wondering why we didn't take Le'Raven Clark.  He was projected round 1 or 2 in his scouting report, while Seumalo was round 4 or 5... and he was right there for us to grab.  Christian Westerman was looking like a lock to go in the 3rd today too so maybe he slipped for a reason but he looked pretty good as well.

I was wondering the same thing. The scouting report on Semualo is encouraging, but he still seems like a bit of a reach given who else was still available. Perhaps they place more value on his overall versatility. (Howie may have learned something from Chip after all.)

I just throw that out the window when the later rounds start. If you watched both the 2nd and 3rd rounds this seems to be the case with a lot of the teams picking.  You need to be able to uncover potential gems and I think we may have here. 

 
While I might've preferred an OT, for the hopeful Peters replacement next year. I am just happy that we are reinvesting in our o-line

ANALYSIS



STRENGTHS


Hits the crease with proper pad level and can spin off of initial tackle attempt on his way to additional yardage. Attacks his foes with lead shoulder at the end of the run for an aggressive finish. Runs a disciplined track as zone runner using solid vision and steady tempo. One of the sharpest players on the offense. Scans and spots blitzers on the creep and steps over to meet them as a blocker. Possesses exceptional hands as an option out of the backfield.


WEAKNESSES


Can use more beef on his frame to handle the rigors of the NFL. Monotone runner who tends to keep his runs at one speed. Not flashy or particularly creative as a runner. Gets what is blocked and is more of a physical finisher than tackle breaker. Has an extended gear down on outside zone to hit downhill cuts. Average athleticism and lacks the sudden jump cut.


BOTTOM LINE


Smallwood changed West Virginia from an "Air Raid" offense to a "ground and pound" attack. Smallwood's tape features few, true flash plays, but the quality runs seem to stack up one after another. His intelligence in pass pro and ability to catch the ball out of the backfield give him an immediate shot as a third-down back, but his combine could determine whether he hears his name on Day 3 of the draft or not.

 
@lawlnfl Wendell Smallwood is a solid pick. Impressed me on game tape and also at the Combine. Not huge, but tough and productive.

Delaware charges dropped against WVU’s Smallwood

WVU running back Wendell Smallwood, who was extradited to Delaware and accused of witness intimidation in a murder case, saw the charges dropped Tuesday.



By Allan Taylor in WVU Sports

July 29, 2014 at 3:41PM

WILMINGTON, Del. — The Delaware attorney general’s office has dropped its witness intimidation charges against Wendell Smallwood, hours after an acquaintance of the West Virginia running back pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.

Smallwood was arrested in Morgantown earlier this month and extradited to his hometown of Wilmington, where police alleged he attempted to persuade a murder witness to recant her statement tying Zakee Lloyd to the 2012 shooting death of Wilmington resident, Manuel Oliveras, 51.

Lloyd, 22, admitted to the killing on Tuesday morning before the start of jury selection, and prosecutors said Smallwood’s cooperation was pivotal to the conviction.

Jason Miller, spokesman for the Delaware Department of Justice, issued the following statement:

“Since his arrest, Wendell Smallwood has been fully cooperative with the Department of Justice and Wilmington Police Department including giving a full statement regarding his involvement in witness intimidation. He was fully prepared to testify truthfully in the upcoming trial, and his cooperation was instrumental to the State in securing today’s conviction of Zakee Lloyd.

“There is no evidence of Smallwood’s involvement in the murder of Manuel Oliveras.  Moreover, despite the recorded phone call between Smallwood and Lloyd, there is no evidence that it resulted in a threat being conveyed to that witness.  In consideration of all of the facts and circumstances, including Smallwood’s full cooperation with authorities and the conviction of Zakee Lloyd, the State today entered a nolle prosequi on the witness intimidation charge against Wendell Smallwood.”

During Big 12 media days last week, West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen, who has been mostly silent on the arrest, declined to answer any questions about Smallwood’s capacity to practice with the team while he was out on $40,000 bail. The coach continues to refer to his July 20 school-issued statement, in which he said WVU will “continue to monitor the situation.”

Holgorsen seemingly left the door cracked for Smallwood’s return, considering the player’s name remained on the roster as of Tuesday.

Smallwood is expected to be back for the start of fall camp on Thursday, but it remains to be seen whether Holgorsen will impose a suspension.

Wilmington police claimed that during March and May 2013—when Smallwood was a spring semester early enrollee at WVU—the player made multiple calls to a state witness attempting to persuade her to recant her statements implicating Lloyd in the death of Oliveras.

Vaitai, who is 6-foot-6 and 320 pounds, was mentioned by Mayock last week as a possible 3rd-rounder for Eagles. Get him in the 5th.
