Marcus Smith broke the sack record for the ACC. Just saying. 

That doesn't help me feel any better. 

 

[need2know]

How do you not take Allen there

 

[Long Ball Larry]

bucky brooks quite excited about it

 

[need2know]

They obviously were in love with Barnett and had higher on there board.  They know more than me  so I wlp give benefit of the doubt for now

 

[Thunderlips]

But you need a partner to dance with...

True.

 

[Billy Bats]

Gut feeling is Eagles go DE at 14. 

It tells me things. 

 

[GoBirds]

Just read a description of him as a "slower twitch Jerome McDougle when he came out" wtf.

 

[bushdocda]

focus on the Suggs comparison. 

 

[need2know]

Just don't get how they had Barnett over Allen.  I mean I could see having Barnett high but not that high.   I may have to take off my Alabama glasses but I don't see it

 

[Bigboy10182000]

How do you not take Allen there

Arthritic shoulder at 22 years old is no good. 

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Barnett's ceiling is solid but won't be a difference maker. But wtf do I know lol

 

[Thunderlips]

FWIW, Ray Diddy is in love with him and predicted they would take him.  Ray Diddy also loved Eric Rowe and Nelson Agholar though.

I hadn't heard that

 

[GoBirds]

Could be OK but would rather have gone CB with Humphrey I think. 

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Derek Barnett was the third best player overall in the draft according to Pro Football Focus. #Eagles

 

[GoBirds]

I hadn't heard that

NFL Network just had it on.

 

[Billy Bats]

So far 15 other teams decided not to take him anywhere either.

Who would have guessed that Marlon Humphrey would be the first Bama player taken in this draft?

 

[need2know]

Who would have guessed that Marlon Humphrey would be the first Bama player taken in this draft?

No one.  Starting to feel better about the Barnett pick.  Seems like solid logic.

Howie: “We did not have any scenarios that looked like what happened here.”

 

[Bigboy10182000]

I need to stick to my own advice and not listen to a single thing reported after the SB ends. How many "experts" had anything close to what we've seen tonight?

 

[Billy Bats]

So of course we get to compare Bennett and Allen forever.  

 

[Deamon]

ugh .

Mike Mamula says hi

 

[mquinnjr]

ugh .

 

[need2know]

I just thought the same thing. I'm sure he will love playing us after that

 

[Skoo]

Happens every single year and we all get sucked into it.

 

[Deamon]

calling him an A++++ Slam dunk pick for the red skins.

 

[need2know]

Mike Mamula says hi

Did Mike mamula break Reggie whites sack record?

 

[Gopher State]

Prior to the draft they where showing pictures of eagle fans  holding signs making fun of the Vikings for trading their  number one number pick for Bradford, after seeing the Eagles pick it looks like the Vikings got the last laught.

 

[GoBirds]

The next RG3

We really need Cornerbacks, surprised it wasn't Humphrey.

If that makes you feel better not seeing your team make a pick tonight while not having a good QB, then they sure did.  

 

[JuniorNB]

I'll feel better if they get Mixon in the 2nd. 

 

[modogg]

Nope. I would have taken a 5th for Bradford, so whatever we get in return was gravy. 

and Big props to the NFL and Eagles for putting King HS football players out there. That is a true Philly school, used to them going to the "nicer" schools and glad they went truly to a city school and let those kids out there. Good for them. I like how they talked about the merging of Germantown HS and King as a good thing, had to be record number of fights in that school the first year

 

[Deamon]

Ugh this doesn't feel good.  SOmeone convince me this is an amazing pick.  Please.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Ugh this doesn't feel good.  SOmeone convince me this is an amazing pick.  Please.

I'm not overjoyed but not bummed either. We needed a DE and he looks like he can play. I don't know what his ceiling is in the NFL. 

 

[need2know]

Dude broke Reggie whites college sack record!

Thank you Viking fan for checking in.

 

[need2know]

Ugh this doesn't feel good.  SOmeone convince me this is an amazing pick.  Please.

It's not as bad as picking a 27 year old fireman

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Joe Douglas comparing Barnett to #Ravens' Suggs: "both guys didn’t test outrageously at the Combine. But both are highly productive #Eagles

 

[babydemon90]

Need to get some of this much talked about CB talent now...

 

[Thunderlips]

I'm not overjoyed but not bummed either. We needed a DE and he looks like he can play. I don't know what his ceiling is in the NFL.

[Deamon]

Conley gone.  IDGAF anymore, give me mixon.

 

[need2know]

Eagles selected Tennessee DE Derek Barnett with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.
Barnett helps round out an already-solid Eagles line. Barnett (6’3/259) made 36 starts in three seasons as a Vol, tallying 52 tackles for loss and breaking Reggie White’s school record for sacks (33). He earned first-team All-America honors in 2016. As Barnett won’t turn 21 until June, his incredible production came at ages 18-20 in the SEC. PFF College gave Barnett a higher pass-rush rating than Myles Garrett last season. While Barnett lacks a dynamic get-off, his insatiable and relentless motor, edge bend, ability to hand fight and win with power, and bone-crunching takedown skills give Barnett a high floor as a three-down defender. NFL Films’ Greg Cosell has compared Barnett to Vikings DE Everson Griffen. Apr 27 - 9:52 PM

 

[need2know]

IDK.  Gotta be Cb or cook next pick for me

 

[renesauz]

Wasn't a sexy pick but doesn't feel like a bad one either.

 

[Skoo]

PFF College gave Barnett a higher pass-rush rating than Myles Garrett last season. 

Can't be sad about that.

 

[Deamon]

mixon mixon mixon

 

[need2know]

Man if Barnett is close to everson Griffen give me that

 

[need2know]

mixon mixon mixon

You like mixon that much?  Would be happy with him or cook
