Eagles Day Three Draft Roundup

They had 10 picks in Day 4 and here is some info on the players they selected

Round 4 Pick 105-Trevor Lindley CB Kentucky- He is a player that plays with confidence and can become a play maker with the Eagles but does lack top end speed.

Round 4 Pick 121 Keenan Clayton LB Oklahoma- He is a converted SAM linebacker after playing at safety.

Round 4 Pick 122 Mike Kafka QB Northwestern- Kafka does not possess the strongest arm and he will be looking to make the transition from a spread shotgun offense to a pro style scheme and he is very mobile. He will be project and a potential backup to Kevin Kolb

Round 4 Pick 125 Clay Harbor TE Missouri State- Harbor is from a small school so there are some questions about the teams he has faced. Harbor has good hands and will probably be used as a pass catching TE to help out Brent Celek they also have last year's draft pick from Florida Cornelius Ingram.

Round 5 Pick 134 Ricky Sapp DE Clemson- could be one of the biggest steals of the NFL Draft as he was suppose to go in round 2-3 but a knee injury dropped him the draft. Sapp is athletic and quick. Sapp needs so refining but has an huge upside.

Round 5 Pick 159 Riley Cooper WR Florida- I think he is the steal of the Eagles draft. He is an tall WR as he is 6'3. Cooper has great hands and will be an weapon in the red zone. The Eagles have not used the fade route in the end zone but with Riley Cooper now in the mix they should use it more often.

Round 6 Pick 200 Charles Scott RB LSU- Scott is a big bruising back that can move the pile. He does catch the ball out of the backfield and has good hands. Scott could be the short yardage back the Eagles have been looking for.

Round 7 Pick 220 Jamar Chaney LB Mississippi- he has great closing speed and a excellent fit for the Eagles. While he plays 100 mph, its in the wrong direction too often. He also has sub-par instincts.

Round 7 Pick 243 Jeff Owens DT Georgia- has some injury problems but could anchor an defensive tackle position that needs depth.

Round 7 Kurt Coleman DB Ohio State- he has a big upside and could be a safety or a cornerback compared to a Ed Reed type player. Coleman can matchup man to man if need be. Kurt is a bit undersized but has strong overall athleticism.

So overall I give the Eagles 13 picks a A overall grade as the filled needs and got much needed depth, they got the DE and S they wanted. Also Riley Cooper and Charles Scott could be gems.
