As many of you know, I do a draft compilation which summarizes prospect rankings from six sources and averages them to come up with the top 200 or so draft prospects.
I then look at nine mock drafts, combined with the rankings and try to get an idea of who will be available for the Eagles at # 25.
I go with drafting the best player available at a position of need, loosely defined this year as being any position except TE and QB ( for at least the first couple rounds).
There were 21 of players that were deemed to be 1st round talents by any of the nine mocks I followed who were available at #25 in at least one scenario, and of those, I eliminated 2 QB's and 1 TE. Here are the 18 players on the 1st round radar:
Rnk...Pos......Player...................#Avail at #25..#Mocked to Eagles
13.....WR.....DK Metcalf.................2 of 9................0 of 9
14.....DT.......C. Wilkins.................2 of 9................1 of 9 **
16.....CB......G. Williams................4 of 9................0 of 9
17.....DT.......J. Simmons...............8 of 9................1 of 9 **
18.....CB.......B. Murphy.................5 of 9................0 of 9
19.....ILB......D. Bush....................2 of 9................2 of 9
20......DE......C. Ferrell..................1 of 9................0 of 9 **
23......WR.....M. Brown..................4 of 9................2 of 9
24......CB......D. Baker...................6 of 9................0 of 9 **
25......OT......C. Ford.....................1 of 9................0 of 9 **
26......RB......J. Jacobs..................7 of 9................0 of 9 **
27......DT.......D. Lawrence.............9 of 9................0 of 9 **
28......WR......AJ. Brown................7 of 9................0 of 9 **
29......DT.......J. Tillery...................9 of 9................0 of 9 **
31......OC......G. Bradbury..............5 of 9................0 of 9
32......S.........N. Adderley..............9 of 9................0 of 9 **
33......OG.......C. Lindstrom............8 of 9...............1 of 9 **
38......S.........C. Gardner-Johnson...9 of 9...............2 of 9 **
I'll pare this down a little with the following logic. I remove both S, as there will be higher rated prospects available for sure.
I'll remove ILB and RB from the list in that the Eagles don't devote 1st round picks to these positions and I agree.
I'll remove OG and OC for the same reason, also other higher rated prospects will be available at 25.
That leaves me 12 to look into:
3 WR
4 DT
3 CB
1 DE
1 OT
I assume the Eagles would have met with their first round pick in the scouting process, and they have met with only eight of these twelve. I think our pick is among these:
WR AJ Brown
CB D. Baker
DE C. Ferrell
OT C. Ford
DT C. Wilkins
DT. J. Simmons
DT D. Lawrence
DT. J. Tillery
I will take a closer look to see if any of these strike an interest.
