Rumor: Eagles Interested In Trading Up For Fletcher Cox

[bleys]

All I have said is Luke COULD be BPA on D based on how things unfold.....and should go that route over a DT.

That in no way suggests I will only be happy with a Luke. I'd rather have or equally be happy with several others.

DT class is just so deep value is better using the 2nd pick.

You are so focused in Cox you block out all the words used in a sentence that contains the word Luke. Luke's name only comes up when DTs are talked about....

I wouldn't be upset w/ Cox at 1 and David in the 2nd.... 43 DTs just need time. You need to be ready for Cox to develop some before being what you claim. Going Luke then DT if you are going the DT route early..... gives you a ready now LB and DT to develop. Cox at 9 means you likely dont have a week 1 player ready to go

the fact of the matter.. good post.

Bc it is more than just looking at a stat sheet. If Fairley, Dareus, and Cox were all in the same draft class......Cox would be at best the 3rd DT off the board.

Coz needs time to develop. We need help now. We can find someone to help us now at 9

Why is that CRA? Cox has the Production, Speed, and Strenght with both of them. They all played in the same conference. Cox was a starter longer then both of them. So what makes them better.

Think so? What are the knocks on Cox? I named 2 knocks on Fairley, and I didn't mention his small rump. He was considered top heavy and disproportionate. They didn't think he would get much push in run game due to his smaller legs.. and they were right. I think Cox is the better prospect with less questions surrounding him. Yes, Fairley had the better stats his junior year, there is no denying that. If it were as easy as looking at their last year of production, then the draft would be easy. Cox has more years starting and was more consistent too.

Fairley didn't just have better stats....he domanated football games in a manner Cox didn't. Again, not really debatable.

Cox wasnt impressive his first year in the SEC....same as Fairley.

Fariley was a 1 year wonder with off the field issues. Cox would have been a better Prospect.

Stick with the last one we considered then....Cox didn't have the production as Fairley when they excited college football. Fairley dominated games his last year in a manner Cox never showed. Who cares if Cox played an additional year if never reached where Fairely was when they exited

[HeatCheck]

The more I think about it.. the more I realize, that this story about the Eagles wanting to move up for Cox is exactly the story I want leaked if I want to draft Tannehill. You don't want the Dolphins thinking they need to move up to get their guy. The Eagles truly want Tannehill and are going to move to #7 to get him. Cox trade = Smokescreen. It makes horrible sense to trade into the Top 10 for a DT.

Really? Why would Philly trade up for one of the most overrated prospects in this draft? Considering they have Vick and clearly other needs that need to be addressed why lose draft picks to select Tannehill of all people. I just can't picture that happening.

I cant wait till the draft is over so dumbass people will start to talk about something else. Prob about how much they hate Hurney again.

Or how much they love Hurney

That is scary if there is not a tackle better than Fairley

You want to stick with the last because you know Cox had better number then Dareus. You ain't slick I see you trying to Barry Sanders the question. Because you don't want to admit you're wrong!!!

But Lets go on Fairley.

While Fairley had a great last year. Cox would have been the better Prospect.

He was a starter longer then Fairley with more years of Productions.

Cox had better # at the Combine then Fairley.

Plus Fairley F'D up on his interviews and had off the field red Flags which is why he drop from being the best DT in last year draft.

Plain and Simple Cox would have graded out better and been the better prospect.

Again, Fairly didn't just have better numbers. He

dominated games....you are focused on his better numbers yet ignore Fairely was a one man wrecking crew in D.

Years playing in college and the combine dont mean much. you gotta bring more than that to close the gap in play Fairely had when he exited college.

NFL is about talent. What you do on the field as a football player.

It is a deep class of DTs....why draft a kid high at 9 when you can get a comparable DT in the 2nd.

I wouldn't mind one of the DTs. Just not at 9. My issue with the DTs is not so much the DTs themselves but drafting one at 9. I you are set in getting a DT in the draft.....you should look for one in the early 2nd.

1st on non DT + 2nd round DT > DT at 9 + BPA in 2nd.

He was still a 1 man wrecking crew when Dareus pass him and he fell from being a top 5 pick to the # 13th pick.

I know it's hard for you but just admit you're wrong.

Yes. That doesn't change what he was in college.

Your reasoning why Cox is better coming out is the combine, an extra year, and an interview. That doesn't support Cox being better in the SEC coming out.

I am not disagreeing LONG term Cox might project to be a better NFL prospect

Dude Cox would have graded out higher then Dareus and Fairley plain and simple.

He would have had more years of Production then both.

He put up better numbers at the Combine then both.

He had better Numbers then Dareus coming out and Fairley Red Flags would have made Cox a safer prospect then him.

Cox would have been the Top DT last year as well.
