Not Much Concensus For Eagles In Mock Drafts
By Spike Eskin
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Quarterback, offensive lineman, defensive tackle, linebacker, cornerback. The Eagles could use players at every one of those positions. Perhaps that's why it's so difficult to figure out who they're going to select with the fourth pick in next week's NFL Draft.
Mock drafts from around the country don't seem to agree on the direction the Eagles will go with the pick, and neither Howie Roseman nor Chip Kelly have given many clues either. Kelly said on Tuesday that he doesn't believe there is a "can't miss" player at any position in this year's draft. Howie Roseman said the team won't reach because of need at the fourth pick, which could indicate they're open to a trade.
Here's who writers around the country currently have the Eagles selecting if they stay at #4:
Rob Rang of CBS Sports: Geno Smith, QB West Virginia
Dane Brugler of CBS Sports: Geno Smith, QB West Virginia
Pat Kirwan of CBS Sports: Dion Jordan, LB Oregon
Pete Prisco of CBS Sports: Star Lotulelei, DT Utah
