NFL insider Adam Caplan says a trade up for Texas A&M WR Mike Evans is on the Eagles' radar.

Caplan also notes Oregon State receiver Brandin Cooks is a possibility. The "target area for Brandin Cooks: 20-32 in first," Caplan tweeted. "Everything checks out well with him -- character, tape, speed." We think Odell Beckham Jr. would be an even better fit thanks to his contested catch ability, but he is less likely to be there.

You know...to be honest I wouldn't be surprised if he gets drafted in the 2nd-3rd round. Seems like the kind of prospect some coach is going to want to groom to become the guy. If he somehow ever puts it together...you've got a franchise LT for a third round pick.

But it's never going to happen, and it's going to get a coach fired.

Henderson is the Logan Thomas of OTs. Amazing physical specimen, can't play the position worth a dick. Someone will burn a 2nd day pick on him and he might even creep into the late first.

Amy Pole Her
Jun 17, 2002
Henderson should be max third rounder and that's with his current potential
His kick slide is slow, he's a mutant for strength and he has zero agility as far as second level blocking goes. I'd be concerned if he was seeing the left side at his current size and agility. Right size would be good

He is a monster man tho. Rarely do you see a guy that big and that strong actually have quick feet. Does NOT translate well on the field

Appearing on the Tom Joyner Show with Roland Martin, Sanders was asked about the hype surrounding Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner projected as a top-10 draft pick.

"Oh, please. I love Johnny Football," Sanders said. "See, the reason people won't accept Johnny Football is because Johnny Football has ghetto tendencies. I love Johnny Football."

That prompted this exchange:

Martin: He's got ghetto tendencies? What are ghetto tendencies, Prime Time?

Sanders: Because he was successful, he made it, and he let you all know he made it, and he was cocky, he was flamboyant, and he let you know.

Martin: So he was a white Prime Time coming out of college.

Sanders: Thank you. And I love him. I love him. They had the music playing when he came in. Put his whole equipment up, who goes out there and do your pro day with all your equipment on? That's some hula stuff, I love Johnny Football.

I've never been able to figure out what state you're in and what teams you're a fan of because you seem to be all over the place, but I'm assuming you're talking about the Dolphin's o-line. I think the Phins need quick footed OTs first and foremost, and while Seantrel has abnormally quick feet for an OT, he doesn't display that in game. Jake Matthews or Taylor Lewan seem right up your alley.

So Seattle is taking him in the first, got it.

Really though, we need a lot on the line considering how awful our guard play has been and we lost Giacomini as well. (I can't loving believe I miss Breno :flag: Giacomini) We've got a good young QB and no matter how agile he is he will still need a line in front of him so Ahmad Brooks doesn't just fly in untouched all day long. Cable has been a miracle worker as our line coach, so hopefully if we end up with Henderson he can work some magic there.

Jake Matthews absolutely. We are looking for a RT thought so if we are dreaming I want me some auburn tackle!

I'd be ok with a number of guys who are slated in the 2-3 round

He's intentionally tanking so he can be on a better team, just like Bridgewater. I've heard that can happen in this very thread and it is a very plausible thing. I am gravely serious about this.
