Just bored waiting for the rain to let up so here it goes....
Ive seen lots of predictions for who the Eagles will take at #4. I've been bold in saying Geno, most say Dion Jordan or the best OL available but the Eagles' bigger need is in the defensive backfeild.. seeing as Jason Peters, center Jason Kelce and right offensive tackle Todd Herremans are expected to be at full strength in 2013, I just dont see the Eagles taking OL with #4.
Oregon OLB Dion Jordan makes a ton of sense because of familiarity with Chip Kelly and defensive line coach Jerry Azzinaro. But the Eagles already have Brandon Graham, Trent Cole, Vinny Curry and Phillip Hunt to serve as outside linebackers in their hybrid 3-4 scheme. Jordan is potentially a significant upgrade, but will they draft him with all that existing depth?
The Eagles also released Cullen Jenkins and Mike Patterson, which leaves them with Fletcher Cox and some question marks. Lotulelei would be in play if available, but he's not in this scenario. Ezekiel Ansah could fit as a versatile defensive end, but cornerback is arguably the team's biggest need with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie not likely to return and Nnamdi Asomugha expected to become a cap casualty.
I just dont see how they pass on Milliner at #4. Just seems like its the safest and most logical pick.

Milliner might go to the Raiders, otherwise a trade down would make sense
