True, but some team might fall in love with Warmack's physicality and power blocking ability. All depends on the scheme. Actually, Warmack is more suited for Zone (which is what they ran at Alabama). He was never called on to pull, which is almost required in a Man-Power scheme. True but like you said Cooper's athleticism would do wonders in a ZBS. Have him put on a couple more pounds and he would be ready to go.

Ive pretty much told everyone who had us picking Datone Jones that it wouldnt happen, however it wouldnt really suprise me at this point. A DE isnt as big as a need as a WR or Corner, but if the right player is there it wouldnt suprise me if it happens.

Why would the Eagles take an OLB??? They have 5 of them already? No. Star, Floyd, or Best OT available I don't know for sure if Brandon Graham is going to be as good next year as some people are predicting he will. This will be his first time playing in a 3-4 and he didn't exactly stand out in the 4-3 aside from the end of last season. Trent Cole also doesn't fit anywhere in a 3-4. Vinny Curry is okay I suppose, but I don't know how he will do either as he hasn't made very much noise as far as I know. Connor Barwin is the only player who has experience in a 3-4. As a 3-4 OLB, you need to be able to work in Pass Coverage. The Eagles do not have that. Dion Jordan's freakish athleticism has allowed him to cover slot WRs and TEs. Given the problems they have had recently against those positions, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the Eagles took Jordan. Him being from Oregon also doesn't hurt his chances either. Graham didnt stand out because he had been injured and a backed up Babin, when he got his shot he made the most of it. Yes Cole going to 3-4 is a head scratcher but with Graham, Cole, Barwin, Vinny Curry, Phillip Thomas, and Jason Phillips all on the Roster at OLB, it just wasnt a need in my opinion. So glad they didnt even get the chance. Idiotic reason to pick a kid because a coach had him in college. The Bills saw that in passing on Nassib for a better QB in Manuel. Dion Jordan= the biggest bust in the 2013 NFL draft.
