#22 Philadelphia Eagles: Dee Ford, OLB/DE AU

Rory’s Take: To me Dee Ford is not a first round talent. Yes he is fast off the edge and can bend it, but he lacks pass rush moves, gets buried on run downs, and has limited linebacker experience. However, I heard at the Senior Bowl first practice Chip Kelly went to the field to watch Dee Ford. After five minutes he smiled and walked away commenting on Dee Ford’s explosiveness.

Chase’s Take: Dee Ford to the Eagles is one of our highest consensus picks since the Senior Bowl and he remains here at #22 in our first mock draft of April.
