EDTShareTweetShareShareNFL Mock Draft 2019: Mel Kiper and Todd McShay each make three picks for the Eagles Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY SportsNFL draft analysts Mel Kiper and Todd McShay recently teamed up for a new ESPN Insider mock where they each made one selection for every pick in the first two rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft.The Eagles obviously have three picks in the first two rounds so that means there’s a total of six selections here for Philadelphia. Let’s take a look.MEL KIPERWe’ll start off with Kiper’s picks first. Abram is who Kiper previously had the Eagles picking in his Version 3.0 mock draft. Again, I have a hard time envisioning Philly drafting a box safety with their first-round pick. If the Eagles are looking for an eventual Jenkins replacement, I think they’d be looking at safeties who excel in coverage, especially given those type of defenders are the prospects the Eagles have been showing pre-draft interest in. I’d also like to note Kiper has the Eagles passing on Cody Ford here to take Abram. The Eagles have been showing a lot of interest in Howard this offseason. They met with him at the Senior Bowl, the Combine, and at their own facility for an official pre-draft visit. Philly could look to hedge their bet on Jordan Mailata by drafting another developmental tackle prospect like Howard and hoping for the best. It’s easy to imagine the Eagles drafting a linebacker at some point this year since they don’t have an established starter in the middle of the defense. Okereke might be a reach here though with various scouting reports pegging him as more of a Day 3 pick.Overall, not overly thrilled with this haul from Kiper.TODD MCSHAYI’d be surprised to see the Eagles take a first-round cornerback given that they already have six corners who seem very likely to make the roster (barring trade) in 2019: Ronald Darby, Jalen Mills, Avonte Maddox, Rasul Douglas, Sidney Jones, Cre’Von LeBlanc. Darby and Mills are coming off injuries suffered in 2018 but they’re very much in the starting picture when healthy. Where does a rookie corner fit into that picture? I’m just not seeing it. I can understand the argument for the long-term need at corner. Darby and Mills will both be free agents after this year. Jones is very much injury prone. Maddox might be more of a nickel while Douglas has been up and down. But the Eagles’ actions this offseason are one of a team that’s really making an aggressive push to win in 2019. It doesn’t seem like drafting a first-round corner lines up with that goal. With that said, the Eagles ARE reportedly hosting Baker on a pre-draft visit Womens Richard Rodgers Jersey , so I guess it’s not impossible they take him. If he’s CLEARLY the best player by far remaining on the board at No. 25, they should take him (or trade down). There’s just no need to force a pick at corner, though.Sanders is an interesting prospect because there’s some thought he has untapped potential, especially as a pass catcher. He only had 32 receptions for 193 yards (low 6.0 average) and one touchdown for Penn State but he also had to deal with playing behind Saquon Barkley for two years. The Eagles should absolutely be looking for a dynamic, pass-catching back in the 2019 NFL Draft to pair with Howard. Sanders boasts quality athleticism and skills to believe he can be an early contributor in the Eagles’ running back rotaiton. There could be hope for him to eventually be the 1A in Philly’s system.Thornhill, listed as a corner here, is a safety prospect that makes sense for the Eagles. Philly hosted him on a pre-draft visit and it’s not hard to see why they’re interested in him. Thornhill logged 26 passes defensed and 13 interceptions in four years at Virginia; he’s a play-maker. Thornhill’s versatility makes him a potential replacement for Jenkins (unlike the aforementioned Abram). Overall, this haul seems preferable to what Kiper gave the Eagles. Even despite the first-round corner quandary. So, what do you think? Who has the better pick for the Eagles? The details have begun to emerge for the new Carson Wentz contract. As usual, however, the full and accurate details won’t be known until the full contract can be scrutinized.Per multiple reports, Wentz’s four-year extension has a base value of $128 million. Because, however Jordan Matthews Jersey , there are no actual contract extensions but only new contracts written and executed from scratch, Wentz now has a six-year deal, with a base value of $154.7 million. (The extra $26.7 million comes from the $4 million in base pay that Wentz will earn in 2019, plus the $22.7 million option-year salary he would have earned in 2020.)Those numbers create a new-money average of $32 million, and a total value at signing of $25.7 million.Under the new-money metric, Wentz landed behind only Russell Wilson ($35 million), Ben Roethlisberger ($34 million), and Aaron Rodgers ($32.5 million). Based on total value at signing, however, Wentz lands behind the likes of Kirk Cousins ($28 million) and Jimmy Garoppolo ($27.5 million).The guarantees reportedly exceed $100 million. But the initial reports always blur the line between true guarantee and injury guarantee, with reporters pushing the higher (and inaccurate) number as the for getting the info before it’s available via others sources, like the NFLPA database. The full picture as to the Wentz guarantees won’t be known, probably for at least a few days.In the end http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-avonte-maddox-jersey , it can be characterized as a win-win deal, at least for now. As the salary cap climbs (based on a new CBA, new TV deals, and the still-vague impacts of gambling on total revenue), Wentz’s deal could quickly become obsolete, but he’ll remain bound to the team through 2024.That said, the new-money average becomes impressive in light of the fact that Wentz has suffered in two consecutive Decembers season-ending injuries. The Eagles are taking a calculated risk, putting a large bird on the table before Wentz has proven that he can stay healthy long enough to kill, cook, and eat it.While Wentz could have done better after 2019, he also could have done worse. And it’s one thing to rattle off what a player wants in the abstract; it’s quite another to say “no thanks” when the team makes an offer that the player as a practical matter can’t refuse.
