Tony Pauline of DraftInsider.net reviewed the Eagles draft. Here is the part I found most interesting.
“Zach Ertz/TE/Stanford (Round 2, pick #35): Ertz was one of our favorite tight ends leading to the draft but I foolishly bought into many of the criticisms being passed on him rather than trusting the game film. Eagles fans will be glad Kelly and company relied on the film and grabbed Erzt in round two. He offers natural receiving skills and is much more a complete tight end compared to his former Stanford teammate Colby Fleener, the 33rd pick in the 2012 draft. Expect Ertz to have an immediate impact for the Eagles offense as a pass catcher and blocker”
Pauline also offered good info on why Jordan Poyer fell. Read his review for the details.
For Poyer:
” then ran better than expected at the combine”
I was under the impression that he ran horribly at he combine. They were expecting him to run worse!?
Poyer was awful at the Combine in the bench press and vertical jump.
His 40 wasn’t good, but was acceptable. Possible that teams worried he might be even slower.
Thanks for the clarification Tommy
