Even I thought the Philadelphia Eagles were stealing Earl Thomas away from the Dallas Cowboys by moving up in the draft.
Wrong.
Surprisingly, they chose Brandon Graham, who was projected to be a 2nd rounder. I’m baffled.

I love Brandon Graham. I think this is a great pick the the Eagles, though I’m hoping he is now a huge bust.
What draft board are you looking at idiot!!????? Brandon Graham wasn’t going to last past the Giants 15th pick after McClain was taken by the Raiders! You have clearly shown your total lack of football knowledge and have shown you have no idea what you’re talking about. Congrats on being the biggest moron of the night!
Huge swing and a miss for the Eagles, though. Earl Thomas should’ve been the pick, no doubt. Graham still isn’t projected to start this year.
2nd rounder? You must be talking about some other Brandon Graham.
Don’t get too caught up with mock drafts. I’ve seen players mocked into the first round go in the fourth. Bruce Campbell for instance, is available in the fourth. I liked Graham, but it wouldn’t have been a surprise to see him fall into the 2nd. Sergio Kindle (who has a bigger boom/bust factor) fell into the 2nd.
No one had Alualu in the first, let alone in the top 10. I don’t think it’s that crazy of a reach. Alualu wasn’t guaranteed to be there when Jacksonville was drafting in the 2nd round, so you take the player you think can help you, critics be damned.
