12. DT - Fletcher Cox, Mississippi State
46. LB - Mychal Kendricks, California
59. DE - Vinny Curry, Marshall
88. QB - Nick Foles, Arizona
123. DB - Brandon Boykin, Georgia
153. T - Dennis Kelly, Purdue
194. WR - Marvin McNutt, Iowa
200. G - Brandon Washington, Miami (FL)
229. RB - Bryce Brown, Kansas State
Offense: Marvin McNutt is a better big wide receiver than Riley Cooper, making him a candidate to be a long term No. 3 and red zone weapon in Philadelphia. Nick Foles could be the backup QB in a year or two, and even get a shot at the starting job, but his upside is very limited. Bryce Brown was once the best RB prospect in the country, but at this point, he's just a deep dynasty flyer like many UDFAs. Chris Polk, a 2nd-3rd round level pick who fell out of the draft because of medical concerns, is a much better RB prospect than Brown.
Defense: The Eagles hit home-runs in this draft. Fletcher Cox is a versatile, dynamic defensive lineman who could put up DT1 numbers immediately and could be a top 5 DL in this class. Mychal Kendricks will compete to start at SLB, but should easily win an every-down OLB job soon. His upside is capped on the strong-side, but there's LB3+ value here. Vinny Curry won't see huge snap counts in this crowded DL unit, but his situational value and long term upside is tremendous. With the league trending toward spread sets more and more, nickel corners can sometimes have every-week fantasy value. Brandon Boykin will play the run and make plays in the slot; he's the right kind of player to take a risk on if he flashes early.
