FREE AGENT SIGNINGS
Dennis Dixon (QB): Chip Kelly brings in a QB that understands the terminology of the offense and can help the entire core learn the system. Dixon may end up the starter at the beginning of the season, in a move similar to Andy Reid utilizing Doug Pederson in his first year as a Head Coach.
Andy Levitre (OL): The first order of business will be to fix the offensive line and Levitre is a versatile interior lineman, who fits well into the system and play both Guard and Center. Chip Kelly wants athletes that can get out in space and Levitre has done that throughout his career, first at Oregon and recently with the Bills.
Sean Smith (CB): Smith is a big corner who has proven to be very good but struggles with inconsistency. With the rebuild of a defensive backfield, Smith is a solid addition as a No. 2 corner, who can cover bigger WR’s in the NFC.
Ma’ake Kemoatu (DT): Davis will need to add depth along the entire Defensive line, as well as need big bodies to fill an odd front. Kemoatu can fill a void in the 3-4 as a NT or DT, while also playing DT in a 4-3.
Rickey Jean-Francois (DL): He really played well for the 49ers into the Playoffs and adds toughness to the Defensive Line. His versatility along the line will be adorned by Billy Davis, who could use him in a role like Darnell Dockett
Louis Delmas (S): Delmas is one of the best Safeties in the league when he can stay on the field; which is a problem. His sure tackling and ability to stick with athletic Tight Ends is exactly what the Eagles need on the defense. They will get him for cheaper then some of the big name safeties available but could pay off the most in the end.
TRADES:
Eagles trade Nick Foles to the Kansas City Chiefs for 3rd Round pick
Eagles trade 2nd Round Pick (35) to the Miami Dolphins for 2nd Round Pick (44) and 4th Round Pick (108)
Draft:
1 (4): Dee Milliner (CB Alabama)- The Eagles get the best corner and continue rebuilding there Defense. His ability in man coverage, with his speed, makes him ideal to cover the big name Wide Outs in the league. With both DRC and Nnamdi let go, they get the shut-down corner they sorely needed when bringing those two in..
2(35): Kyle Long (OL Oregon)- Long is another versatile Offensive lineman, who could develop into a top flight LT with a couple years. He adds depth for the immediate future, and could be an insurance policy in case Peters cannot make it back.
3 (97): Ryan Nassib (QB Syracuse): Chip Kelly and staff seems to like Nassip’s ability, especially in the spread. He is a really smart kid who the Eagles give time to develop him as a possible face to the Franchise.
3 (99): Baccari Rambo (S Georgia)- Rambo is a team captain and sure tackler coming out of the SEC. He adds leadership, as well as having high potential to become a dominant Safety in the league, with his skill set agains the run and pass.
4 (100): Kwame Geathers (DT Georgia)- Geathers is a natural Nose Tackle in the 3-4 and will be the space eater needed in Davis’ scheme.
4 (110): Cornelius Washington (OLB Georgia)- Washington will fit in nicely having played the SAM position in college, where his job will be stuff the run first.
5 (131): Joseph Fauria (TE UCLA): He is a big target but has the ability to stretch the field. Chip Kelly watched him in the Pac 12, as he terrorized defenses with his athletic abilty.
6 (163): Zeke Motta (S Notre Dame): Motta plays very similar to Eric Weddle and could become an impact player in a couple years. He will also help the special teams as well.
6 (188): Michael Mauti (LB Penn State)- Mauti is not the most physically imposing LB, but is a leader and fits into the 3-4 scheme.
7(195): Reid Fragel (OT Ohio State): Depth along the offensive line, will most likely be a practice squad player for a couple years.
