Eagles lose R. Brown & probably McCoy which leaves them Dion Lewis and now BB. With a suspect running game, why go with a guy like BB when there were at least two proven backs out there who graded higher than BB?
Crazy to think brown gets drafted before janzen.
What he played one season as a freshmen. Never really played at k state.
Its like he got drafted out of high school.
McCoy is still on contract and will get a new one this year. Dion Lewis will be the second RB.......my money is on Andy Reid to know talent and he really wanted BB late.
They will pay McCoy......Jackson's and his contract was the main reason Samuel was dealt away for so cheapMcCoy's contract ends this season, Eagles will not pay what he wants to return, so I'm not counting on him returning.
But BB was a 7th rounder and their 9th pick so it maybe was worth the risk.
Brown might be a taxi squad - practice player but it is hard to imagine he will make it beyond the first cut - if he even made it past the first practice in pads.
At least he will get to see an NFL camp up close and see what reality is at the top level. He squandered an opportunity at a college education and is down to his last few weeks of the fantasy world he seems to live in.
I am amazed he was drafted by an NFL team after his flameout at K-State.

Graded higher by who? Not by the ones writing the checks. Someone mentioned Gerald Jones. The difference is talent. Brown has it but has to figure out if he wants to be a football player.
and they don't run the NFL Combine either.
If he can play special teams, he can make the roster. Dude will play with a chip on his shoulder ready to prove some people wrong
My point was each team has evaluators and opinions. The grading you linked is NFL Network. Are you saying that is an official grade that all are in agreement. Mayock, Mcshay and Kiper are entertaining and provide great insight but they do not have to pay the players.
