Draft Safety Preview

I don't know whether I want the Eagles to draft Taylor Mays at 24 or trade up and acquire Earl Thomas from Texas. I watched some of his video today and Thomas represented a tremendous knowledge for the game. He was able to remember one team's offense plays in some film I saw and he ended up jumping the route and getting a pick 6. He has amazing cover abilities and can hold up in the Eagles scheme where the safety has to play man coverage. That's the knock on Mays. His ability to cover zone and read the QB coupled with the fact that he is stiff and will have trouble in man coverage are forcing his name down draft boards and now out of some experts 1st rounds all together. I still love his raw abilities and hitting power, but now I became a little more confident in Thomas after seeing his film. I didn't think much of him prior to this, but now I'm a believer in him. I think the Eagles will trade up for either Thomas, Joe Haden, a CB from Florida, or Eric Berry, a S from Tennessee. It's a hunch that they trade up and I became more comfortable with it when I heard the new GM is going to have the Eagles be very aggressive this draft. With five picks in the top 87 why not go get who you want. It will be a crazy 1st Round tomorrow.
