BCC Mock Draft: With the 28th pick the Philadelphia Eagles select RB LeSean McCoy out of the University of Pittsburgh.
While the Eagles still have needs at tackle and tight end (I considered William Beatty or Jared Cook), McCoy seems like too good of a match. He definitely won't be around the next time the Eagles pick. Westbrook is getting older, and is starting to show some wear and tear, so it's time for the Eagles to find a RB that can spell him some and eventually take over in a few years. McCoy is equally adept at taking the ball up the middle, or taking a swing pass to the end zone. McCoy has had two great years in a terrible offense. Every team knew that to win, they had to stop McCoy, yet he still produced. In addition, he is durable and only 20 years old.

not a good fit
Philly has never really used a pounder back. the west coast offense is more about spreading the field and using space to get the RB through the hole. also, the ability to catch out of the backfield is really important.
additionally, wells has a substantial injury history, while mccoy has been healthy despite substantial use.

Yeah good reasoning
I can see why you’d make that pick. I’m assuming Beanie will go to the Cardinals at 30 now.

yeah
he’ll be a steal at 30.
i think mccoy is amazing, and will be a big time player. i’m really hoping he’ll fall to the jags in the second round, but if i were a GM, i’d start looking at him around 20.
