00:00all right ladies and gentlemen we are back day two here of the nfl draft and the picks are starting

00:07to fly the chiefs are on the board actually they're already about to make their pick let's

00:11see who they're gonna take omar norman lot taking dt out of tennessee the eagles are officially on

00:18the clock and uh still a lot of value depth here on the board i honestly am starting to feel like

00:25they're going in the trenches i mean you look at everything as it stands right now a lot of the

00:29guys i liked in this second round um are off the board you know the mason taylors of the world

00:35uh just a bunch of defensive linemen and a lot of guys that i liked went off the board nick scorton

00:40went off the board oladejo went off the board uh tj sanders went off the board trying to think of

00:46who else oh trey amos just got drafted by the commanders which hurts donovan ezaraku went to

00:51the cowboys so honestly man a lot of the guys that i liked here at the end of the first round second

00:57round went to some of the teams in this division which stinks but if we're looking at overall

01:03players right now darius alexander savan revel uh maybe how he just decides to go in the trenches

01:08but the eagles pick is already in they took jihad campbell last night so let's see who the eagles are

01:15going to take obviously still a need at safety maybe corner right you could go draft a corner depending

01:21on how you want to play the board here i honestly thought how we might have traded out of this based on

01:26not trading up i thought he'd trade up honestly uh but they're probably going to go in the trenches

01:32probably on the defensive line if i had to guess as long as they don't go with shador sanders all

01:38right no shador sanders he is still on the board uh there's been a lot of hype about shador sanders

01:44they've been talking about him since the draft show started yesterday and he is still on the board

01:49no quarterback factory no shador sanders okay anybody else um kevin winston jr a safety i believe

01:57they met with him hold on i have the uh visit list here yeah the eagles did meet with kevin winston jr

02:03another guy's marcus bow out of purdue a guy that they have liked a lot anthony belton got selected

02:09earlier in this second round even charles grant out of william and mary i believe he's still on the board

02:14there's always a lot of picks a lot going on yeah charles grant number one oh tackle on the

02:19board right now but i honestly feel like they're going on the defensive line landon jackson from

02:24arkansas still there here it is man last pick of the second round starting to fly man not too many

02:32trades i mean a couple here and there jordan birch edge out of oregon still on the board i mean they have

02:39to go defensive line right it feels to me like they're going with the defensive line they talked

02:45a lot about jihad campbell right almost a hybrid you can play off ball linebacker you can come up

02:50on line of scrimmage shout out to bow allen man i'm honored to be here representing the super

02:55bowl champion philadelphia eagles go birds here we go with the 64th pick the 2025 nfl draft

03:06the super bowl champion philadelphia eagles select andrew mccuba defensive back text

03:12so the philadelphia eagles go with andrew mccuba a safety out of texas a guy who did have a day two

03:21grade and a guy that i think they liked during this pre-draft process let me check did they actually

03:28have him in for a visit i don't have him on my list here all right so andrew mccuba the new safety for

03:34the philadelphia eagles i was just looking at his profile and he actually had a fourth round grade

03:41so maybe this was a bit of a stretch but i had heard him mostly in the third round so the eagles

03:45decide to go at the end of the second round right when they're starting the third round and you know

03:50i think this is a good value pick you look at his stats here he had a breakout season five

03:55interceptions for texas this season he had four tackles for loss he had uh 69 total tackles and this

04:03guy plays with a lot of physicality he plays with a high motor a lot of energy great ball hawking

04:08skills he's very attention to detail uh detail oriented just a guy who can move all over the

04:14field you could actually play him in the slot if you need to and he's just an overall high level player

04:20and he had a big time season now the big knock on him is his size he is a little bit undersized

04:26he's you know 5 11 6 feet 185 so you know he could be pushed around a little bit could miss some

04:33tackles when diving at the legs but overall uh i think this is a good pick when you think about

04:37the eagle safety position and you think about what they are trying to do um you know the philadelphia

04:44eagles have to figure it out now maybe they go sign justin simmons but they traded cj gardner johnson

04:49and they need a safety not saying that sydney brown can't be the guy he's surely going to compete he's

04:55surely another physical you know tough mentality type of safety who's going to get an opportunity

05:00but if they don't feel 100 confident in sydney brown right now and i don't think they should

05:05based on his injury history then andrew mccuba is another guy that's going to come in and hopefully

05:10provide some value for the philadelphia eagles so honestly i'm surprised that they didn't go on the

05:16defensive line but i think they're just looking at value right now and kind of projecting you know

05:22who they can go with and who's going to be available at their next pick and so on and so

05:26forth so andrew mccuba the newest member of the philadelphia eagles they actually had a couple other

05:34guys here in front of them kevin winston jr xavier watts but let's see uh we can find andrew mccuba

05:41and let's see if they have a little bit about him here we go andrew mccuba free safety and

05:47nickelback ran a 445 at the combine runs well on tape he reads the quarterback has the range to

05:53play center field and single high looks his arms are short but he closes and times his hits well

05:58enough to break up catches tied for the scc lead and interceptions quick to get downhill defending

06:04the run beating blockers and uh yeah i think he plays well for his you know a little bit of being

06:10undersized so very excited for this guy and i don't think a lot of people saw safety coming just yet

06:16but the eagles decide to go with him they viewed him as their highest player on the board right now

06:20give me all your thoughts down below what do you think about this pick where do you think the eagles

06:23go next appreciate everybody for tapping in

06:26you
