20. Philadelphia Eagles: Jordan Spieth, Golfer, Texas
A golfer? Chip Kelly drafted a golfer? I’m sure there’s a reasonable chipsplanation.

“Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are pretty good golfers, and they also turned out to be pretty good quarterbacks,” Kelly says at Spieth’s introductory press conference. “Are you starting to connect the dots yet?

“Spieth has not only won the Masters but beaten Tony Romo in golf numerous times,” Kelly said. “Those skills directly translate to the field. Or do I have to draw you a diagram?” Kelly then throws a microphone at Howard Eskin and storms off the podium.

Kelly’s media apostles then explain that Kelly wins with scheme on offense, not personnel, and that the scheme has never been about mobile option quarterbacks; that was always a superficial assessment by so-called experts who don’t understand strategy. A perfectly stationary athlete would actually be better for the Eagles offense, so Spieth is perfect. So is Tim Tebow, because … computer error … CLASHING RATIONALIZATIONS … LOGICAL FALLACY … Zzzzt.

Here is the full Eagles mock draft. If you don’t understand the logic behind the moves, it is because you are not smart enough:

1st Round: Jordan Spieth, Texas

2nd Round: Manny Pacquiao, Notre Dame of Dadiangas

3rd Round: Sam Dekker, Wisconsin (as a running back)

4th Round: American Pharoah, Zayat Stables. When things go wrong, Kelly ain’t going out like Richard III.

5th Round: Hroniss Grasu, Oregon. What? The Eagles need depth at center!

5th Round: Sent to Chargers as part of the Connor Barwin-Phillip Rivers-Adrian Peterson-Johnny Manziel trade to acquire Giancarlo Stanton.

6th Round: Jordan Lewis, Hawthorn. Kelly has plans to revolutionize Austalian football, too.

7th Round: Someone who will be blamed on Howie Roseman.
 
It cracks me up how people are reacting to Chip Kelly. A lot of people on Philly sports radio feel he doesn't 'have a plan', that he shouldn't have been given GM status, etc.
But this is what we do know about him..... Kelly was promoted to offensive coordinator at New Hampshire (1999–2006). The Wildcats' offenses averaged better than 400 yards per game of total offense in seven of his eight seasons and more than 30 points per game in his final four seasons.

In 2004, the school broke 29 offensive school records; compiling 5,446 yards of total offense and scoring 40 or more points in seven games. Their best offensive output was in 2005 when the Wildcats finished second nationally in total offense (493.5 ypg), third in scoring (41.7 ppg) and fifth in passing (300.1 ypg). They completed the season with an 11–2 record.
he has won everyone he's been. He was 46-7 at Oregon, and won the following awards:
  • 2009 Pac-10 Coach of the Year
  • 2010 Pac-10 Coach of the Year
  • 2010 Associated Press Coach of the Year
  • 2010 Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year
  • 2010 Walter Camp Coach of the Year
  • 2010 Sporting News Coach of the Year
  • 2010 AFCA Coach of the Year
  • 2013 Maxwell Club Coach of the Year
He adopted a 4 win Eagles team and has won 20 games in 2 seasons; 10 last season with a ton of injuries...

In the 2 seasons with the Eagles, the team gained the MOST yards and scored the MOST points......in franchise HISTORY.

If you look at results, I think he should be getting a bit more trust than he has been given lately. Separate the facts from opinion, and it's really hard to argue with his results.

I liked that part about throwing the microphone at Howard Eskin :)
(this "mock" draft was from Bleacher Report).
 
this one is out on ESPN:

1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Buccaneers send: 2015-1-1,1 2016-3, Vincent Jackson
Eagles send: 2015-1-20, 2015-4-113, 2016-1, 2017-4 (conditional), Evan Mathis, Sam Bradford, and Brandon Boykin

I do this deal in a heartbeat !!!
 
Kelly saw a report that predicted a draft on Thursday. Then he read about several people mocking the draft. Since he knows that only he creates a draft when he speaks, he figured they were all mocking him. That is why he threw the mic at Eskin, because in Philly only Eskin or Angelo Cataldi create a draft as noteworthy as the Chipster. Cataldi wasn't there so Eskin had to (Oregon) "duck"!
