2012 Outlook: Stud (low risk)

Last updated on Aug-03-2012 by Ben Standig

Sacks came at a dizzying rate for the Eagles. With 50, they finished tied for most in the NFL. However, pedestrian interception totals and suspect tackling hurt the overall product. Former Texan DeMeco Ryans upgrades the lackluster linebacking unit while Nnamdi Asomugha should improve in year two. Tack on DeSean Jackson return skills and there are few better fantasy options to target, though early camp injuries at defensive end should be tracked.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	14.08	The Fantasy Typhoon
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	14.03	DraftSharks.com - There was so much negativity surrounding this D last year that it's easy to overlook the fact that it finished top-5 in fantasy. The Birds only added to the pass rush and picked up the best MLB they've had in a long time. Philly has a shot at being No. 1 in 2012.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	14.05	FFToday.com - The high expectations and subsequent crash and burn of the 2011 Dream Team hopefully humbled the Eagles enough to get them back to playing solid football in 2012. I suspect it will for this talented group.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	15.06	DraftSharks.com - The pass rush and the corners give this D so much fantasy upside.
