>> it's been the i wave length to a sports roller coaster. up down, up again. >> dramatic. >> two of the best to break it down. >> we really had an exciting day day. >> yeah. >> everybody talked about marcus mariota.

the eagles made their pick didn't not give up the form to get marcus. took a nice looking wide receiver out of usc by the name of nelson agholor. 104 catches over 1300 yards receiving 12 touchdowns four career punt returns for td's. but let's talk to the man who will call his name over and over the voice of eagles my good friend merrill reece from the novacare complex. hello, merrill. >> reporter: hi, beasley. i am so relieved when i hear them call a name and i don't have to scurry for a draft guide and say they drafted who? what does he play? agholor is one of four players one of four players who i felt was a real possibility. 's a solid player. i've watched a lot of tape of agholor. he actually even though he's a bit smaller he reminds me style weiss of my good buddy mike quick. very graceful. he can cut on dime and almost prances into the end zone.

>> now merrill when you see this guy catch, do you think he replaces a desean jackson or does he -- did he sore like -- i know you said mike quick. but is he more like a um, you know like a jeremy maclin? >> yeah, i think he's very close to a jeremy maclin stylistic klee. maclin was very smooth. he had great speed. but not four-thee speed but fast enough. he's very similar to a maclin probably in size and the things that he does especially well. interestingly maclin came out of missouri he was a punt returner and that was never one of his real pluses here. but agholor is also a very gifted punt returner, and i think if they want to spell darrin sproles a little bit he may fit the bill in that regard, too. >> quickly merrill we did not get cuss mariota your thoughts

on the fact that he is in tennessee and apparently will stay in tennessee? >> beasley i never thought they were going to get marcus mariota mariota. i thought it was the most remote thing that could possibly happen. you simply cannot move from 20 down to two in a draft without giving the whole ranch. it would of too costly. chip praised the by saying it was like getting out of your car, looking at this very expensive house and realizing that there was no way you could afford it. he said it was never a serious thing. he contacted -- they contacted tennessee only yesterday but it never came close to being a deal deal. of course rumors central was out there and all kinds of sources were reporting that they were giving up about 14 players and number one draft choices through the year 2030 and somebody that was mike quick too too. >> merrill thank you very much. you are the best. of course, you know you can hear merrill call the eagles games on our sister station sports radio
