Chip Kelly loves himself some Oregon players. There are currently nine of them on the roster, and Kelly tried to trade up to draft a tenth last night. This is not breaking news -- Eagles fans have had Chip's #DuckBias beaten into their heads by us media folk for the last two years. However, Chip's #Pac12Bias is right up there with his #DuckBias.

When the Eagles made USC WR Nelson Agholor their first round pick last night, they selected their eighth Pac-12 player in just 16 picks since Chip Kelly took over as the Eagles' head coach. That is the most in the league during that span by a comfortable margin:

Team Total picks Pac-12 draft picks Percentage Eagles 16 8 50 Panthers 12 4 33.3 Packers 21 6 28.6 Bears 15 4 26.7 Vikings 20 5 25 Chargers 13 3 23.1 Saints 13 3 23.1 Titans 15 3 20 Steelers 19 3 15.8 Colts 13 2 15.4 Jets 20 3 15 Bills 15 2 13.3 Chiefs 15 2 13.3 Cardinals 17 2 11.8 Cowboys 17 2 11.8 Falcons 18 2 11.1 Raiders 19 2 10.5 Seahawks 20 2 10 Texans 21 2 9.5 49ers 24 2 8.3 Browns 13 1 7.7 Buccaneers 13 1 7.7 Giants 15 1 6.7 Patriots 16 1 6.3 Redskins 16 1 6.3 Jaguars 18 1 5.5 Dolphins 18 1 5.5 Rams 19 1 5.3 Bengals 19 1 5.3 Broncos 14 0 0 Lions 18 0 0 TOTAL 542 72 13.3





The total tally: Two Ducks, two Trojans, two whatever the hell the plural version of Stanford's mascot is, a Beaver, and a Ute.

Player Position School Year Round Overall Zach Ertz TE Stanford 2013 2 35 Matt Barkley QB USC 2013 4 98 Joe Kruger DE Utah 2013 7 212 Jordan Poyer CB Oregon State 2013 7 218 Josh Huff WR Oregon 2014 3 86 Taylor Hart DE Oregon 2014 5 141 Ed Reynolds S Stanford 2014 5 162 Nelson Agholor WR USC 2015 1 20





Interestingly, the offensive players from non-Oregon Pac-12 schools put up some impressive statistical performances against Kelly at Oregon:

• Nelson Agholor vs Oregon, 2012: 6 catches, 162 yards, 1 TD

• Zach Ertz vs Oregon, 2012: 11 catches, 106 yards, 1 TD

• Matt Barkley vs Oregon, 2012: 35 of 54, 484 yards, 5 TD, 2 INT

• Matt Barkley vs Oregon, 2011: 26 of 34, 323 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT

Familiarity is great, as long as the players Kelly selects are good. So far, it's a mixed bag, and that's being generous. Ertz looks like a quality player, and many are expecting Huff to make a leap in 2015. However, Kruger, Hart, Reynolds, Poyer and Barkley have appeared in a combined seven career games for the Eagles, although to be fair, they were all drafted in the fourth round or later.

To be determined what becomes of Agholor.
