I was on line outside of Radio City at 5am....waited in line until 8:30 when they announced no more tickets were going to be distributed.
Way to go NFL!
and you're not even allowed to get in line until 5, right? that sucks dude.
thats what they told us, but apparantely there were people in line from midnight on.
this would have been my 4th year running at the draft, and each year there is a different procedure as to how to get in. plus they never release any info about admission until the day before which leaves everyone scrambling. :boo

Dude, you totally just bitch slapped me and my draft thread. I am deeply offended.
Anyhow, Russell is going #1 according to ESPN.
i'm sorry pumpkin...i guess we had the same idea at the same time. i wasted time finding neat pictures though.
You got the first post so you win. Done and done.
Ray Diddy did a "best case scenario" draft for their first 3 picks, based on where they were picking.
He said:
1 - Reggie Nelson
2 - Brian Leonard
3 - Brandon Siler
I'd still rather have Tony Hunt over Leonard, but I wouldn't hate that draft
I think Hunt would be wasted in this offense. He needs a lot of carries to establish himself; the more carries he gets the better he runs.
I think Leonard is a much better fit with the way Andy Reid runs this offense.
Oakland needs Russell. Pickin Johnson would be dumb. Even though he's a once in a lifetime pick.
Browns | Team to select J. Thomas at No. 3?
Sat, 28 Apr 2007 07:43:11 -0700
Michael Smith, of ESPN.com, reports the Cleveland Browns, according to team sources, will, barring a trade, take Wisconsin OT Joe Thomas with the No. 3 pick in the NFL Draft.
Well Michael Smith is really starting to ruin this draft for me.
Michael Smith needs to stop ruining all the farging fun
that must mean the Browns think they can get Beck or Edwards in the 2nd
(http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h154/CrowHuck/heinzp1.gif) (http://org-www.lincolnfinancialfield.com/uploads/photos/perm/main/CPLKAPOMDIAK/smith_ESPN_hb_060213.jpg)
ESPN is now reporting that the Raiders are "categorically" denying that they informed Russell he is the number one pick.
There is a 20% chance they will try to trade to the 3 spot and take Brady Quinn so the Browns can take Russell number 1 and thusly shteinting all over Michael Smith's scoops.
That would be 20% of awesomeness.
ESPN might be doing that to keep the draft interesting and keep viewers hooked.
I think Hunt would be wasted in this offense. He needs a lot of carries to establish himself; the more carries he gets the better he runs.
this is a great point...hunt is a runner that is much better in the fourth quarter than the first...he needs to have constant carries find a rhythm then wear heads down....i dont know if hes good enough to be a full time runner in this league...but hes either that or a back up...imo hes not an ideal #2 back where you use him in tandem with another guy
Ugh. I wasn't sure where I would watch the draft, NFLN or ESPN. I flipped on ESPN for Kiper, and saw Meshawn talking. I turned on NFLN with teh quickness. Even Neon Deion is more bearable that the fargstick.
Deion is more tolerable than Keyshawn?
i think not.

Deion only gets his own gay little segments, I can flip from them and back when he's done. The way ESPN has it set up, Keyshawn gets to comment on every god damned thing just like Kiper, Berman, and Mort. farg that.
NFLN > ESPN.

RACIST!!!!
Glen Macnow was getting all riled up this morning about the Eagles taking Meriweather because of the gun thing. He was up on the soapbox about how "we don't need another gun in a city that has 130 murders" blah, blah, blah. He said Sal Pal told him if they draft him Sal will ask Meriweather at the PC if he plans on toting the gun to Philly.
And then he was all upset about the FIU thing too...
Making this dood out to be Tank Johnson or something.
Get Meriweather!
Whats funny is WIP used to rip the Eagles for not taking a chance on questionable players who can ball in lieu of choieboys

this is going to take the full 15 minutes. for sure. just pick jamarcus you idiots
here we go...demarcus...good pick for them
Russell's a Raydah.
Russell's mom or grandmom looks like James Brown
lions need a QB
lions need a whole lot of help
Lions are gonna draft another damn WR?? Jesus.
im calling trade
NFLN says Browns now on the clock....
Lions take Johsnon.
wow..another receiver
oh lord. i feel really bad for him. stuck in detroit. ugh
Roy Williams, Mike Furrey and Calvin Johnson... wow.
I agree with what Mayock said though - just b/c you farg up on Rogers & Mike Williams doesn't mean you pass on a guy like Johnson. Past drafts should not scare you away from good players because they play the same position as previous busts
I know he's supposed to be the best player in the draft, but if the Lions don't trade him... :-D

Yeah, we all know one of the best 2 WR prospects of all time (him and Fitzgerald) will do awful in a pass happy offense by Martz that literally throws the ball 70% of the time, while having one of the most explosive WRs on the other side of him AND a very experienced QB.
Browns take Joe Thomas.
I had Quinn going to them in the mock contest. I bet he'll go to 9 now with Miami and make one of my friends very happy.
I'm betting TB takes Adams here. When Rice retires they wouldnt even miss him.
:-D After ESPN spent 15 minutes talking about Quinn
oh right who's that QB?
Not a big fan of Quinn. Smart move by the Browns. I would've taken Peterson though.
Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams vs Lito and Sheldon. um :-\
eagles d-line vs lions o-line....hmmmm
Jevon Kearse, Darren Howard, Trent Cole, Juqua Thomas, 1st day pick vs Jeff Backus and George Foster. :-D

Eagles are the exact opposites of the Lions drafting...

That is hilarious.
Sal Pal says that Phil Simms is coming out of retirement to play for the Bucs.
TB could take Quinn? Thats what ESPN says. I have a feeling if he falls we're going to be subjected to Quinn pimping thats 10x worse than the Aaron Rodgers a few years ago as he cried in the green room.
I have MIA taking Quinn but trading up to 6 to do it.
Suzy's already there for interview #1 of 3,629.
i agree with the lions there with that pick. if johnson is all he is cracked up to be he should be awesome for them. kitna is servicable and they could possibly get a talented QB in a later round or maybe even pick up culpepper when he is released.
anyone think minn should take quinn?
arizona taking peterson could be dangerous.
Garcia
Simms
Gradkowski
Plummer
Quinn
I hope they do take Quinn - just so Garcia sees the starting job he so badly wanted go down the shteinter

Mayock talked up the Lions taking Trent Edwards or John Beck with their 2nd pick...
I think MIN is satisfied enough with Jackson at this point to leave Quinn on the board. They don't know what they have with him yet and IMO... Quinn isn't "can't miss" enough to kick Jackson to the curb.
So how long until Simeon Rice is traded to DET?
ESPN still pimping a possible Johnson for Adams swap.
Marinelli will likely want Rice if they keep Johnson, IMO.
Good job by Goodell there. He stopped starting with the position which ruined the anticipation of each pick.
When he started with. Detroit Lions select... WIDE RECEIVER... etc.
Who is the next best OL in the draft cause I think that's who the Cards will take. Either O or D-line.
So what the hell does Arizona do now? I see Peterson in a lot of mocks but I think it would definitely be overkill...I'm hoping Landry at this point, farg Landry going to the taterskins. I would be dissapointed as shtein. Maybe Levi Brown, but top 5? :-D
Trade down for Levi would be smart. Then Atlanta could secure Landry.
Schefter says Levi Brown is going to ARZ.
Its gonna be Levi one way or the other I would think. He can play RT and Leinart is a lefty so he can protect the blind side. Plus Arizona was rumored to like Levi just as much as Joe Thomas.

Good shtein with that avatar. I've wanted him for a long time, and it's definitely possible. If the Eagles draft Nelson or Spencer I'm calling their sponsor.
So...yeah, Brown. Definitely not top 5 material. He's good but he should have went at like...15-25.
Levi Brown it is.

Smart on their part since if they don't trade it... they make their pick and go home 'til tomorrow.
haven't seen Nelson play but I've read he isn't a particularly good tackler. That would hurt at the FS position down the road. Is this true that he isn't a good tackler?
It would be awesome if Washingto got Quinn and kept him.

That alone should tell you that it's actually a good pick for them.
so they got Landry, another big time talent. still doesn't matter when they keep going 7-9
I think Okoye would've been the better pick. It starts at the d-line and Okoye is only 19 years old. A flat out stud.

If Quinn is there, they would have to take him. He's a much better option than Culpepper.

That commercial wouldn't be so bad if they didn't play it every three minutes.
I know most of us want a safety, me included. But if one of the three good safeties are there and Ginn is there who do you want?
I'd take Nelson over Ginn, Ginn over Griffin/Meriweather.

Maybe it's worth the trade off, but I've always hated how Sheppard often doesn't wrap up and just goes in shoulder first. He sometimes throws airballs. In the Eagles scheme with alot of man/free mixed coverages and Dawk often the last line of defense in centerfield, I think the FS needs to be an especially strong tackler, maybe more than any other position.
Atlanta's gotta take a corner no?

It isn't like Nelson is a bad tackler, but he's just a bit sloppy. If he's there at 26, he'll easily be the best impact player on defense.

That could be a money call right there. Pair him up with Abraham (when he is oin the field). I think the Falcons were short on pass rush last season.

Yep... Okoye's got the Petrino connection. Jamaal Anderson's got the former Falcon Jamaal Anderson connection.

Now that Landry is gone they're definitely going to take a DL, but Okoye or Anderson seems 50/50 to me.
Anderson it is.

if mia doesn't go with quinn, could he be this year's aaron rogers?
Miami could take Okoye, they really need some youth on the line. Maybe Leon Hall.
If MIA doesn't take him, and theyd be stupid not to, the next spot I can see him going is Carolina at 14. Maybe Buffalo at 12 if they wanna get rid of Losman.
I bet WIp is lighting up with "Why arent the Eagles trading up for Quinn?!?!? McNabb suxors!!"
A lot of Irish fans in this area.
I think its Leon Hall.
I need to take a shtein, Miami better pick soon. It's either Quinn, Hall or Ginn.
Miami takes Ginn. Sick call on my part.

I really thought they would take Ginn, but if I only said Ginn and they went with the expected Quinn pick all of you would have said "what the farg are you thinking?"

They just paid Schaub $48M and gave up a 2 for him. Plus Rick Smith already named him the starter.
Damn, if Houston doesn't take Quinn... which I don't think they will... other options are:
Green Bay at 16? - but that would take them completely admitting that they don't think shtein of Aaron Rogers.

Green Bay at 16? - but that would take them completely admitting that they don't think shtein of Aaron Rogers.
Kansas City at 23? - They can't be that attatched to Huard... and what about their future there?
Does Chicago try to make a move?
CHI is a great point. They have Briggs to use as trade up bait. Briggs + a buncha other shtein should do it.
CAR @ 14
JAX @ 17
DAL @ 22
KC @ 23
Maybe Baltimore tries to get their asses up there to get him. McNair is old & Boller blows.
Bills, Jets, and 49ers on the phone with the Texans, per Schefter.
Houston takes Okoye, damn I'm good. And modest.
Houston takes Amobi Okoye

Luckily for me, I gave up on the Eagles getting Willis a long time ago. It would be awesome if they did, but dont get your hopes up.
the Eagles second round pick can get them up to about the 17th pick, maybe Willis falls that far. Still I'd rather see Griffin then RB in the second

Dis,
PFT reported that Braylon was on the block. Why? I dunno
miami is confusing. do they really think green is a long term solution? hell no.
short term do they really think their team is ready for run with a new coach, new system, and now possibly new QB?
or do the stick with culpepper. i dont know why but i still dont think culpepper is done and if i were miami i would go with him and draft a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round.
but if culpepper gets cut detroit would be stupid not to grab him.

You know there was something about that guy I didn't care for coming out of college. Couldn't put my finger on it but there was something. I think he was too perfectly packaged for me.
Quinn leaves the green room. Hoyda.
I don't understand why Miami didn't pick Quinn either. If I were them, I'd have been happy he was there when they picked.
Suzy Culver (who I must say is looking quite good lately I wonder what kind of junk she has in that trun...nevermind) was just on talkin about Quinn as though she was eulogizing him. Cut the dramatics the kid will still be a millionare in a matter of hours.

He wouldnt be there. Everyone thinks trade down and get a shteinload of picks, but it would have happened by pick 16 already.

This whole feel sorry for Quinn because he dropped is making me ill. The jerkoff is still going to be a millionaire.
I got respect for Rodgers because he sat there and took it like a man. Quinn is a vadge.
So who does BUF take?
I say Leon Hall.
And I hope Carriker is taken soon..I don't want him here. Dont give Andy and TOm any shot to trade up.

That was IGY. I just don't want a white DE in the first round. Too reminiscent of Mamula.
Hey STL..please GET CARRIKER!!
Hall, Revis or Meachem here, IMO
Well, GB has no RB to take now. I wonder if they get Mike Turner?
Or do they take Quinn so he can play with his brother in law Big Head AJ Hawk

Carolina has to take Quinn now. It would be monumentally dumber than Miami passing on him. They dont even have a viable option right now. Culpepper used to be a top 5 QB, so he's got a good track record. Delhomme has never been anything other than a good game manager.
They have Carr, i'd stick with him over Quinn

Jets trade for Quinn?
They are pretty big on Kellen Clemens from what I hear.
Hopefully the Jets take a corner, making Quinn fall to 17. That way the Jags take him (hopefully), making Nelson fall (although they arent high on him anyway, supposedly)
Panthers got a good deal.
Carolina gave their #14 and #191 for NYJ's #25, #59 and #164.
The Jets take Darrelle Revis.
Well this pretty much eliminates Olsen for the Eagles, the Panthers should take him at 25.
I kind of hope there is a run on CBs. If Houston or Ross is there with Nelson, the Eagles would go CB.
Why the hell did I wake up at 3 am today? Oh yeah, to watch NFL.com's Draft Tracker! :yay
The trade chart favors the Jets on this one -- 1,115 points in value from Carolina versus 1,055 points in value from the Jets.
From PFT
Jets take Revis. Good pick.
Wow, maybe they should do a story on how far Leon Hall is falling. Although he is probably being picked by the Steelers here.
This is where Hall should be going. He is way overhyped. He's good, but Revis is better.
Pittsburghs gotta go Leon Hall, no?

Know what? Carolina is gonna take Reggie Nelson one pick ahead of the Eagles. Watch.
Mort says Browns are calling around to trade up to get Quinn.
Pittsburgh's pick is already in. They take Timmons. I had him in one of my mocks. Awesome.
Wow. I really didn't see that coming. Timmons to the Steelers.
One more potential target for the Eagles gone.
Hall to Cincy now...gotta be. Unless GB steps in and scoops him up.

No doubt, ESPN has gone way overboard with the soap-opera melodrama. Goes along with their tabloid-like tendencies.
ESPN has become more about "entertainment" than sports.
I'm going to be really, seriously farging worried if Quinn somehow makes it to 26. The temptation for Reid to have no running backs in the backfield, and the option to have one of two guys chuck the ball may be too much for the fat bastich. "I can throw eighty times a game!"

Ha! I've noticed.
Branch's stock has been dropping for a week or two now with talk of his work ethic and stuff... so I'm not surprised with him.
I think with Hall.. it's more a case of Revis' stock rocketing so high more than Hall's falling.
If not Cincy... then Tennessee after that.
Maybe I'll launch myself out of this window. Sounds like a plan!!
Although before I changed the channel the argument between Mort and Young about Favre was mildly entertaining. Steve wants to cornhole Favre; Mort wants to cornhole Ted Thompson.

I'd rather have the safety. But if this guy is as good as his write up suggests maybe you have to take him. I think he has that ability to flex out and play DE also so if they can do with him what they did with Darwin maybe he can be dominant.

Cincy
Tenny
Jints
This Leon Hall thing feels like Justice last year. I swear I said "its GOTTA be Justice here" every pick until the Eagles took him
There's no way Hall lasts more than the next two picks. (CIN, TEN)
Which would be the best possible torture for Giants fans since they seem to want CB help so badly.
Hall won't last past Tennessee, thanks to Pacman being a complete douchethugface.
Unless Cincy goes Alan Branch and Tennessee goes Robert Meachem.
That would leave Leon for the Jints. Who need a CB because Madison is cooked and Webster blows.

Yeah, but Tennessee isn't likely to pass on Hall if he's there since Pac-Man is gone for the year and even when he comes back next year he'll always be a question as long as he's in the league.

Yup VaGints could also go safety as well. They pretty much suck all over that secondary. Also they have like two LBs on the roster.
Leon Hall to the Bengals.
Giant fans are pissed. :-D
I never thought of Alan Branch being remotely close to the Eagles pick at 26. If that big bastich is there, I don't know how I would feel if they nabbed him. I still think I want a safety more than anything, but at that point, is Branch a much more value-ridden pick?
Anybody else see Dwayne Jarrret run right by Leon Hall?

I never thought of Alan Branch being remotely close to the Eagles pick at 26. If that big bastich is there, I don't know how I would feel if they nabbed him. I still think I want a safety more than anything, but at that point, is Branch a much more value-ridden pick?
He certainly would be the run stuffer Eagles fans have been craving for years.
What if one of the next best wRs are there.
What do you do?

That's the thing though. The Eagles never ever get a run stuffer. They only get tackles that only outweigh their DEs by less than twenty pounds.

Oh the irony.
At least he doesn't get arrested though.
I'm thinking if Quinn somehow makes it to 26, you try to get the Browns, Lions, or Vikings to pay through the nose to move up and get him, otherwise you go Nelson, Griffin, Branch, Merriweather, Meachum, Bowe, in that order.

If he's the highest player on the board, they have to take him. Regardless of what positions they have drafted in the past. Like when DET took Johnson...despite taking WRs like crazy, they took BPA.
I want a safety, but if Branch is there they almost have to take him. They need defensive players bad.
So long as it isn't a goddamn OL or that Olson schmuck...
Hopefully the Eagles are getting offers to trade out. Keep falling, QUinn.

Its sickening to say, but Dallas is in prime position to get some picks. They sit at 22. One ahead of the Chiefs who need a QB.
At this point, I can't see Quinn falling past the Chiefs at 23. They can't be in love with Huard... and even though they grabbed Brody Croyle last year, they couldn't have imagined Quinn being anywhere near their reach.

The Eagles could really benefit from this kids miss(ed)fortune. I know the Browns want him and if the Eagles trade with them they will get a pick high in whatever subsequent rounds.

I don't know about that. They are also hurting bad for WR help. They've been pimping Croyle hard too all offseaon.
shtein, so long Griffen.
Michael Griffen to the Titans.
Takes away one of our safety nets... pun intended.
A little early for Griffin
farg. griffin gone :boo
Kind of suprising that they Griffin went there.
DAMNED TITANS.
That's gonna make the Gints take Nelson. Then the Eagles will pass on Merriwether cause of the character issues.
Gotta feelin I ain't gonna like this pick.
Griffin gone.
Hmmm.....if Nelson goes to CAR/NE or Meriweather goes to CAR/NE I don't like that.
I'd almost root for Chris Houston then because I am having nightmares about hearing Ben Grubbs or Olson's name.
KC is in a spot...they need OL. Do they take Staley? Common sense says they take Quinn if hes there. Unless Baltimore trades up (or someone else).
With Meachem, Jarrett and other WRs falling, Dallas could trade back and still get one.
Hopefully they take Poz.
The Jints could go WR here. Toomer is old. Plax is a jackass,
Meachem to help Eli?
NFLN said Jints made a quick selection... although they're still on the clock. Hopefully they took Poz.
My wife just asked me (she's not football smart, so she uses a good dose of logic), why don't they take that guy that is still there (Quinn), the guy they have (Manning) always plays bad .
I would laugh my farging balls off.
Ha!
Faulk just said the NFC East and mentioned the Eagles will run it down the Giants throat so they need defensive help. Marshall, Marshall, Marshal....pay attention. We throw.
What if Beason is available? I like him.
If it falls the way I think it may Branch is a foregone conclusion at this point.

ROSS :-D
my giants buddy is saying their boards are suggesting a trade with chicago b/c most of the gints picks are still on the board
I think he goes to the Pats...Beason, that is.
Aaron Ross to the Jints.
Sooo....
Eagles are looking at Meriweather, Nelson, Branch, Houston.....still on board
It looks like the run on DBs has begun, somewhat of a suprising pick, but a pretty good one.
I do not want to see them take Houston, he had 0 ints last season.
It would be sweet if they do like last year to an extent, get the guy they like in the first (Merriweather, Nelson, WR,) and the trade up right quick to grab Branch if he drops out of the first. Then the guy in the first round can be invisible, and the guy from the second can "keep coming along...." Roxor.

Same thought here, I wouldn't mind adding more picks to add to this defense.
Did the toll free donation lines supporting Brady Quinn open up yet? I would like to make a donation.

fargers. Now I want the Eagles to trade down.
Damned Jaggoffs.
That sucks. He was the best guy for the job in my opinion. I'm really not so nuts about Merriweather. I don't think Beason or Branch make it to us.....so, uh, WR?

Cmon Meriweather or Spencer!
I knew they were going to take him because they had their pick in after like 4 minutes. If it was Quinn, they would have just taken him at 17. farg. Im not even pissed...just kind of depressed.

Hell, even would be cool with Robert Meachem.
I hope Dallas takes Quinn.
If Dallas picks and does not trade out, I hope to god Quinn falls and the Eagles trade out.
PLEASE!
but wasn't Nelson more of a strictly FS? The Eagles really need a SS, I think next year is the year to go FS as Dawk still has at least 2 good years left.
I would rather see Dwayne Jarrett or Bowe than Meachem. If I were Dallas I would take Bowe.
I just heard Gil Brandt say Merriweather was registered for the gun.
I'm not going to be thrilled with any pick. I guess at this point Houston is the best possible pick but I'm not thrilled on it. I like Spencer too, but I really dont feel like getting a 5th DE. Maybe if Quinn is there at 26, trade the pick for Miami's two 2nd rounders and a later pick.

Cleveland's on the phone with DAL offering their 3rd this year and next year's #1 to swap.... :boo
Staley is still on the board. andy loves him some oline even when we don't need one haha.
Dallas is definately going WR. Remember Skeletor, "I would prefer it be on the offensive side of the ball...."
Farg, Shefter saying Browns are offering their first pick next year and this year's third to dance with Dallas' pick.
That is most likely going to be a high farging pick next year. That would suck nuts.

That makes no sense, obviously.
They'd have to be positive that KC would select him. Herm Edwards is a defensive kind of guy, and it sounded like they were real high on Croyle. They had pretty much resigned themselves to letting Green go, and they never expected to be in place to nab Quinn. I really don't think they would take him if he was there. I gotta hope that Skeletor screws the pooch and the Birds work something out....
KC's offensive line is trash too.

If true, I wouldnt be surprised if Dallas turns that shtein down. They get absolutely nothing for this year. Meanwhile, all their OL gets older, so do their CBs and WRs.
Ed, Zbikowski sucks as a prospect. Kenny Phillips is 15x better than him, and is also going to go in the top 6 like Landry and Taylor. Zack Bowman from Nebraska is a real good prospect. Other then those two, really bad though.
Wow, no one wants Meriweather? I think he'd be a great fit.

Dallas still has the rest of their draft to address that.
They now also have a top 10... maybe even a top 5 pick next year in addition to their own 1st rounder. That ain't good.
CORRECTION: Dallas just got CLE's
2nd round pick in this year's draft... not their 3rd. :boom
great trade by Dallas, i hate the fargers but good job
yep, 36th overall and 2008 #1.
I hate Jerrah and I hate my boy for blowing up my phone now bragging. Bitchass punk.
Yeah, they will probably aderess those positions. But those are their BEST players. Rivera, Owens, both Glenns, etc. No one will be able to fill their shoes that quickly.
I highly doubt it's top 5 next year. The Browns have a lot of good players, they really need to adderss defensive line though. Should have a real good offense next year with a good to great offensive line (if Bentley comes back), Jamal Lewis, Quinn, Edwards, Jurevicious, Winslow, etc.
So...Kansas City has needed a WR since the days of JJ Birden and Stephone Paige.
Meachem, Jarrett, Bowe?
Or do they go Houston or Branch?
I can't imagine that particular scenario going any worse for the Eagles.
I really really want them to get Beason now.
I wouldnt mind them getting Jarrett at this point, but Beason would be Real Nice
Dallas will get a WR at 36, I bet
Im a quasi-Browns fan now. Just for this season though...
No way Beason and Branch make it to the Birds. Especially Beason. I gotta think the Birds go WR, and grab a CB in the second. Think there are any interested parties to partner with to move back??
If Chris Houston is there I GUARANTEE he is the pick. I wouldnt be thrilled with it, but they would almost definitely go with him.

He seems like a mirror image of Shelton and Lito.
No protections on NFL picks. The teams ahead of Dallas wanted the guys they took...
Chiefs with Joe Staley here I bet.
Dammit. It figures that the farging cowboys would be the beneficiaries of Quinn's freefall. That shtein really pisses me off.

Nope, Dwayne Bowe.

The only feeling I will have about the Eagles pick is going to be anger if they reach on someone. Everyone else is okay but no one is going to be great value that fills a need.
Watch this swift kick in the balls we're fixin to get...
NE will take Beason
CAR will take Meriweather
PHI will take that goddamn TE
I am starting to get that bad feeling in my gut. They're going to pick someone outta left field. Like Ryan Kalil or some shtein. I have to go pick out what I am going to break in my house....
The wrench and savior could wind up being Spencer, he's a NE kind of guy. Carolina could also go with Kalil, Staley, or that hippy TE from Miami. That being said, both Branch and Beason will be on the board, and the Birds won't tap either.

JON BEASON! Take him, Andy. DO IT.
And lets all pray that Fox takes the TE.
The Panthers will take Beason here. Book it.
feva...wow, take a Valium. :-D
With the 25th pick in the 2007 NFL Draft... the Carolina Panthers select Jon Beason, Linebacker, University of Miami.
Maybe this year can be the exact opposite of last year in which we were all pumped because everything seemed to go right and that draft helped us very little presently.
Oh wait, nevermind, good things don't happen to Philly sports teams.
just curious...does anyone remember last year's draft?
WE NEED BEASON, but i have a horrid feelin they will take a WR. OR BETTER YET, OL. I can live with a WR, but OL or DL, not first round, please.
AND WE PRAY BEASON :evil

No, obviously we dont.
Last years draft has absolutely nothing to do with this years, it's stupid to even bring it up.
If Beason isn't there, I have no worries, I'd love to have him, but you have Branch, Meachum, Poz, and Houston still there. Neither are exactly who I want, but wouldn't be bad picks. I just keep thinking of Branch collapsing the pocket and Cole, Kearse, et all, chasing a scared Eli/Romo/Cambell around as a way to keep myself from throwing a shoe through the window when they announce Beason to the Panthers.
My money is on the Panthers not taking Beason, and the Birds not taking him as well.

farg yeah I said it.
I would love Poz to be an Eagle, it would be a dream come true for me.
lol...not in this household
Say what you will, but he is a helluva football player
I guess it will be Branch or a WR.
Its going to be Chris Houston.
I would prefer Alan Branch.
No Ben Grubbs. No Joe Staley. No farging TE.
Actually, I would prefer to trade the farg out.
Maybe Baltimore wants to trade up to get Joe Staley.
this is actually quite funny now.
more drano please.

but hey, all of that anger you guys spew is DEFINITELY useful :yay
hearing the birds fight song in the background has cheered me up.
if the eagles pick olsen....wont that make the LJ haters happy? lmfao
Robert Meachum or Alan Branch. Houston would farging piss me off.
No Houston please! or any OL. Give me Branch or Poz!
damn this is like the playoffs :boom
Where the farg is MURP?
TRADE

Samson Satele Hawaii Center!
Dallas??
WTF?
DALLAS?!?!?!?
BRAIN LEONARD~!~~~~
Traded to Dallas. Good deal im assuming.
Dallas is taking Branch or Meachem.
with the farging cowgirls
No Poz either.
Trade this shtein.
TO is back!!!!!!! :crazy
Who cares who the trade is with? There is no positive or negative in a draft trade unless a team got absolutely raped.
They better have farging raped Dallas. Watch they got Julius Jones as well.
Quote from: PhillyGirl on April 28, 2007, 05:00:37 PM

Funny thing - that was my first thought. :-D
It will be interesting to see what the actual terms are.
Yes!!
2nd 3rd and a 5th
Great move to trade out, Andy
2, 3 and 5
Mis read, not bad.
excellent trade.
I just walked in the door with Philly on the clock...and now a trade! Good.
2nd
3rd
and 5th
You gotta figure that Branch has the highest rating at this point. You can probably wait on an offensive player the way defense is being eaten up in rnd one.
They trade down with the Cowgirls?
Not a bad trade. Really hope it's Cleveland's 2nd, not Dallas'.
Seabiscuit, are you serious?
2nd rounder is the 36th pick too, basically moved down 10 spots for 2 xtra picks.
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on April 28, 2007, 05:02:10 PM

Which overall picks? 36 or 53 in the 2nd? 87. 159.
You people are killing the server today. Just so you know.
Which 2nd is it?
#36
#57
#87
#90
#159
#162
36
cleveland's pick???
This gives them an excuse to take Brian Leonard with their first pick.
Brian Leonard, Wright out of UNLV, and Rufus Alexander/Anthony Waters from here on out....

Not me. I just got here... Five hours of watching the draft to see a trade... awesome stuff. :D
Mis read originally there... Im all about Leonard at 36

They got 730 points in return

I like it after getting over the fact that they traded with Dallas. Makes up for not having that 4th by grabbing an extra third and second.
Well, all of the Eagles mock drafts in the contests are farged.
Dallas took Anthony Spencer. farg! I really like him. Ware and Spencer are going to kill people..
Anthony Spencer
Bwaahaha...Deion says "You gotta be kidding me"
Irrelevant and not all that interesting factoid that'll be buried in the draft talk... Tyreo Harrison (yes that one) works for my company down here in SA....

I was praying Spencer was still available at #36.
Deion's trashing the pick... in a completely non-biased manner, btw. :-D
As far as everyone who said the entire draft is going to suck, they've got 4 picks in the top 90 slots. I wouldnt have been real happy with whoever the 1st round pick was, but now they're going to get a DE on the level of Spencer (Woodley or Ikaika, thats for you Don Ho) and a couple of other talented guys. Cant make any judgements now.
what is Deion saying?

I was just thinking about good ol' Tyreo the other day. Why? Because I was wondering when the last time the Eagles had a #55 who didn't suck ass.
Ken Rose as a STer in the 90's?
Caver = trash
Ray Farmer = trash
Dhani = garbage

nice trade...as soon as merriweather was gone, i knew the eagles would trade out of the pick.

On ESPN or NFLN, cant remember which, they were talking about how the Giants need a LB, because, and I quote:
"Dhani Jones isnt as good as he used to be with the Eagles"
I'm surprised no one else noticed that.
Anyways, time to go rustle up some grub and chill out. However I am still worried about that damn TE or an OL.
i like getting more picks especially since all the safeties highly rated were gone but why with dallas? a divisional rival? what if spencer and ware injure mcnabb for the season?
and why didnt we move up to get nelson? as soon as the giants passed on him we should have moved up. wtf i come back from the gym just in time for the eagles pick to find out all the safeties are gone and we moved down.
Quote from: Don Ho on April 28, 2007, 05:10:43 PM

What??? who gives a flying crap!
Brian. Leonard.
Please make it happen.
Why would the Eagles have moved up for Nelson? I'm a huge fan of his, but when have they shown they value the safety position enough to trade up for one, especially when they have literally said that they can get them in the middle rounds. How do you know Jacksonville would have traded the pick anyways? They practically sprinted up to the podium at 21.

I really wouldn't mind seeing them go after Eric Wright. He never even had charges filed against him in his supposed rape case and drug deal. Other than that he has never been in trouble.

Marshall Faulk said that....
Anyway, I like the trade, more young players to add to the defense.
the Eagles also traded with dallass a couple of years ago and they picked Marcus Spears. Spears said he couldn't do much with Parcells scheme, but will be able to do alot more this year. I'm still waiting to see how that one works out in the end. I think the Eagles used the material from that trade to move up last year, maybe for Gocong or MJG.
that whitebread qb from byu would be money. :yay
Saints take Robert Meachem.
Jesus... that offense is gonna be ridiculous.
See ya David Harris.
Top names still available:
QB - Drew Stanton, Trent Edwards, John Beck

WR - Jarrett, Sidney Rice

well they havent/dont, but thats why i was frustrated. safety and LB are need positions and i thought we would have been to get at least one of the top 3. oh well #36 is not that bad but trading with dallas, or any nfc east rival just irks me.

Patriots trade down with San Francisco
49ers take Joe Staley
well, he can take games off if he stops the run in the ones he doesn't take off.

that's right, canty. I think he was considered potentially a first or second round talent but had alot of physical questions including an eye injury.
Jesus...NE got SFs 2008 #1 pick and a 4th.
Well at this point I just am not excited about anybody that's left. I know that sounds crazy but with the top safties and Lbs gone I just am not fellin it right now.
You have to imagine the top tallent is on offense for a while after the huge run they just had on the defensive side of the ball.

Um, yeah, apparently Spads and Merrill said on EaglesLive that they see a QB being taken in this round.
For the love of my health and my house, they better not.
A 2, 3 & a 5 is a nice birthday present, Jay. They robbed Dallas blind on that. Hell, the difference between the 26 & 36 isn't shtein plus they get a 3 and a 5 out of the deal.

Which is a crock. There's no excuse for that. 10 minutes is plenty of time for a team to pick or deal. This is nonsense.
I would be happy with:
Woodley, Branch, Jarrett, Houston
Cardinals on the clock
Swap of 2nds and gave up their 4th
No QB, please.
Branch to ARZ
Cards just took Branch
ARZ luvs sum Michigan DT's. (Gabe Watson last year)
Buffalo now has #34
Swap of 2nds and gave up their 3rd
this is when it really sucks. espn starts ass licking guys like Belichick and do these interviews while teams are picking in the second round. we get to look forward to the birds pick scroll across the screen.
Poz is going to Buffalo I bet.
Yep
I'm on the phone with my brother who was pissed because he didn't think they could get Poz. Now he's doing cartwheels. :-D
Eagles could still get Houston at 36.
The Bills fans around here are going to be pretty happy.
Spikes > Poz
They said early today that Levy loved Poz...
any idea what ARZ and BUF gave up?
Arizona gave their 2nd and 4th. Buffalo gave their 2nd and 3rd.
33 = 38 + 105
34 = 43 + 74
Thanks, fellas.
So who do they take?
Houston?
Thats my guess.
Here we go...again. :paranoid
Buccaneers take Arron Sears
Houston still available? Take him. Sure. I guess.
Houston, Harris, Jarrett.
Please not Leonard here.
Houston, I guess?
I hope it's Houston. I dont mind him while picking up an extra 3rd and 5th.

Bulllllllllllllllllllllllllshtein!
Great...now the "donovan is done" shtein is going to start.
farg these losers
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeach
Maybe we don't have a scouting department. Maybe Andy ate them.
Their first pick is a farging QB? Almost 7 hours for a quarterback? You've got to be shteinting me.
I can't believe they took him there, I think they could have gotten him later in the round.
what a farging bullshtein pick...
Mel had him late 2nd, or a 3rd round pick, they take him with their 1st second round pick
What a waste of the 36th fargin pick. Andy Reid blows the draft again. Way to go loser!
This guy looks like a young Garcia.
Waste a pick? Sure! Let's go get some quick guys with a high motor next!
ESPN hates this pick
He is a very good QB but not this high.
farg you steve young.
This has to mean a trade is coming.
That bang you just heard was the server for the Eagles MB blowing up.

I was hoping they would take Kolb, I saw him play a couple of times being here in TX. But damn I didn't want to see him there.
I liked Kolb but WTF, this team is retarded. Paging PG....
Oh man, they should totally trade AJ to the Dolphins again.
all of their farging needs, and they reach to take a position where they have 3 established NFL players...farging retarded
I cannot believe this shtein. Simply cannot believe it.

Well, anyone who was looking for immediate improvement will have to be happy with a player who probably won't contribute at all until 2009-2010.
CSN has no idea why they picked a QB
This makes absolutely no sense. Of all the positions they could have gone with......this is just baffling. I mean....I'm so confused by it's absurdity, I'm not even pissed......
I don't even know what to say. Completely ridiculous in every way. Not even the third best qb available, not the fourth either... no they take the fifth highest rated quarterback who likely won't even make the team.
Unbelievable. JON HARRIS UNBELIEVABLE.
So, they pass up Chris Houston and David Harris, two established 1st rounders, at huge positions of need, for a QB.
Same, PPinDC. I dont get it. Wow.
Rome, that was one of the worst posts I've seen today? He's not going to make the team? Bullshtein Rome. Unless you consider 25 year old Beck a better option, or a guy who misses more time than McNabb in Trent Edwards.
saw him play in the Hawaii Bowl against UH 4 years ago when he was a freshman. That was the game that had the huge fight after Hawaii won in OT. Kolb looked very good for a freshman. I have to admit I was very impressed with the guy. all said and done, i am still shocked.
some other team must have been high on him.

Lance Crawford (CSN) says the Eagles opened a HUGE can of worms and WIP will be having a field day the rest of the night...
So Donovan has what, a year left here then?
You don't draft a QB right now to play 3 years from now.
Oh well. Who cares about CB, LB, S, or DE; obviously the D being horrid against the run last year was not a problem.

He was a projected 4th round pick. Why bother with trading for extra picks if your going to throw them away?
A trip down memory lane...
QuoteThe last time the Eagles didn't make a pick in the first round was 1992, when they selected running back Siran Stacy in the second round.
Pointing and Laughing at US :'(
donovan is done.
WHAT THE farg!! Why in the hell would we do that???? We have 3 QBs on the roster, I understand the injury concerns with McNabb but next year's draft is absolutely stacked with QBs, the obvious move is to wait and see if he can come back then take a guy next year if he can't.
What this also means is that we made the trade with Dallas to target this guy....unfargingbelievable.

Dwayne Jarrett is sitting there. Ryan Kalil is sitting there. And they take a quarterback. The LB from Michigan is there.
Either Donovan is totally shot or that might go down as the most nonsensical pick in history.
This is seriously lunacy... a farging QB. They've had two and traded for a third and now drafted another with their first pick after trading out of the first round? There's NO explanation for this. None.

Dave keeps saying the Eagles want to draft the "best player on the board"; not the "best player on the board in a position of need". That is just plain stupid. Really stupid. So, should the Eagles draft an OG to take over for Andrews because it was the "best player on the board". Of course not, because only one person could play the OG position.
Same with QB. The Eagles can only put one on the field at a time. Ridiculous pick. I would have to think that the Eagles feel Donovan is done either next year or, at the most, the year after that.
Otherwise, there is no reason to pick a QB so early in the draft.
I'm fine with Kolb in the second round, but with your very first pick when much better options are there on defense at positions of need? Jesus.

QuoteAs Draft Nears, Eagles Say McNabb Is Their Future
New York Times
April 23, 2007
Donovan McNabb has had a season-ending injury in each of the last two seasons.
Considering that history, and that McNabb is 30, some believe that the Philadelphia Eagles should select a young quarterback in this weekend's N.F.L. draft.
Last season, Jeff Garcia filled in superbly after McNabb tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, leading the Eagles to the playoffs and a division championship. But Garcia signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a free agent in March, leaving A. J. Feeley and Kelly Holcomb as McNabb's backups.
The Eagles insist that they remain comfortable with McNabb as their No. 1 quarterback and say they will focus on other positions with the 26th pick in Saturday's first round. With only two quarterbacks — JaMarcus Russell of Louisiana State and Brady Quinn of Notre Dame — expected to be selected in the first round, this is not an optimum year for the Eagles to burn a high pick on a project quarterback when they have more pressing needs on defense, particularly in the secondary.
"We think Donovan's coming back healthy, he looks great, and we have A. J.," said Tom Heckert, the Eagles' general manager, when asked about Philadelphia's quarterback situation during a roundtable with reporters Monday.
"Even last year, he played great until he got hurt," Heckert said of McNabb. "He's still a heck of a player."
....
"I honestly can't sit here and tell you who we are going to draft," he said.
But in Philadelphia, drafting a quarterback is still not a top priority.
Quote
OVERVIEW
During the 1989-1990 seasons, the Cougars featured a run-and-shoot offense that brought about a resurgence of the collegiate aerial game. All-American quarterbacks Andre Ware (1989) and David Klingler (1990) led the nation in total offense during those years, but the Houston offense was then stagnant for more than a decade. That all changed with the arrival of Kolb in 2003.
Kolb became the first true freshman in school history to start a season opener at quarterback for the Cougars. Once he was named the team's starter, he never relinquished the job.
Kolb was a standout quarterback at Stephenville High School. He was a member of the Dallas Morning News Top Area 100 squad and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram State Top 100 list. He was rated the 20th-best player in the Big 12 Region by Heartland Recruiting and earned Max Emfinger Texas Super All-State Team honors as well as the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal State Fab 44 accolades.
The two-time District 8-4A Offensive MVP was also picked first-team All-Big County by the Abilene Reporter News. He was selected honorable mention all-state in 2002 and picked second-team Academic All-State. As a senior, Kolb completed 206 of 321 attempts for 3,357 yards and 29 touchdowns, while also tacking on an additional 197 yards rushing.
Recruited by most of the Big 12 Conference schools, Kolb decided to enroll at Houston. He went on to earn Freshman All-American third-team honors from The Sporting News and was named Conference USA Freshman of the Year in 2003. His passing efficiency rating of 153.75 was the second-highest season total in school history. He hit on 220 of 360 passes (61.1 percent) for 3,131 yards, 25 touchdowns and only six interceptions. He added seven scores on 139 carries, picking up 346 yards (2.5 average). He also averaged 267.5 yards per game in total offense, but had 15 fumbles, with the opposition recovering four of those miscues.
In 2004, Kolb threw for 2,766 yards on 198 of 353 attempts (56.1 percent), with 11 touchdowns and six interceptions. He rushed 118 times for 51 yards (0.4 avg.) and five scores, finishing with 2,817 yards in total offense. He fumbled eight times and had 48 passes deflected while being sacked a career-high 42 times.
Kolb was a third-team All-Conference USA choice in 2005. He led the team to the Fort Worth Bowl, connecting on 254 of 420 passes (60.5 percent) for 3,258 yards, 19 touchdowns and a career-high 15 interceptions. He ranked third on the team with 200 yards on 104 carries (1.9 avg.), scoring five times. He also amassed 3,458 yards in total offense while recording two tackles and breaking up one pass. He reduced his fumbles to a career-low five, as the opposition recovered two, but had a career-high 54 passes deflected and was sacked 29 times.
The media caught attention to Kolb in 2006 as he put together one of the finest seasons in Houston history. The Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year, Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award finalist and Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award semifinalist ranked fifth in the nation in passing efficiency (162.72 rating), eighth in total offense (283.07 ypg), 10th in points responsible for (14.57 ppg) and sixth in passing yardage (3,809).
Kolb connected on 292 of 432 passes (67.6 percent) with 30 touchdowns and four interceptions. He rushed 111 times for 154 yards (1.4 avg.) and four scores, gaining 3,963 yards in total offense. He was sacked 33 times, but turned the ball over just once on a fumble. He also recorded two tackles (both came tackling the defender who intercepted his pass).
The Houston mainstay would set a school record by starting all 50 games he played in. He holds virtually every passing and total offense record at the school and in Conference USA. He connected on 964 of 1,565 passes (61.6 percent) for 12,964 yards, 85 touchdowns and 31 interceptions. He gained 751 yards with 21 scores on 472 carries (1.6 avg.) and posted four solo tackles with a pass deflection. On 2,037 plays, he accounted for 13,715 yards in total offense and was responsible for 106 touchdowns.
ANALYSIS
Positives: Has good size with adequate muscle definition, losing more than 10 pounds of "baby fat" in the last year to improve his agility rolling out of the pocket ... Mobile passer with the nimble feet to make all of his throws when rolling out of the pocket ... Short strider who has the change-of-direction agility to sidestep the initial tackler, doing an effective job of throwing from either of the outside hashes ... Loves the challenge in pressure situations and remains cool in the backfield, despite numerous protection breakdowns (was sacked 33 times in 2006, but fumbled only once), as he is also very conscious of protecting the ball to prevent the costly fumble ... Makes good on-field adjustments and checks on the pre-snap and is alert to zone coverages ... Worked hard with the team's new strength coach before the 2006 season and the trimmed frame and added strength allowed him to stand tall in the pocket ... Puts nice touch and velocity on his short-to-intermediate throws ... Displays good arm strength and accuracy on sideline, screens, slants and crossing routes ... Has enough foot speed and balance to be a threat running with the ball and shows good body control in his pass set-up ... Can slide and avoid, doing a nice job of escaping pressure and creating when on the move ... Does whatever he can to stay alive in the pocket, as he picks up defensive schemes quickly and has no problems taking plays from the chalkboard to the field ... Best when making calls at the line of scrimmage, as he does a very good job of scanning the field ... Can pull the ball down and make something out of a broken play with his feet and is accurate throwing on the move ... Has adequate quickness dropping back from center to his pass-set point and is able to get good depth due to his fine balance and quick feet ... The thing you see on 2006 film is that he now does a much better job of setting his feet and stepping into his throws than in past seasons ... The ball comes off Kolb's hand with average zip and good touch as he knows how to step towards his target and maintain balance following through with his passes ... When he uses a three-quarter release and steps into his throws, his release is much more compact and natural ... Throws a tight spiral that receivers don't have to come back on when operating in tight spaces ... Throws the long ball with adequate touch and accuracy, zips the posts and even when he passes off his back foot, he is still able to generate good velocity ... Patient sitting in the pocket and scanning the field, locating his secondary targets with good efficiency ... Shows better accuracy with underneath tosses than on long throws, but does an effective job of keeping the receiver in his route progression without having to break stride ... Puts good air behind the short fade routes, knowing when to take something off those throws ... Can zip the pass into tight coverage away from the defender, demonstrating good placement and has the awareness and ability to slide in the pocket and continue to scan down field ... Knows where all of his targets are and will throw the ball away rather than force the issue when all are covered ... Does a good job of squaring his shoulders and driving with his legs to break tackles when forced to run with the ball ... Has the vision to pick his spots to run to and is quick to slide and avoid being punished when the defender closes on his rushing attempt ... Self-starter who has been a great program player and unquestioned leader ever since first stepping into the huddle as a freshman ... Vocal leader, but not the type who appears arrogant, like some quarterbacks tend to be.
Negatives: Has a soft midsection, high-cut calves and thin ankles ... Forced the ball more often during his junior year, as he ran through several streaks where he simply threw right to the opposition, resulting in 15 interceptions after having only 12 during his first two years combined ... However, he did improve dramatically in this area as a senior ... When he holds on to the ball too long, he will be forced to improvise and the result was generally not good (lots of fumbles due to poor ball security) ... His problems throwing the ball away came when he threw it to dangerous spots on the field where there was no receiver in sight ... Has a nice over-the-top release, but sometimes will wind up (no major issues though) ... When he carries the ball too low, it slows down his delivery a bit ... When pressured and forced to roll out, he had a little bit of a problem, as his receivers did have to adjust a bit ... In the past, he was known as a streaky performer, but he became a much better rhythm passer in 2006 due to his ability to scan the field and be more patient waiting for his receivers to get free ... Stands in the pocket taking vicious hits trying to make the pass play because of poor protection throughout his career and needs to throw the ball away more rather than try to create something out of nothing.
Compares To: Jay Cutler, Denver Broncos ... Before his senior season, Kolb was reminiscent of David Carr -- blessed with good arm strength, but too streaky in his performance ... With added maturity, a trimmer body and a stronger arm, he has elevated his status to the top of the position.
Christ. This is going to take awhile to make sense. There
HAS to be some logical reason they did this......trade? McNabb not doing well in rehab? He secretly has the tools to become a WR ala Matt Jones? shtein

SMOKESCREEN WORKED THIS TIME, MOTHERfargER!
OMG THE DOLPHINS WOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM OTHERWISE!
I'm just surprised they didn't take Beck if they were going to take a QB. Is Kolb a Mormon too?
Stated differently, there is a very good chance the Eagles think that Donovan will not finish out his contract in Philly.
So, he was a 4 year player? He's going to be 23 this year. In 3 years time, he'll be 26 before he probably gets an opportunity to start. Just doesn't make much sense right now. None at all. Maybe a QB next year. More definitely one after that. But right now -- stunning.
QuoteVery experienced. 4 year starter. Threw for over 12,000 yds. Had 85 TD passes, but only 31 INTs. Ran for a surprising 21 TDs. Durable. Didn't miss a start in 4 years. Has played in the same offensive system since HS. That is a bit of a concern. How easily will he adjust to a new offense? Good combo of size, skill, experience, and athleticism. Runs okay. Will scramble if he has open field. Had a 46 yd TD run in C-USA title game. Can make throws from all sorts of angles and positions. Can throw on the move. Can create plays. Was pressured vs Miami. Moved around in pocket and then flipped the ball to his RB, who ran for a medium gain. Has a good, but not great arm. Makes good decisions. Accurate. Houston's offense is based on a lot of RAC yds. Kolb can hit guys on the move. Also throws a very catchable ball. Good touch and good pace on his short throws. Doesn't force the ball. Solid mechanically. His offensive system featured a lot of shotgun and a lot of short, quick throws, so he will have to adjust to dropping back and making reads. Played in the Senior Bowl and looked pretty comfortable running an NFL offense down there. Adjusted better than Chris Leak or Troy Smith. Showed a good pocket presence. Made good reads. Also looked good at his Pro Day. Reminds me of Kellen Clemens from last year's draft class.
SUMMARY
I like Kevin a lot. I think he's the #3 QB and a 2nd Rd player. I see him as a starting NFL QB.
ge99's scouting report, which is generally much better than the other garbage out there.
i guess this team is in rebuilding mode.
Kolb is on a conference call on Eagles Live and he said even HE had no idea he'd go this early.
Thats wonderful he'll be an NFL starting qb. But we already have one.
Or did have one. Something is going on. McNabb might be gone before we even expect it.
:o :o
It's not who they picked, but where and most importantly, WHY (or the lack there of). It just makes no God damn sense.

Can they trade McNabb to Chicago for Briggs and... somebody? Something?
Exactly, why? It makes no farging sense!
They wanted Meriweather and Beason and all of a sudden they don't think they need defense? Wtf is going on?
It seems to me that they have no intention of winning anything this year.
They are rebuilding. They have to be.
I don't know who they have targetted for the rest of this day but nobody they draft fro this point forward will be any help to them this year unless they get some kind of special teams demon or something.
Maybe if they take a RB...I...

All you people keep saying they don't want to win this year, but if you ask the "Experts" they all say that the Eagles don't have a specific need.
So where are the experts...the paid ones on ESPN and other networks or you people? I think i'll go with the the paid guys.
The ONLY logical explanations are that they want someone lower in the round and are going to trade Kolb for a 2nd and 3rd rounder. They took Kolb because that other team wanted him and they couldn't work out a deal yet.
or... they play to trade up into the 2nd again and take someone along with their other 2nd rounder, and didn't think Kolb would be there.
He's on WIP right now. Said he was completely shocked. Knew Philly liked him, but has absolutely no clue it would be IN THE SECOND ROUND.
A cowboys fan from Stephenville...what a shteinhole of a town
at least they have a top 5 defense and they didn't have any need with this pick

Yeah, they know as much as we do and they're all just as perplexed as everyone else is... the pick, where they made it, makes no sense no matter how you spin it.
I already said i hated the pick earlier, but i'm posting about the all the people saying that the Eagles don't want to win this year. That's absurd.
I think they're looking at it from the point of view that the D sucked so much ASS last year they cost the team the NO playoff game (and regular season game) and the Bucs game because they could barely stop teams from chewing all the clock at the end of the game. So in that regard... there was players available that could help a lot more quickly than Kolb will because they'll have a greater chance to see the field SOONER than Kolb will. He has almost NO chance to see the field this year in any fashion. Almost any other position drafted that high would have and would have a greater chance to make a more immediate impact.
I just broke out the Jameson's. Im gonna bust a bottle over someone's farging head before the night ends.

Why the farg does Pittsburgh take Woodley.
He was their plan B since the Eagles took Kolb.
Ever since the front office was right about Mcnabb, and a decent portion of the fans were wrong about Ricky williams, the front office thinks they are infalliable, and can make any bonehead move they want. This is a disastrous pick of monumental proportions.

Because they get it.
if we were just going to throw our pick away on a qb, why not do a new england and trade to san fran for their 2008 1st round pick. the qb we could get in the top 10 is a lot better then Kolbert.
So if Quinn was available at 26, I guess we would have taken him?
BRILLIANT!
farg em all.
quinn is one thing, but fargin kolb!>!>!>!>!>!>>!>>>>>??lord have mercy on my liver
The day could still be somewhat saved. It's a longshot, but possible.
The Eagles erased everything they did in FA with this draft day. The FO is a joke. They think their defense is fine.
watch it be the best ever. kolb is the nxt tom brady. farg chunky soup...championship!
So, what players are left that people would want?
if we got quinn instead of kolb i would have been essastic. Atleast brady was supposed to go in the first round, kolb shouldn't have sniffed the second.
So who do we get at 57? Trent Edwards? Troy Smith?
Seriously you guys need to calm down. It's one of the dumbest picks in the entire farging draft, but it isnt like Kolb is an awful player. He had/has the value of a late 2nd round pick that the Eagles obviously thought better of. One pick doesnt ruin an entire draft, it might seem that way as of now, but they still have three day 1 picks left. I'm not saying it's going to get any better...but given what the Eagles have left, it could be worse.

How??? The day would have been fine if they grabbed a LB/S/RB first and Kolb or whomever second. Or if they were that worried about losing Kolb, trade some of the garbage second day picks (since they waste them anyway and sign a ton of UDFAs) and move up the second second or into the early third.
Seriously. What was the point of even farging trading down? They wanted Kolb? They should've just taken frickin Spencer at 26.

I wasted an entire Saturday standing in line waiting to get into Radio City at 5am, to be one of the first to be told tix were all given out - 3.5 hours later.
Then I wasted the rest of my day waiting in anticipation to hear who the Eagles were going to take. And then they select Kevin Kolb. Kevin farging Kolb.

I KNOW IT IS AN AWFUL PICK. It's one of the dumbest moves they've made in the past decade. But it's
one pick. I'm farging pissed that I waited 7 hours to see them pick a goddamn QB. There is no sense in completely giving up on the Eagles because of one pick, because no one has any idea what they're going to do with him. I know the pick was absolutely retarded. It isnt the type of pick that's going to set back the team for years. They still have 3 first day picks. See who they end up with first, then bitch and moan. If the rest of their first day is zesty, I'll be bitching and moaning with you.

Well it is not quite Jon Harris worthy, one it wasn't a first rounder and two Kolb actually has been a productive football player.

Eagles lose out again!
Mike Williams and Josh McCown to the Raiders for a 4th round pick (I think?)
More Olineman wouldnt shock me. The Gold standard is drafting for the 2010 season now..........Visionarys!
They got Stanton. McCown became expendable. Mike Williams sure lost value, and so did McCown for that matter. They could only get a 4th rounder for those two?
Die-Hard's now booking a flight to go to St. Louis to punch a Rams fan in the face
Cleveland just traded to 53, Dallas traded out. No doubt they are getting the 2008 2nd round pick.
Kolb's throwing motion looks like David Carr's. His arm drops close to be at the same level as his shoulder. Wonder if that will be a problem at all that the Eagles are going to have to work on with him.

I actually like Kolb. Never dreamed he'd be an Eagles. Esp. with the 1st pick.
The only thing I can rationally think of is that McNabb isn't progressing like the Eagles were hoping he would, or they are planning on jettisoning him before another year or two is over.
Otherwise, it is a mistake of historical proportions.
Even if it is, it was a reach - a terrible pick.
Did you all realize that Indy gave up their 2008 #1 to move up in the 2nd round?!?!
SF got a 4 this year and a #1 in 2008 for the 42nd overall pick this year.
Everyone is getting 2008 #1s except the Eagles.
his recovery this year has no bearing on Kolb. if Donovan can't play right away this year, they have Feeley and Holcomb.
this is strictly a move for the future...and one that didn't need to be made this year
Roses are red violets are blue I hope Kolb gets AIDS and SARS too.
I'd be willing to bet that Kolb is the lQB answer if McNabb is out for an extended period of time, but Feeley plays in a pinch.

It's obvious this Abiamiri guy isn't undersized per se... but they've sucked at picking DL in the first round, so I'm not exactly optimistic about this guy in the 2nd.
That said... I can't really think of anyone too exciting I would have rather had.

Okay, maybe not, but I can dream damnit.
Anyone catch Keyshawn when he was talking about them taking Jarrett?
He was like "he shouldn't worry about going in the 1st and getting big money. He'll earn that later. He's not hoing to be a bust like Freddie Mitchell who got paid a lot of money and doesn't have a job now".
Mike Smith said he emailed Donovan and he said that he was "befuddled" by the pick when Kolb got drafted.

And don't feel bad, Donny Mac, we're befuddled too

shtein, I really wanted the Eagles to get Gerald Alexander. Would have been a really good player for them, he could have played either safety spot, whatever one Considine sucked at (insert joke about Alexander having to play both safety spots.)

Too late. My severed head is already performing auto-fellatio as I type this.
Considine has gained 74 lbs of muscle this offseason. Its all good says Spewdaro.
This is what ESPN has to say about Abiamiri:
Quote
Abiamari lacks ideal top-end speed and has some problems holding his ground when teams run at him, but he has the strong upper body to keep blockers off him and the quick feet to develop a wide variety of pass rush moves.
JUST what we needed! ::)
Anyone else noticing the ridiculous evenness of the on-screen polls on ESPN?
ie:
"Did the Eagles make a good pick with Kevin Kolb? Yes: 51% No: 49%"
The only solace I take from this is that last year I thought they had an unbelievably good draft..and it didn't live up to expectations. Maybe this is just a bizarro world thing.
He may get pushed back, but he's got good bubble. Bubble!
the same thing was said about Trent Cole, but he ended up being a pretty good run defending DE.
Maybe it's the massive amount of alcohol and anti-depressants I've injested so far today but I'm actually starting to like what the Eagles are doing.
Also - Jameson's stops burning after the fifth glass.
You know, which is nice.
I just wish I knew something about him. I know zip on the guy, but if he doesn't vanish after a couple of games like Howard did this year then I'll be happy. Hell if he can just make the field unlike McDougle...

Meriweather and Alexander were the only safeties who visited the Novacare Complex.
i don't feel like looking it up...but what numbered picks do they have in the 3rd round
87 and 90. I really hope they take Tanard Jackson.
thanks Dillen
i've already decided to like pick 87 and hate 90
I heard #90 is racist
So im betting no chance that Bush is on the clock by 87
get john wendling!1!

Tony Hunt
Rufus Alexander
Michael Bush
Tanard Jackson
Aaron Rouse
... any of the two I would be aiiight with.
I think the Giants are gonna get Bush
that would be a dumb pick for them
they don't need another pounder, they already have Jacobs and Droughns
They could go Antonio Pittman.

Ok this is the best one so far.
I would actually be ok with today if they came out with Bush/Hunt and Tanard Jackson/ Rouse. I'd rather have Jackson though
I'm hoping for Jackson or Wendling. I like Jackson more, but I think the Eagles could set a record for most starting white safeties with two if they draft Wendling.

I was hoping the Eagles would getr this guy. He has the kind of size they need at the SAM spot. He is big and can run and has good weight on him.
I like this one.
Mayock says he thought he was a no brainer second round pick.
I don't think the FO is even trying right now...
http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/olb/stewartbradley.html
Listed as 5th best OLB.
are you allowed to draft a gm? I think they still have 1 more third rounder and it would be a move for the future

Has there been anyone the Eagles picked in the LAST DECADE that you weren't hoping they'd pick?
I need me some more booze.
Bradley lives in SLC. He's gotta be Mormon.
I'm not even going to watch tomorrow, I'll just check the draft tracker every now and again. The draft this year was farging ridiculous.
That pretty much guarantees they are done with LB. I'm farging thrilled. This draft couldn't have been better.
will GB take one of those RB's?

Tony Hunt. Good pick I guess.
Eagles select Tony HUNT
tony hunt!
Eagles take Tony Hunt!
Tony Hunt! Hell Yeah!
FINALLY, a farging pick I like
They need to get their ass back in the 3rd round and take Tanard Jackson. Hunt is all fine and dandy, but they realize that backup QB and RB werent a problem last year, right?

well, moats sucks & buck will probably get hurt again so i think backup rb was a need.
But we've still got Buckhalter!
It was definitely a need and a good pick, but I would have preferred Jackson. I'm not going to get pissed about it, it's not that big of a deal.

The Birds have no 4th rounders so who cares.
Reid on NFL Network now.
That's what I'm talkin about.
Dude had some 88 career receptions so he fits their style.
Reid says "we'll see what happens" with the 4 QBs but AJ is definitely #2 and McNabb definitely #1. Gee, I wonder what that means for Holcolmb.
I don't think they ever wanted Holcomb. They likely HAD to take him and his contract to get Spikes. Can they cut him June 1? What's his cap hit like?
Or Kolb could end up on the IR with an "injury".

I think there is something to this. Especially considering what Hugh said. Seems Holcomb is definately the odd man out.
At the end of the day they ended up with a decent draft imho. Every player they drafted was a very productive college player, there is something to be said about that.
Hughes to Indy match made in cover 2 heaven.
I'm trying to come around on the Kolb thing - maybe it is in the same light as when they took Lito, Sheldon and M. Lewis, when they had quality guys in those spots already, but I'm really stretching to make it seem like a good thing. They needed a DE and added a decent to good one, Bradley could/should replace Dhani, which CAN'T be a bad thing, and Hunt is finally the big back with some toughness they've needed, which is something I hoped they came away with.
At least they made it interesting, but I am still totally farging pissed we have dick at safety and corner.

Get ready for a lot of that.
I think today's action is a solid win for the Eagles.
Last year we were all popping champagne and holding sparklers in our hands, and it hasn'tworked out so well. So, using that logic, since today looks like a bust, I expect great things.
Was in the corporate suites for the draft today, cheerleaders were hot. Got Gocong and McCoy's autograph. McCoy is smallish and obnoxious, Gocong was laid back and chill.
Was hanging out in one of the suites and started up a conversation with some guy typing on a laptop, turned out to be Bob Kent who writes for the Eagles website. Nice guy.
Shoulderpad idiot walked by my crowd and I said loud "look at this douchebag", he looked over our way with his mini entourage like he was gonna do something. Bahahaha.
The DE was okay
Getting Hunt was very good
As soon as I woke up from my 1 hour of sleep today and saw they drafted Bradley I laughed because I rememebr what IGY said about getting him.
I have forcibly removed the first pick from memory.
Even Kolb himself said he was shocked he was picked so early

Anyway, last year at this time (like I've said), we were the #1 or #2 team in the draft on the winner board. Worked out real well for us so far. :yay
Kevin Kolb
Victor Abiamiri
Stewart Bradley
Tony Hunt
I think Hunt could be the perfect compliment to Bwest. He fits the Penn State mold of a downhill bust the line runner. He won't break any big ones but on third and 2 he could be a viable option that would change the way defenses look at our offense. He's the bust it up the middle runner we haven't had since Duce.
I like Bradley. Finnally a lb with some size. NFL.com says he could put 20 more lbs. on his frame with no loss of quickness, so might have a future at DE.
Abiamiri fits Rieds mold for players, great guy, workout warrior. Like others have said, I watched quite a few ND games this year and don't remember this guy.
Kolb........Kevin friggen' Kolb.
It was said a lot on ESPN that Marty is in love with this guy. Looking at what is written about him, I see a qb with a very accurate, but not very strong arm. Throws great on the run and is good at making something of nothing, but will turn it over when pressured and can't find anyone open.
I don't understand this pick at all. The last position on the field that we needed with our first pick in the second round was qb. Absolutly no attempt to get extra picks for a wr or s. We draft a farging quarterback.
Either this Kolb ends up a pro-bowl qb, or Ried gets fired.
the ramblings of some guy from scoutsnotebook.com:
QuoteFirst, let's start with a review:
Day 1 is in the books.
Let's review:
2nd Rd - QB Kevin Kolb - 6'3, 220
Tommy's Notes on Kevin Kolb:
Very experienced. 4 year starter. Threw for over 12,000 yds. Had 85 TD passes, but only 31 INTs. Ran for a surprising 21 TDs. Durable. Didn't miss a start in 4 years. Has played in the same offensive system since HS. That is a bit of a concern. How easily will he adjust to a new offense? Good combo of size, skill, experience, and athleticism. Runs okay. Will scramble if he has open field. Had a 46 yd TD run in C-USA title game. Can make throws from all sorts of angles and positions. Can throw on the move. Can create plays. Was pressured vs Miami. Moved around in pocket and then flipped the ball to his RB, who ran for a medium gain. Has a good, but not great arm. Makes good decisions. Accurate. Houston's offense is based on a lot of RAC yds. Kolb can hit guys on the move. Also throws a very catchable ball. Good touch and good pace on his short throws. Doesn't force the ball. Solid mechanically. His offensive system featured a lot of shotgun and a lot of short, quick throws, so he will have to adjust to dropping back and making reads. Played in the Senior Bowl and looked pretty comfortable running an NFL offense down there. Adjusted better than Chris Leak or Troy Smith. Showed a good pocket presence. Made good reads. Also looked good at his Pro Day. Reminds me of Kellen Clemens from last year's draft class.
SUMMARY
I like Kevin a lot. I think he's the #3 QB and a 2nd Rd player. I see him as a starting NFL QB.
Senior Bowl:
Practices - KOLB - Played smart. Hit his checkdown receivers when nothing was open. Moved around in the pocket if needed.
Kolb - Nice throw to Taylor on the right side. Looked fairly smooth in taking snaps under Center and dropping back. Threw a deep ball to Bowe in the seam that should have been a TD. Threw the ball pretty well. Had a couple of nice medium throws.
Game - KOLB - Played 3rd Qtr. Good throw to Chris Davis running out route from left slot. Made a quick read and got the ball to him in a hurry. Davis was able to run for the 1st. Good pocket presence. Stood in the middle of pressure and focused on receivers. Threw a bootleg pass to TE. Looked good on the rollout, but had to throw ball into the ground because of pressure on him and tight coverage. Was sacked when the RB couldn't solo block Carriker. Screwed up a handoff to Darby. Ball may have slipped from his hand as he went to give it away. Screen pass was blown up and he had to throw the ball away.
OVERALL:
I had Kevin as my #3 QB and worthy of a 2nd Rd pick.
This pick really caught me off guard. I knew the Eagles really liked Kevin, but I didn't think they would go for a QB this high.
Andy Reid said that he was the highest rated player on the board. This could be entirely possible. Wouldn't surprise me if the Eagles had a 1st Rd grade on Kevin. I only really had two major concerns with Kevin. First, he played in the same offensive system in HS and college. How will he adjust to an NFL offense? My second concern is that he played in the spread offense. How will he adjust to playing under Center?
I thought Kevin handled himself very well in the Senior Bowl and looked fine under Center. That made me feel better about him as a pro prospect.
How does he fit in to Philly's plans? That is the key question. He'll be the 3rd stringer for the next couple of years, assuming AJ and Donovan stay healthy. After that, who knows? Might move up to 2nd. Might challenge for the starting job. Time will tell.
Fans have to think of this as an investment in the future. I think Kevin has the talent to be a starting NFL QB. Philly can now take their time in developing him for the future.
_____________________________________________
2nd Rd - LDE Victor Abiamiri - 6'4, 275
Tommy's Notes on Victor Abiamiri
Plays LDE. Does a good job of pursuing plays from the backside. Not the biggest or strongest, but can be stout when he extends his arms and plays with leverage. Had an outstanding play vs Michigan when he pushed back the RT and forced a run wide, then used a spin move to get off the block and make the TFL. Good motor. Good closing speed. Looks quick and athletic, but not fluid. Looks a bit gangly at times. Quick off the ball, but not explosive. Used inside move for sack vs Stanford. Used good inside move vs LSU to get pressure. Good pass rush vs Michigan when he was unblocked. Victor stayed under control as he came upfield, then used a good burst to hit Henne as he threw. Had 19 sacks over the last two years. Very cut, muscular build. Did 25 reps at the Combine. Very raw as a pass rusher. Fires upfield and also has an inside move. Needs to learn how to use his hands, how to set up blockers, and other moves.
SUMMARY
2nd Rd player with a lot of upside. Has the frame to develop into a decent sized LDE in the NFL.
Senior Bowl:
Practice Note - ABIAMIRI - Great looking body. Very muscular. Needs to show better burst. Moves? Has to battle harder. He doesn't quit, but pauses if initial progress is stopped. Needs to go all out til the whistle blows.
Game Notes - ABIAMIRI - LDE. Runs weird. Good rush off the edge. Was held around the neck by Wrotto, but drew no flag. Quick off the ball. Played a little at RDE. Used inside move vs Staley to blow up running play.
OVERALL:
I had Victor rated as my #9 DE.
The Eagles have looked for a DE with some size for the last couple of years. Victor fits that bill. He can rush the passer as well. In the short term, he may be on the bench. He'll be slotted as the #5 DE. That may seem like a waste with a 2nd Rd pick, but remember that the Eagles have lost a DE to injury for at least 8 games in each of the last 5 years. Even as the 5th DE, there is a good chance Victor will get some playing time.

Quote3rd Rd - SLB Stewart Bradley - 6'3, 256
Tommy's Notes on Stewart Bradley
The top pure SAM LB in the Draft. Good size. Can be stout at the POA. Moves pretty well. Had a sack and FF vs USC. Not a great athlete. So-so COD. Doesn't start 'n stop all that well either. Does hustle. Chases plays all over the field. Can run with TEs. Just missed sack when he rushed off the edge vs Texas. Lines up over slot at times. Generally disciplined in playing his gap/area. Good tackler. Not a gifted pass rusher, but can get some pressure because he comes hard off the edge. Good STer.
SUMMARY
Complete SAM. Can play the run, cover, rush the passer, and tackle well. Isn't great in any one area, but solid in all. Should be a late 2nd or 3rd Rd pick. Isn't a great fit for Cover 2 or 3-4 teams, so might have a limited market.
Senior Bowl:
BRADLEY - SLB. Good tackle on run play. Was unblocked. Read the play as it developed, then shot upfield to tackle RB at the line. Hit TE on short catch. Pursued well. Had TFL. DL disrupted play and Stewart fired upfield and nailed the RB.
OVERALL:
I had him ranked as the #4 OLB and #1 SAM.
I didn't think the Eagles would take a SAM. I was thinking they'd go either MLB or WLB. After the pick, I figured Bradley would be moved to MLB. Reid said in a press conference that Stewart would in fact be at SAM, but could backup MLB as well. I'll comment on the LBs below.
_____________________________________________
3rd Rd - RB Tony Hunt - 6'2, 233
Tommy's Notes on Tony Hunt
Workhorse power runner. Runs behind his pads. Can make guys miss. Good balance. Tough, rugged RB. Lacks top speed. Good blocker in pass pro or on running plays. Very good blitz pickup/pass blocker. Can hold up guys or simply stonewall them. Was used as a lead blocker on some QB sweeps in '05. Does not have quick feet and will struggle with penetration. At his best as a N-S runner. Very good on screen passes. Catches the ball well. Had 88 catches for his career. Breaks arm tackles. Will run over some defenders. At his best as a downhill runner. Big guy, but knows how to make himself small. He will lower his shoulder when a defender is in front of him. Gives him more power and makes him a smaller target. Very good on Draw plays. Always seems to fall forward. Strong enough to drag defenders. Took one Tennessee DB for a 10 yd ride. Does have a pretty good burst. Had a very good showing at the Senior Bowl. That was very important to me. Proved that he can run on top flight defensive players. Also had a great bowl game. Ran for 158 yds on Tennessee and really wore down their defense.
SUMMARY
Lacks the speed to be a 1st Rder. Still, has the kind of ability where he could be a starting RB in time. High character, competitive guy who had to fight for the job at Penn State over more heralded recruits. Won't shock me to see him do the same thing in the NFL.
Senior Bowl:
HUNT - Started at RB. Caught a couple of passes. One was a swing pass. Got it behind the LOS and worked through defenders for a gain of 8. Lined up out wide on the other catch. Short gain. Had the ball stripped by DB, but was ruled down. 7 yd TD run. Play went to the right side. Tony got behind Beekman and read the defense. Saw the defenders heading wide, so Tony cut inside for easy score. Stepped up into pocket and helped with pass pro on DT. Ran over Buster Davis on Iso run up middle. Only got a couple of yds, but "won" the collision. Ran through a tackle attempt by Simpson. Got to the edge and headed down the sideline. Lacks top speed. Can take a big hit and hop right up. Runs with terrific balance. Keeps his feet under him and runs under control. That allows him to run through some hits/tackles. Runs as N-S as possible. Had an off-tackle play to the right where he cut up inside. Tony had space out wide, but seems to understand that he is a power runner. Patient. Let's plays develop.
OVERALL:
I had him ranked as the #4 RB.
Tony is the power runner that many fans and media have wanted. He's underrated as a receiver. He should be the #3 RB this year. I'm fairly certain the Eagles will look to trade Ryan Moats.
_____________________________________________
more still....
QuoteA look at the Eagles LB situation:
WLB: Spikes.....McCoy
MLB: Trotter.....Gaither
SLB: Gocong.....Bradley.....Daniels
I anticipate us trading Dhani Jones on Sunday in order to move up a few spots in one of the rounds.
Reid mentioned that Chris and Stewart offered the Eagles a pair of big LBs to play TEs up on the LOS, something they haven't been able to do for a couple of years.
Based on his PC, I really got the feeling Gocong was going to be penciled in as the starting SAM with Bradley as a backup.
This allows Takeo to play WLB, the spot he's most comfortable with. Trotter and Gaither are left to battle in the middle...assuming the Eagles don't take a MLB on Day 2.
This lineup isn't set in stone. We won't know for sure until we see what happens at the mini-camps and early in Training Camp.

onto Day 2
* I think the Eagles will try to trade Moats, McDougle, and Dhani so they can move up in a round.
* I think Tra Thomas is staying put for 2007.
* Don't expect the Eagles to use all 4 picks. I think they'll package them to move up. I'm only expecting 2 or 3 picks.
I'm sure Heckert will work the phones as hard as possible to try and move up in the 4th Rd. There have to be a few players the Eagles are interested in.

I didn't expect a lot of what happened on Saturday. That means Sunday should be pretty interesting
A new day and this still doesn't feel better. farg Philly sports.
If they go MLB, I'm hoping it would be Anthony Waters. I'd be cool with Wendling at safety, granted he's white, but he's the best available, and has been pimped as a sleeper by a lot of "experts".
You know those restless nights where you toss and turn after your team loses a big game? I had one of those last night over this draft.
I think Waters got picked at the end of the third last night PPinDC
QuoteIn a deal consummated by a phone call between the two owners - Jeffrey Lurie and the Cowboys' Jerry Jones - the Eagles picked up an extra selection in the third round - 87th overall - from Dallas, giving them four first-day selections.
Why is Lurie involved in any way shape or form? He's been consistent in saying he leaves the football decisions to the experts.
wow...Randy Moss to the Patriots for a 4th round pick

Farg. He went to the Chargers. He's going to be a beast. Book it.
Michael Bush to Da Raida's
So who gets traded today? Holcomb? Moats? Dhani? McNabb for a 6th?
ha! Jacksonville just took a punter in the 4th round
Considering Moss just went for 4th rounder, theres a good chance all of those players might net you a 6th

So they have Jordan, Rhodes and Bush this season? That's a lot of depth and talent in the backfield. Plus it gives Bush some time to get healthy before he has to contribute.

once again...it's unacceptable for the Patriots to not win the Super Bowl, while the Eagles merely hope to be in the mix every year
Take a look at our 1st pick in this draft and tell me you still think the Eagles only hope to be in the mix.
So Kolb made the entire team worse? :-o
No.... but he damn sure doesn't make them better... until
maybe 2011.

I swear to christ that players I want, get taken by others. Players and/or positions I don't? Come on down, you're the newest Philadelphia Eagle.
Lemme go find the next player we won't get...
Fred Bennett
They need to trade the farg up. You arent going to find a DB the same caliber as some of them on the board now then at 155.
If they dont trade atleast one of Moats, Dhani, Glew or McDougle today I'm gonna be pissed.

Yo Dillen, get mad now - nothing good is happening today. Brace yourself.

I have a feeling that they are going to take Delaware TE Ben Patrick with one of those 5's.

Wasn't Patrick rated as a low day one player in most places?
Well there goes the DT from Utah I liked.
Whats the word on Brandon Siler? He's supposed to be real good yet he's still out there. Anyone know?
QuoteWasn't Patrick rated as a low day one player in most places?
Yeah, no idea why though. He's a good prospect, but he shot up draft boards for no reason. I would be fine with it if they drafted him.
QuoteWhats the word on Brandon Siler? He's supposed to be real good yet he's still out there. Anyone know?
He isn't real good. Real stiff in coverage and for a guy at his size with his poor coverage, you'd want a much better run stopper.
Patrick was rated as high as an early second rounder. They should trade up to grab him asap

I'd like him here too. And yeah, Patrick was rated as a mid-rounder.
I love Siler, but no way we take another LB.
Courtney Brown Cal Poly CB is another decent player still out there
I really like him a lot. I'm surprised he's still on the board considering guys like Usama Young went in the middle of round 3.
Yeah, Phreak... Brown has a lot of skills, no doubt.
I can't believe the Patriots' WR's this year.
Fred Bennett - gone.
Houston got him. :boo
And Bennett is gone.
Phreak...stop saying who you want, it's obvious the entire NFL is paying attention and they are taking who you suggest
Well, that would be everyone but Andy Reid is listening to me. The arrogant prick!
Better yet... start posting some guys that you really DON'T want! Reverse psychology!

I'm a mess.
That pick ruined my draft weekend.
You have to wonder when the Eagles are going to get in on this rush for punters.
don't forget Rocca!
Whens our next pick?
I dont even care anymore.
Why are Moats, Dhani and McDougle still on the team?

Who the hell is going to trade a mid 4th for one of those bums? I'm actually kind of surprised Moats isnt gone yet, but I doubt they get rid of him anyway.
No one wants McDougle or Dhani.
Moats? I'm surprised he's still here too...maybe he'll get a 5th.
There's still a number of guys I want that are out there, but the Eagles wont pick them so it doesnt matter. Or the Eagles plan on picking one of them at 155 and they'll get drafted at 154.
My point was, trade them all asap for whatever you can get and use whatever you get to package and move up. TERRIBLE TECHNIQUE.

Judging by who has been picked already, a 6'3" 240 WR who runs under a 4.4 isnt going to go in the 7th round.

Barksdale
The Eagles liked him and worked him out several times. Thats all I know.
taterskins took Carson Palmer's brother, Jordan
one more pick left...#236
See, this draft isnt that bad. it isnt the best, but it could have been worst. They addressed most of their needs and got a bunch of guys later in the draft with a lot of potential.
obviously, no one really knows for years.
but you have to admit, even though it's one pick, thier first pick is a tone-setter and the one that most people remember and refer too. this year's first pick was really confusing.
One thing I will say about this draft:
Am I happy with it? Not really. But the Eagles wouldn't have taken Kolb if they really thought anyone at 26 or 36 would come in and be an impact player right away. They obviously weren't fans of Branch, Houston, Jarrett, Harris, Woodley, Spencer. They did address their major needs which were in the front 7 on the first day.
Now whether or not their talent evaluations were right or wrong remains to be seen. I'm not happy, but I'm not outraged either.
This team also thought Freddie Mitchell was worth a first rounder, and Jerome Mcdougle was worth a trade up
Arizona just took Patrick at #215 overall.

I'd be really interested in Rory Johnson as a MLB. He's probably better off for WLB, but he doesnt make a lot of plays and seems like a good player to just stick him at MLB and let him rack up tackles.
Forgot about that. I was just scanning NFL.com real quick. They included Samardzija too
Surprise! (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0704/Draft_Surprises_Top10/content.5.html)
His arm looks like the size of mine in that picture. And that isn't a compliment.
it is kind of refreshing to have a QB that DOESN'T have a double chin
OLB Earl Everett
i like this cat...they should take a run at him
For you East Coasters.
Did you all feel that Dwayne Jarrett (WR) from USC was going to be a bust? This guy ruled every corner he faced last year in a tough conference...and dropped down in the draft because of his 40. Do people on the east coast really not pay attention to Pac-10 football?
Do you think Mike Williams influenced teams on Jarret?
From what he did at USC, he did nothing but dominate.
Just curious on what the draft junkies on this board thought.
I dont think he's a bust at all, if he stayed his senior year he'd be top 10. Mike Williams should not scare anyone because look at what team drafted him. The Raiders by the way stole Williams away and i fully expect him to do very well under Kiffin
Only after the season did I start hearing from various places that Jarret had a "me first" attitude that would scare some teams away. His lack of top flight speed was also a concern. Those were the two downers on him that I kept hearing about.
but from watching him at USC he was great. Who knows.... top end WR's are a strange breed.
our boy stueber was really patting himself on the back for getting the tony hunt pick right. said he "nailed it." didn't talk too much about how he wasn't even close on anything else though.
yeah, 3 people from this board "nailed it" too.

Draft watchers might get extra day
At the rate the NFL is going, it might wind up stretching its already wildly popular draft to a full week. Are football fans ready for a round a day?
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that the league has held preliminary discussions about switching the first round to Friday night, with the rest of the draft spread out over the weekend.
There are two obvious reasons to consider that option. One would be the potential prime-time audience on a Friday night. The second would be the chance for NFL teams to what the paper called "decompress" before heading into Round 2.
The report comes on the heels of what turned out to be the second-most watched draft of all time. Nearly 38 million viewers took some time out of their weekend to watch the draft on ESPN, ESPN2 or the NFL Network, the NFL said.
Perhaps the biggest obstacle to a 3-day draft is how the length of the first round would translate to an evening telecast.
Last Saturday's first round took 6 hours, 8 minutes, easily a record. That means even a 7 p.m. start would take East Coast viewers past midnight, unless the league would reduce the current 15 minutes between picks. But reports indicate there's not much sentiment to do that.
IN
That's one of the best ideas I've heard in a long time.
thats a horrible idea....i dont care when rounds 2-7 are but round one is made for a noon sat all day cookout nice weather time
who wants to be rushing home from work on a friday nite to catch the first round and then watch it until midnight
Three days of the NFL draft > two days.

And I'm laughing a little at you complaining about watching something 'until midnight' like that's way too late for you. Old man.

i think youre referring to sitting in your own house drinking and watching the draft with a buddy...and if thats what you do then it doesnt matter when it is....
i can party on a friday nite without the draft...but you dont every weekend have an all day noon start party
id rather be at a bar or out and about on a friday nite than sitting at home
plus i love waking up saturday morning and getting ready for the all day draft extravaganza
having a draft day party for rounds 2 3 4 5 doesnt quite have the same effect...the turnout for it would be minimal compared to the first round being on sat...most people arent going to clear an entire weekend to go to someones house for a two day draft party
Yeah, well most people SUCK.

Why would you want people such as that at your house anyway?
The draft is for hard core NFL fans anyway. Casual fans talk too much during the draft and generally make a nuisance of themselves during the day. They want food, they want drinks, they need more ice, they wanna talk about their kids or their annoying insignificant lives... blah, blah, blah. All I wanna do is sit in front of the television, drink beer, eat my face off and watch the draft unfold.
And I only want people there who are the same way. If they aren't then they don't get invited back to my party.
player poker during the draft is perfect

Draft party on friday night followed by lazy cookout and drinking all day saturday rules. You're wrong.
i'm going to have to agree
trust me no one is getting to a draft party by 7 on a friday nite...people would be getting there at 9 10 11...it would be a party with the draft on not a draft party...and i do that every friday
and no one is coming on sat to watch the later rounds...no one cares that much

Raises hand...
i dont need an excuse for that...i get together every friday and/or saturday nite with people and get drunk somewhere
but its not every saturday i get together with a bunch of people at noon to cookout and party all day/night...the way the draft is now its accomplishes that...if it started friday nite it wouldnt be that way anymore
i know what youre saying tho...you want something you like a lot...in this case the draft...to be on for as many days as possible so that while youre drinking at least something you enjoy will be on
which i like too...im for the draft being on for an entire week...i just want the first round to start at noon sat like it does now
oh snap
who needs an excuse to have a cookout and all-day drunk fest?
who needs an excuse to have a cookout and all-day drunk fest?

Kolb - 4
Abiamiri - 78
Hunt - 29
Bradley - 55
Gaddis - 30
Barksdale - 31
Celek - 87
Ilaoa - 48
That's right, Abiamiri does indeed have #78. That's because THE THING has changed his # to 97. Now he's really ready to dominate!! If Abiamiri doesn't like #78 though... he'll probably get a chance to change it to #95 in a few months.
... also:
Bethel Johnson - 16
Montae Reagor - 94
Ian Scott - still no #
Die-Hard has to get his Al Harris johnson changed to a BARKSDALE.

There's a local dude here who will remove the old lettering and replace it with new for like $20. That's still more than I'm willing to spend on that jersey. I'll just take the hit as a reminder never to buy new jerseys for this farging team ever again.
Well, unless they're of players who are either all-timers or dead.

It's nice to see that the $75 I spent on the Bunkley jersey last season was money well spent.

QuoteThe Eagles also had two picks in the fifth round and with the first they took a flyer
Should I just stop there?
Good IDEAS
QuoteCLOCK TIME TO BE CUT?
There are reports that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is pondering the possibility of shortening the amount of time that teams have to make their draft picks.
Per Len Pasquarelli of ESPN.com, Goodell is expected to raise the issue when the NFL owners meet next week in Nashville. The move could reduce the first-round allotment of 15 minutes to 10 minutes, and chop the second-round time from 10 minutes to seven.
And in light of a recent report from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the move to speed up the draft could be a precursor to shifting round one of the annual incoming player selection proceedings from Saturday to Friday night, in prime time. This would drive up the ratings and, in turn, increase the advertising revenues.
It also might help the league get NFL Network into more homes, especially since NFLN's draft coverage is much better (in our opinion) than the same-old "talk loud, say little" approach from ESPN. (With the exception of Jamie Dukes of NFLN, who often employs the "talk loud, say nothing" strategy.)
Technically, the Commish can impose new rules on the draft without a vote from ownership. But the unilateral use of such power could cause feathers to ruffle, so Goodell wisely is running the idea up the proverbial (or, if you went to school at Pitt, perverbial) flagpole.
If we were calling the shots on this one (and football fans everywhere should be glad we aren't), we'd leave the time limits as they are and move the first half of round one to Friday night. Even by cutting the per-pick time in round one to ten minutes, the first round could still chew up more than five full hours. And this means that the league would have to strike the difficult balance between starting the draft too early in the Pacific time zone, and finishing round one too late in the East.
With only 16 picks, the maximum duration would be four hours. But that's still a little too long.
So how about a hybrid approach? By cutting the time limits for round one to 12 minutes and picking half of the first round on Friday night, the NFL would end up with a maximum production of 192 minutes -- or about the same time that it takes to play a prime-time game.
Moving only half of round one to Friday night also would spawn all sorts of catchy sayings for the sock puppets; the players taken would be dubbed the NFL's "Sweet Sixteen," and there would be breathless conversation in the run up to the draft as to whether a given player is good enough to be a "Friday night pick." Also, the Brady Quinns and Aaron Rodgerseses of future drafts, who fall out of the top 16 and who are forced to wait until Saturday to be selected, would generate even more interest for the resumption of the process.
So we think the NFL is on the right track with this. But we don't want the Saturday afternoon phase of the draft to lose too much of its appeal -- and we don't want to have to stay up until 2:00 a.m. on Saturday morning to find out the name of the last guy taken in round one.
I don't have a problem with that. The 15 minute time is ridiculous.
i have a problem with breaking up the first round as that article proposes, that's stupid
Yeah - the owners will never go for that - it gives the bottom half of the round too much of an advantage. 10 minutes is fine.
But we don't want the Saturday afternoon phase of the draft to lose too much of its appeal
word up
Keep it on Saturday and make it 10 minutes.

Dear God... is he right on with this! I honestly can't even watch him talk when he's on camera. He's on morning radio here in Atlanta (well... he was the last time I listened to his station) and he wasn't doing any of that shtein. I guess he gets on TV and figures he's got to show out to make himself a star.
He's awful.
NFLN started out promising, but the "analysts" are mostly awful.

Dukes is horrible, the guy just screams worse than Irvin.
