Will Todd McShay pimp slap Mel Kiper this year?

C'mon Eagles, do something good!

Didn't even notice the fact that it was three white guys until you said that.  This draft is already exponentially faster than any draft I can remember.  Good picks so far. 

As far as the Eagles go all I can think today is OL....unforutnately.

KC has to be creaming themselves....Glenn Dorsey to the Chiefs should be the pick.

The first pick was already a given and reports earlier this morning were that StL was going to take Chris Long with their pick so I'm sure that has something to do with the quick starting pace.

That's pretty much gotta be their pick now that they don't have Jaren Allen.

according to the chart the jags just made a steal of a trade.  the difference in points between 8 & 26 is 700 points and the jags only gave up slightly more than 300 to go up that high.

NE won't pay CBs big money. McKelvin or DRC makes sense, but hey won't pay.

And more OL keep slippin on down to 19. I pray that these fools start getting plucked off the board to keep Andy from pulling the trigger.

Otah and the Vandy kid still on the board, as is Albert....


Woohoo for first round lineman! I honestly won't disagree too much with them taking a tackle, considering they have two old dudes and an unproven guy who looked like shtein at LT.

But it sure would be nice to get a WR.

Yeah, it's nice knowing I'm not wasting half a day with the 1st round.  It's also nice not having to listen to the pundits talk for 15 minutes at a time or watching the cameras troll through the masses of idiot douchebags in attendence.

Nice - Williams is off.

Now, let's see some more get gone.

Otah and Albert - goodbye, please.

Kansas City (unless they go Rodegrs-Cromagnonman) and Houston should scoop them up.

If Devin Thomas is there and Andy doesn't take them, I'll kill MDS.

Unfortunately even if all these top 5 guys are gone Cherilus is still on the board.  I actually wouldn't have a problem if they draft one of these guys as long as they don't trade up to get one.

However, I hope that Houston recognizes how badly they need OL help and takes Otah. Schaub gets killed. Houston just hired Alex Gibbs to coach the OL along with Kubiak they are Denver disciples.

I seriously don't want the Eagles to get Phillips even if he's sitting there at whatever pick. Everyone is on his nuts and will flip out if the Eagles get him. Give me DaJuan Morgan, not "supposed to be awesome because he's a Miami safety who got great reviews from everyone who doesn't watch college football but will hardly be better than what the Eagles have because he does not cause turnovers and is not an exceptional hitter therefore is hardly better than Sean Considine if at all who is one of the scapegoats on the team."

Same here.  Carolina will probably with a worse record than the Eagles.

Atlanta just traded into Washington's spot.

Oh how I wish they went for that...

Anyway in other infuriating news Spadaro today claimed that had the Eagles not traded out of the first and say selected Otah they would have come out of the first 2 rounds with Otah and Laws. I guess selecting a backup high motor DT was such a priority that no matter what they were going to select him in the 2nd round and then lose out on Desean.

They could have had Otah and Desean. Or a Felix Jones and Desean. Or a Keller and Desean.

Still not going to complain too much about it since I thought it was a good move at the time. Besides would not want Stalker to find a post of mine from last year saying how I was for the move.

I wish we could go back in time and push Stalker's mother down a flight of stairs while she was pregnant.

I don't see why the Eagles would want to draft a RB before the 3rd or even 4th round unless they drastically change the offensive philosophy.

very valid point...and the fact all these mocks have Beanie Wells coming here first pick makes me laugh alot.

Westbrooks been on one leg for how many years now....and the Eagles still havent flinched in the very early rds.

Actually your right and drafting a RB in the first round, unless its someone like Peterson, is not that important. The problem is the talent evaluation. Since Westbrook this team has drafted guys like Moats and Hunt and traded for Booker. They simply can not evaluate skill position talent. All of the WRs, besides Desean, have been huge busts or just role players like Avant. They can not draft a WR or RB, constantly need one, and refuse to use those picks to trade for a proven player at those positions because you know those pics are so valuable.

I refuse to believe its because they are just so terrbile at it. I mean yeah they suck but its also because they simply do not emphasize the position as much. Its not vital in their eyes to winning.

the amount of #1 wr's in the league is minimal...they are really hard to evaluate so i cant totally bash the front office for failing there....its how many times they have utterly whiffed that is maddening

the biggest criticism should be in not getting a free agent wr or wr via trade who is if not a #1 at least would become no question your best wr and a #1 for your team

I agree. I'm angered by the FOs love affair with draft picks that they're no good at using anyway
