Reid article today

moats was a wasted pick...they tried to strong arm westbrook by drafting him and it didnt work...moats and westbrook in the same backfield is overkill

Having two guys who are exactly the same size, and undersized at that is stupid. I agree with that. And I agree that we should drafted a bigger back, but its impossible to do that in the first. I would seriously question Reid he takes White....even more than I am now.

[SunMo]

yup, they used a 3rd round pick on a negotiating tool, WASTE

they used a 2nd rounder on a LB who sits on the bench.

yeah, i never expected him to start his rookie year.  the thinking with him is that he'd be a starter eventually. 

[ice grillin you]

for the record

in not on some draft lendale white or bust ish...but if hes there id love to get him...thats is if they have addressed defense in the FA market which of course is more of a sure thing...if they arent successful there then id have no problem taking a defender in that spot provided he isnt a white linebacker from south dakota...id be down with a OT as well depending on how the chips fall

Draft Hedden!

i think initially, i'd be excited to see us take him, but then reality would hit. there are far too many more needs now to be taking a rb in the first.

more of a guarantee he will be a player...who on defense at 14 can you be certain wont be a flop...defensive lineman especially ends...which is what a lot of people are pushing for are very hard to grade

plus a rb will play and contribute right away

Westbrooks fat new deal and Moats being drafted last year should "guarentee" that Lendale wont be our pick. I still think we should have taken Stephan Jackson instead of trading up for Andrews.

I honestly thought I was the only guy on this board who that that same thing.

[ice grillin you]

jackson over the future probowler and hall of famer andrews...blasephemy


from reading the various eagle message boards after andrews was picked and up until the end of his first training camp i swear i thought his first name was road grater

[General_Failure]

No, that's just an honorary title. He going for his phd in running people over from Randy Moss U.

[mussa]

jeez maybe moats was the best vailable player at that spot to them. or maybe they were planning on a westbrook replacement for the future, i don't know?  i am excited about moats and westbrook.  throw a power back in their and thats a hell of a 3 headed monster.

[The BIGSTUD]

If he trades up for Mario Williams I'll take back every bad thing I ever said about their drafts.

Moats was a wasted pick. Which I've been saying for a year. How can anyone be excited about having not one, but two, Eric Metcalfs on the team?

[MURP]

I like the Moats pick.   #1 if it was used to get Westbrook to sign it did the job.  #2. If  Westbrook is hurt they still have an extremely quick back on the roster who can create matchup problems.  Moats averaged 5.1 ypc on an offense that had an overall inexperienced line and Mike fricken McMahon at QB.  Its not hard to find worse bench RB's in the NFL.

[rjs246]

Take away 3 rushes by Moats and he averaged about 1.1 yards per carry.

If they needed to use a second round pick to get Westbrook to sign... well that's just pathetic. And on top of that, the deal that Westbrook got didn't really save the team a ton of money so if Moats was their 'leverage' it didn't even work. One scat back per team, please.

[MURP]

You choose to penalize Moats for having the ability to take it to the house.   Makes a lot of sense.
