NFL Combine '06 and Pro Days

if they take a TE in the 1st round, i'm going to get a mop and bucket.  then, after RJS sprays projectile diarrhea all over everything, i'm going to mop it up, then I'm going to drive to the NovaCare center and when the guard doesn't let me in the gate, i'm going to dump the bucket in his guard booth.

There is no reason to draft a TE in the first round. I agree 100%.

Right, because L.J. is a great all-around player.  He's not at all brittle, he's a really good blocker, and he holds onto the ball expertly after making a catch.  Really, I don't even know why the Eagles would want to ever have 2TE sets.  They should just line up with 10 guys on the field when L.J.'s out there, because he's so damn awesome!

L.J.  is a complementary, receiving TE.  He's not a primary guy on a team that actually plans to run the ball 40%+ of the time.  The team needs at least a good blocker at TE on the depth chart, but if they can get a guy who can really do it all (because L.J. just flat-out CANNOT), then farging do it!

I agree, FastFrederick.

Davis would also be just like adding another WR.

He's a weapon.

TE or no TE he's got skills.

I saw Davis in that CF skills thing on TV and was amazed at how he moved for a guy his size. Decent hands in that drill where they fire the ball at you from all directions, too. I think he came in second. Based on what I saw, I'm not completely shocked at what I've read here even though anyone running a sub-4.4 will open your eyes, let alone a TE.

He doesn't have typical size for a TE, but neither did Novacek and he wasn't nearly as strong or fast as this guy. All it comes down to is how well he picks up offenses, runs routes and catches the ball in action.

i'll qualify my statement, if they sign a starting WR, DT, DE and OL during free agency, i'd be ok with drafting a tight end.  if not, then i continue as originally planned.

Davis also just did a 10'8" standing broad jump.

Almost a foot longer than any other TE.

Lewis and Pope were next at 9'10"

Actually, could you imagine a guy with that size, strength and speed at WR against some of the under 6' 200 pound corners in the league? I wouldn't be surprised if whoever drafted him did throw him out at WR some.

Especially Andy Reid. He wanted to slide LJ out more and did and we all know how he likes to move Westbrook around.

LJ lined up next to the tackle...Davis lined up outside or in the slot. Westbrook in the backfield. Moulds and Reggie Brown at WR.

I think I just messed myself.

and Donovan on his back because there's no one to block for him.

Bingo, Sun.

Thomas
Hutchinson
Jackson
Andrews
Herremans

I've got it all worked out. Gimme Reid's cell phone # and I'll pass it along.

[SunMo]

i love Phreak's opitimism, it's inspiring.

i heart Phreak.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I'm flattered.

Optimism is in the air. FA starts at the end of this week and there is only about 60 days to go until the draft. The Eagles have money and they are going to be aggressive.

i'm hoping.  it would be sweet to have something to talk about on Friday.
