Whats' the Right Move?

Displaced · March 17, 2006, 07:58:33 PM

We have allbeen belly aching about the moves made and or not made by the Eagles this offseason. I think we all know what we would have done if we were at the helm.

Here's the thing, all that is in the past now and wether we like it or not the Eagles moving toward the draft pretty much the way they are constituted right now.

That said, what would you do come 4/29.

What move do you make in order to give the Eagles the absolute best shot at a Chip this coming season?

Hire 31 snipers.

I would hope the one move that would be made is that they would post things related to Free Agency in the Free Agency '06 thread.

Displaced · March 17, 2006, 08:28:27 PM

Yeah Phan right.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear. The question I am asking isn't about free-agency or the draft in and of themselves, it is about what you would do from this point on if you were in the decision making position knowing all that has happened so far.

I read the Mock draft sites and and one thing I have noticed is that everyone from Kiper to the kid that posted his own mock draft featuring team needs is just speculating.

As far as I am concerned there is enough informed football knowledge right here in this board to do just as good a job and even better.

So I will ask again: If it were up to you what moves would you make, Draft and Free agency included, to make the Eagles a legit Superbowl contender?

Is this all you read?

Maybe I should have added that anybody that thinks we should use Cole as a DT on passing downs is automatically excluded from participating in this thread.

1. Re-sign Runyan

2. Sign a veteran RB who is well versed in the WCO and is bigger than Westbrook and Moats (Maurice Morris or Najeh Davenport or maybe even Verron Haynes)

3. If Moulds or Walker can be had - get one of them.

4. Sign a veteran DT replacement for Hollis. He wants out - get him out. Get another guy in there who can do what he did but better.

5. GET JULIAN PETERSON! We need a SAM LB. He's the best out there. Get him now.

6. My first round pick is Brodrick Bunkley.

MURP · March 17, 2006, 10:19:08 PM

without really thinking about it a ton..

- re-sign Runyan
- get Moulds if he is cut or make a trade for him with a lower round pick if possible.
- sign Peterson or Arrington.... seems almost unrealistic considering the Eagles spending habits, but they have plenty of money to do so if they actually wanted to.
- draft Bunkley or Ngata in the 1st round. (find a way to make it happen even if you need to trade up)
- 2nd round I see if there is anyway to trade up and take C Nick Mangold. If not then I sit tight and take the best Olineman available- Max Gean Gillies, Davin Joseph, Marcus McNeil if available at the point...
- 3rd round I would draft DE Daryl Tapp. Love this crazy dude.
- 4th round I would draft WR Brandon Williams to instantly take over returns and compete for #3/4 WR his rookie year.

PhillyPhreak54 · March 17, 2006, 10:22:57 PM

You stole my brain you thief!!

Seriously..I agree. All the way up to Brandon Marshall.

MURP · March 17, 2006, 10:24:03 PM

except Id draft Brandon Williams instead of Marshall.

PhillyPhreak54 · March 17, 2006, 10:25:51 PM

I thought you said Marshall.

I like him mo bettah. But its all good.

MURP · March 17, 2006, 10:27:08 PM

I agree with all of this.
