College Players The Eagles Are Interested In

[ice grillin you]

Herremans and Justice will eventually make some damn nice bookends.

i wouldnt be so sure of that...the eagles have drafted about two 'damn nice' offensive lineman in the last 30 years...i hope youre right but i wouldnt count on them striking gold twice in two years...with one of them being a division III player

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Based off what I saw from Manneans last season, he sure didn't seem like any kind of Division III project kind of player. I think you read a bit too much into what school or division the guy came from. Dude stepped in and played pretty damn well last year, with no expierience.

Using your logic, if Justice was there at fourteen, the Eagles shouldn't pick him because they have only picked two solid lineman in the last 30 years??

Selecting Justice is a completely different scenario then when they picked Herremans. Herremans has the potential to be a nice find - a steal possibly.  Justice is a highly rated tackle by a lot of teams, and most likely won't be on the board when the Eagles pick. With Herremans they may have "struck gold", but if Justice came in and performed in a manner that befit a starting type of player, he'd be doing what he was supposed to be doing as a first round selection.

im not saying dont take him...im just saying with the eagles long history of offensive lineman failures i wouldnt pencil them in and say they are gonna be the bookends of the future

Not only that, but the book on Herremans is that he'll never be a *stud* LT.  He's remarkably servicable, but Justice has the capability of being an absolute stud there for years to come.

I would love Justice as an Eagle. I think we would def. have to trade up to get him. I have read comparisons to Walter Jones. If he is half the player we would be in excelent shape. And I think he could step in and follow the Shawn Andrews way and play left gaurd this year. Before replacing Bad Back Thomas in a yr or two.

Excellent post, without any mention of Chad Jackson.  His scrotum thanks you for the breather.

if chad jackson could be half as good as reidel anthony tyler jacobs or travis taylor the eagles would be in awful shape

bonus points for a reidel anthony mention

[xtacy1238]

Well thanks! It was REALY tough for me!

Well if they do go with Justice in one I see them in the next 2 rounds looking at DT and WR. The DT's are very deep and will def. get one they like. Receivers I would be interested in those spots are Travis Wilson, Oklahoma, Devin Aromashodu, Auburn, Todd Watkins, BYU, Greg Jennings, Western Michagan, Johnathan Orr, Wisconsin, Greg Lee, Pittsburgh and Maurice Stovall, Notre Dame. So first round Winston Justice, Second One of the DT's maybe Johnathan Lewis or Rodrique Wright. Third round one of the recivers Travis Wilson prefered.

With all that being said. I do like the QB's this year with the possiblity of switching to WR such as Michael Robinson, Brad Smith and Reggie McNeal. If we could get on of those guys in the 4th and select maybe a linbacker in the 3rd i wouldnt mind that.

Or he could be better than Darrell Jackson, Ike Hilliard and Travis Taylor and the Eagles would be in Excellent shape.

Only time will tell! Im sure he will be a good pro!

You have to believe that the guys in bold are being scouted heavily by the Eagles.  Another guy I like with a 3rd round grade or so is Jonathan Orr from Wisconsin.

I would like to get a Brad Smith or Reggie McNeal, I guess... would be kind of like Seneca Wallace for the Seahawks.  It all depends on where you decide to take a flier on a guy like that.

Half the talent of a Pro Bowl player would be a mediocre player.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Artis Hicks, for example.

[xtacy1238]

Half the talent of a player far and above the best at his possition is a very good player!
