they need to get new coaches first, doesnt matter who they draft cause the current "brain trust" doesnt play rookies barely ever.

aw yeah, i figure we win 2 more games the rest of the season, miami and buffalo

that should put us around around 5/6 overall.

which probably means OT Cherilus or Baker.  And Cherilus has played like semi ass the past two games, so we'll go with him.
Pass.  Pass. Pass. PUNT.  No pro bowl WR's.  Pass. Pass. Pass. PUNT.  Retarded special teams.  Pass. Pass. Pass. PUNT.  "I've got to do a better job."  Pass. Pass. Pass. PUNT.  Running game shines for 3 plays. Pass. Pass. Pass. PUNT.  No adjustments anywhere.  Pass.  Pass. Pass. PUNT.  (repeat)

I don't know why everyone wants them to draft a WR.

Unless you can get a TO/Chad Johnson/stud #1 type guy in the FA market, then leave the WR's how they are. A rookie WR not named Calvin Johnson or Randy Moss isn't going to step into this offense and be effective his rookie year, and maybe not even his 2nd or 3rd year. It'd be pointless to waste a high draft pick on a WR this year when you have three young WR's (Brown, Avant, Baskett) that you like. And Avant/Baskett are pretty tall dudes.

They should be spending high draft picks this year on Safety, LB, or the DE. Spikes is steady but not getting any younger. Gocong has quietly had an okay season, but a true stud SAM would be nice. A true MLB would be nice too. Gaither's done pkay, but I think he's best suited for the WIL spot. Kearse and Howard are probably gone, leaving them with Cole and J. Thomas, and an unproven Abiramiri. Juqua will be 30 next year and he's not an every down player. THey need a true threat on the other side of Cole, though my gut tells me they're going to let Kearse play through next year too, since he'll be two years off the ACL and hopefully "back to his old self."The offense is okay and would be better if Reid balanced it out. You can't drop a QB coming off an ACL injury back 40 times a game...it's just not how you're going to win games.

I like Buck and I'm happy that he's overcome so much in his career in terms of injuries to come back and be semi-effective...But another RB that could compliment Westbrook a little better and do a better job at it would be good. I like Hunt's potential but I'm not sure he can hit the holes fast enough in the NFL.

perhaps you could explain sd's reasons for "disliking" it as well since you seem to be so in tune with other peoples minds

that doesnt suprise me at all


desean jackson would be a great pick this year...he would add all kinds of speed and athleticism to the wr's corps...they need a guy that can get down field...would he be a stud in his rookie year...of course not....no wr's are....but hed automatically become one of the best return men in the nfl...something the eagles desperately lack...i think they are last in the nfl in kick returns...and in two or three years when hopefully the team will be on its way back up he will be ready to contribute big time in the offense
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

igy gettin it done like warrick

im the board pharmacist....always one step above yous

IMO, the goal of a top 10 pick is to get an athlete you couldn't get in the later rounds.

Jackson would fit that bill.  The Penn State homer in me would love to see the Eagles grab Dan Connor, but he wouldn't improve the team as much as a burner on offense.

Get Terrell Suggs and move Cole to LDE?

He would be a nice player to acquire, regardless of what they do with other guys.

1. This team will never acquire Terrell Suggs.
2. This team will never draft DeSean Jackson.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

One of these two things will definately happen, chiefbigguy. LOOK AT THE MATCHUPS!

At this point, to me, a play making safety/LB/DE is a bigger priority then WR. Whether it's a SS, or someone who can take over for Dawk in a few years, they need a safety. Mikell is good, but without someone great next to him, he's just going to be an average run of the mill safety. Considine has proven he can't wrap up a damn tackle. He gets around the ball a lot but the dude just has no tackling fundamentals and gets run over a lot because of it. He goes for the big hit, but he's too small to go up high on guys. He needs to start going for legs if he wants to be an effective tackler. That being said, I'd rather see him on Special Teams and in a back up/come in on some passing situations type of player, behind Mikell and Dawk/FS of the future.

I'd rather see him selling insurance.  Or playing for the taterskins.
