Try coming up with a defense to stop that formation!

[Dillen]

Did Steuber write that?

Scott Wright did...all the same.

[PhillyandBCEagles]

No, the mock I posted has it all.

4 OLs including 3 of the first 4 picks.

A white DB and a white LB.

A LB from BYU.

2 D2 players including a third round OG.

4 guys with 2 first names.


Seriously, it has it all.

That might not be as sarcastic as one would think.

EAGLES CONTINUE RECEIVER QUEST
Posted by Mike Florio on April 9, 2008, 10:38 a.m.

With efforts to sign Randy Moss and trade for Larry Fitzgerald flat-out failing, the Philadelphia Eagles apparently are considering the possibility of using their first-round pick in the draft on a field-stretching pass-catcher.

On Tuesday, Cal receiver DeSean Jackson visited with the Eagles.  Though on the smallish side at five-foot-ten and 169 pounds, his 4.35-second speed in the 40 could be the kind of thing that helps unlock the team's West Coast attack, by drawing the safeties deep and opening up the underneath stuff.

And so what about Jackson's size?  Remember, this is the team that once relied on Todd Pinkston, the human pretzel rod.  Besides, Steve Smith of the Panthers is listed at five-foot-nine, which means he's more like five-foot-seven.

Though there's a chance that the Eagles are only blowing smoke, they clearly want to upgrade at the receiver position.  With all options via trade and free agency likely exhausted (unless the Lions opt to move Roy Williams), Jackson might be the best bet.

Todd Pinkston, the human pretzel rod.

lmao

So DeSean is Bloom, but a better receiver and maybe a tad faster. I'm okay but not as a first rounder...too much of a gamble with his size, durability...I'd rather have a soild #1 pick, no concerns

[ice grillin you]

So DeSean is Bloom

lol jesus....NO

how the hell would even put those two in the same sentence


bloom is farging skier...desean jackson is a first round nfl draft pick


hes way closer to devin hester than jeremy bloom

[Wingspan]

I'm still pissed they even wasted a draft pick on Jeremy Bloom.

[Rome]

The comedy that ensued afterward was worth the pick.

[ice grillin you]

^^^^^
truth

does it even matter who we draft anymore? half of them will be cut before the season and most of the other half wont play for atleast two years.  and even when they eventually do play they're as good as winston justice.  a lot of people say "oh lito and a 1st round pick for a #1WR is too much to give up" thats total crap! you know the draft is a crap shoot and we usualy end up getting some bust.

You're gonna fit in here well, dude.

Relax they will make up for it by signing 13 Rookie FAs, 3-4 of which will make the team.  Seriously though with a 11 picks they should be able to find at least 1 player.  Then again the Patriots drafted 9 last year and only 2 made the team.

yea but i want a contributer, someone who will be ready to play this year and make a difference and i have no faith that Reid would let any drafts start no matter how good they are.  "they have to learn the system" like pass, pass, pass, punt is a system.  theres got to be someone we can pull from another team with lito and 1st or second round picks.  give me Boldin, Williams, Johnson any of them would be an offensive weapon.  dont give me a defensive tackle and tell me he's our new FB.  i'm not going to get excited about a FB unless your gonna tell me that we're gonna run more. which again isnt gonna happen because "its not our system".
