i still say draft a fat farg DT.  the small dt's (walker, patterson) forcing you to blitz the mike (trot, bradley) every.  god.  damn.  time doesn't work.  if there was a good fat farg in the draft like ngata, i'm all for it.  then andy could move laws to te or whatever the farg goes on in reids head. these small ass dt's don't get it done.  i want a dt that plays on the other LOS and creates pressure without a mike right next to him.  (and yes i know patterson has had a few bright spots - he could be put in on passing situations).  i'm sick of this fastballs high motor shtein.

Yeah, when I think of the needs of this team, a fat DT is right up there at the top of the list.

Draft Countdown's latest mock has them taking Shady and Eben Britton (Arizona OT), but the top RB Knowshon Moreno was at #21 to Arizona

I agree.   We haven't had a wide body on the dline since, well since, let's see, maybe never.. Big plug in the middle would be a step in the right direction.

Please don't bring up Ngata.  I thought for sure we had him in the draft.  Oh man he would have been sweet on the birds dline

I'll give these LB's one more year.  They improved drastically as the year went on and my god this was their first year together  and than you take Gaither out and insert Jordan.  I think we'll be ok at LB.

The four 'starting' LBs combined for 5.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 1 INT this year. Gag.

Enough with being okay with these linebackers, its almost as bad as the WR position. This position has been neglected for the past few years and I'm sick of it. Look at other top teams, they got at least one play making LB, we have zero! I'm not okay with this project BS, they need a jaw breaker at LB who's got experience. Bradley might have the brightest future, but lets face it he's not the future. He replaced Gaither and Gaither got replaced by Jordan, both of those guys, not the future, not even close. I want a stud out of college and I want a stud from the NFL to come right in.

We have 2 first rounders still don't we? Could we use one of them for Boldin and package it with Lito?

[mussa]

I mean hell, just look within our division. Our LB's and WR's don't even hold a candle to what the taterskins, Cowboys and Giants have or had the past few years. How are we supposed to compete when our division rivals are better than we are there?

[SD_Eagle5]

If there's a silver lining to the loss it's that I love the draft and the Eagles have the 21st and 28th pick. Damn shame Carolina couldn't do their part.

[rjs246]

Settle down, mussa.

I agree with you, but we did ok this year making it to the nfc championship.Could you imagine how good we would be if these positions mattered to our FO?  

[pinoyboy2pt0]

i'm all for a badass LB...esp. WLB. 

but keep in mind you can only put on so many numbers when you are constantly bllitzing the mike.  get some fatties up front and let them roam.  not saying this group would be pro bowlers but it would at least throw bradley some more room and don't make him blitz all the time.  which could then help in some bracket/zone coverage, esp. for TE's

don't know what sites are good for ufa's, but if crazy ass haynesworth is a FA, get that cleat stomping on heads mother farger!  = super bowl.  throwing in a dansby wouldn't hurt.

With the Eagles 1st and 2nd round picks is it possible to package them up and get in the top 5 or top 10?

Of course but this FO will make a package and trade out of the first round.
