Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

[DH]

I think there comes a point when a team should realize they have maxed out its allotted roster spots at a certain position. And to me, that would have been when they signed a DT last year.....to play FB.

Maybe they want to sign this one to play tight end.  Think outside the box, big guy.

kiper/mcshay eagle picks from their most recent mocks...


21. Philadelphia Eagles (9-6-1)

Kiper pick: Donald Brown, RB, Connecticut -- Brown could end up being one of the more productive rookie backs in 2009 because of his all-around skills and tremendous character.

McShay pick: Knowshon Moreno -- Chris Wells would be a better complement to Brian Westbrook in the short term, but Moreno's versatility makes him a better fit to ultimately succeed Westbrook in the Eagles' pass-happy system. In the meantime, Moreno is fully capable of taking some of the load off Westbrook's shoulders.


28. Philadelphia Eagles (from 12-4 CAR) (9-6-1)

Kiper pick: Michael Oher -- Oher is one of the more intriguing prospects in the draft. He is loaded with talent and can dominate the defense he's working against, but he also seems to have lapses in concentration when he struggles to keep his opponents at bay.

McShay pick: Eben Britton, OT, Arizona -- Britton has surprisingly quick feet for his size (6-foot-6, 309 pounds) and ultimately could develop into a better option than Winston Justice at the left tackle position vacated by Tre Thomas, who signed with the Jaguars.



pretty sure mds is a better option at LT than winston justice

I'd be thrilled with Moreno and Oher, but I have a feeling they're either trading up into the top 10 if one of the tackles is there or they'll do something from out in leftfield that leaves us all going wtf.

other than taking a QB i dont think theres anything they could do that would make me go wtf

[SunMo]

defensive tackle

[ice grillin you]

i dont think they would do it but it wouldnt be a wtf to me just because they love the position so much

No way the Eagles stay put in this draft.   It's close to a stone cold mortal lock that they're packaging the two to go up into the top ten.  If you do any sort of research into the last 20 years of first round picks you'll see that the pickings are slim from 20 to 30 in terms of getting impact players there.  I'd have no problem with them going up especially if a guy like Crabtree or Jason Smith inexplicably falls outside the top five.

I'm not saying the Eagles won't break the trend and get two studs at 21 & 28 but history suggests they won't.

Mike Jenkins and Felix Jones.

[reese125]

ha...crabtree.

man when youre on youre on Romey

[Rome]

So there's no chance that he falls to six or seven?

[reese125]

Im not saying that at all...its the mere thought of the Eagles taking a WR that should of made you delete his name

[ice grillin you]

drafting a wr is pretty funny but still possible...trading a number one (and other pick(s)) to move up and take a wr is comedy genius

[Rome]

If he's there and the Eagles have the opportunity to get him and don't they should burn the NovaCare down with everyone in it.
