Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

[DH]

Really? I cant say I've been impressed with D'Brick so far..

You can't coach size.  But you can't fix stupid.

[ice grillin you]

(unless maybe they just move up a few spots)

this is what i ultimately think they end up doing...rather than using one of the ones to move way up they wait and see how things fall and use the 10 non first round picks they have to move up and grab a guy who falls that they really like

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


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.[/i]

They'd be lucky to have either Oher or Britton available at 28, but I'd be happy with the pick.

Apparently Oher made some major improvements at his Pro Day going from a 5.3 to a 5.085 on his 40 time and upping his bench press to 24.

I know alot of mocks have him down there near the Eagles, but when I look at some of these teams before the their pick, they need OL help big time. Since hes one of the 3 best OT's in the draft--I think teams would be foolish to let interior talent like that slip by. I could see the Eagles making a switch here for this guy

I want a RB (Moreno or Shady) and Pettigrew.

I said pretty well, not dominant.  Trying to predict what this team will do on draft day though is pretty much insane.  There really isn't anything they could do that would shock me, even taking a Qb.  And I am with you on that Phreak anyone of those 3 would make me happy. 

[Feva]

As far as RB's go, I'd be thrilled with Moreno or Shady too.  Can't quite put my finger on why, but I don't love Donald Brown though.

I think it's Steve Wyche's mock that has the Eagles getting Oher at 21 and Moreno at 28.  I'd bust outta my pants.

PFT says Shady had a private workout with the Eagles, and they have one scheduled with Western Michigan safety Louis Delmas

Isn't Delmas the clown who scored like a 7 on the wonderlic?

Morgan State University nose tackle Lonnie Harvey had his pro-day last week, the only scout to show up was a representative of the Philadelphia Eagles. With the lack of publicity surrounding the M.S.U.'s Football program, Lonnie decided to have a camera crew follow him around during the workout and created a youtube highlight of the event. He displayed athleticism (at 6'3" and 346 lbs) and showed why teams are becoming more and more intrigued with a defensive linemen who can either play the nose in a 3-4 scheme or be that one or three technique in a 4-3 scheme. Currently projected as a latter round pick or priority free agent, Harvey has already secured workouts/visits with the Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panther and Indianapolis Colts. The New England Patriots are the latest team to inquire about Lonnie, fitting since they might be looking to add depth behind Vince Wilfork on draft weekend.

It seems like the Eagles are looking to add a bigger tackle to the D-line rotation. Based on the DTs they've been visiting with, they are looking at guys in the later rounds. I'd be happy to see them add a guy just to clog the middle...

Penn State's Ohrnberger On The Move
Posted by Aaron Wilson on March 27, 2009, 1:09 p.m.

Penn State All-Big Ten Conference offensive guard Rich Ohrnberger has a private workout scheduled with the Philadelphia Eagles next week, according to a league source.

Ohrnberger also has visits set up with the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants.

Among the other teams that have shown interest in Ohrnberger: the New York Jets, Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots.

A third-team All-American selection, Ohrnberger is listed at 6-foot-2, 301 pounds. He ran the 40-yard dash in 5.15 seconds at the Nittany Lions' Pro Day and bench pressed 225 pounds 32 times.

Ohrnberger has started 34 consecutive games at guard, but the New York native is also capable of playing center.

If there's an undersized overrated offensive linemen available I have no doubt the fat boy will go after him.  But that's a post for another thread.

He's could battle it out with Mike Gibson for that 4th guard spot.  Riveting.

[JackStraw]

Team Gibson says he's ready to get in there and compete
