Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

I want Alphonso Smith in the 2nd; they may have to trade up though.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I want Anquan Boldin in the 2nd.

Kiper's final mock has Knowshon at #21

[Tomahawk]

Screw a RB in the first - the team doesn't run enough to justify that. Besides, good RBs can be had in the later rounds. I'd rather see Pettigrew taken by the Eagles at #21

i will go on record right now with anyone that wants it (within reason)

$10 bucks knowshon doesnt last till 21...not saying the eagles wont get him but he will be gone prior to their original spot

If I was a betting man I would take that, RBs are going to fall.  The only two teams that I could really see taking him before the Eagles would be SD or NO, and I don't think either is going to go that route.

if the rb class was strong at the top id agree but knowshon is so far and away the best rb prospect that i cant believe hes gonna drop to 21

and realize someone could move up and get him...its not just what the teams that are currently in front of the eagles need

[Drunkmasterflex]

Your are right another team absolutely could jump up and take him, I just don't see it. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Unless they are trades up, I could see Moreno sliding to the Birds.

[SD_Eagle5]

Knowshon won't get past 16

[ice grillin you]

Knowshon won't get past 16

yeah thats what i figure...around 15ish...but it also wouldnt surprise me for him to go even higher...i could definitely see the saints taking him

[The BIGSTUD]

I can't see anyone originally ahead of the Eagles taking him. But I think it is highly probable someone tries to trade up ahead of the Eagles for him. So I'll agree he doesn't last to 21. I can see the Pats, Cardinals trying to trade up for him.

[ice grillin you]

jets chargers and saints could all easily take him...hell just because hes so far and away the best rb another team might take him if who they really wanted went off the board...and of course like i said the trade scenario...anyway you look at it it would be not impossible but pretty amazing if he straight fell to 21

[Eagles_Legendz]

I want Alphonso Smith in the 2nd; they may have to trade up though.

Damn straight you do, though you're right, he's going to go somewhere in the 30s so you'd have to trade back up for him I'd guess.

He's a ballhawk and a capable tackler. 

[ice grillin you]

they better not trade back for anyone...unless youre suggesting they will trade their second for boldin...then i dont care what they do with 21
