Jeremy Maclin - Philadelphia Eagle

[rjs246]

It's a good pick and should pay some benefit quickly.

Maclin > Greg Lewis, so the WR's are better this year than last.

It will pay no benefit this year unless Maclin is something special. Curtis and Jackson are the starters. He may very well be the 3rd guy, but it's unlikely that he'll make much impact this year. Not to say it wasn't a good pick, but I doubt he changes anything for this team this year.

I say "some" benefit.  You say "no" benefit.  Bet?

[rjs246]

Freddie Mitchell provided "some" benefit. So no, I'm not betting.

I dont know how to feel about this. I do not follow college ball much so I can not pass judgment on the rookie but I am just confused about the pick myself.

This could potentially be a great pick up when he finally develops into what he will in about 2-3 seasons. Thats great but there is still a chance that this kid could be a bust. 50/50 chance. Just like with all draft picks. So when your willing to draft a WR with the first pick, why not use the same pick to trade for a proven player like Boldin? I mean even if this kid is the truth he wont be for a little bit, and that might be enough time for the Kolb era to start.

Seriously this is bumming me out.

Im digging this pick more and more. He was undoubtedly the 2nd best WR on the board. The Darius-Bey pick was a by all means a WTF pick by Oakland

the fact that the Eagles went WR blew my mind in the first place, and I give them props for doing so. This dudes stats for 2 years in college are insane. Hes one of the best all-purpose yards guys in college history (3rd) --and again in only 2 years of playing

He ran a low 4.4 on pro-day, has some serious jets and could very well produce like Jackson on the edge, and maybe even slide Curtis to his natural position if he quickly learns the offense. The Eagles will have some fast motherfargers on the field at the same time, and converting on 3rd down might of just got a little easier

wow!  wow!  wow!  never thought macklin would fall to the eagles.  kid was a beast at mizzou and i'm glad the eagles were able to grab him.  i was really curious how the eagles were going to address the loss of greg lewis but this far exceeded my wildest, wettest dreams.

[QB Eagles]

Only the fourth Eagles WR taken in the first round in the modern draft:

Freddie Mitchell (#25, 2001)
Kenny Jackson (#4, 1984)
Mike Quick (#20, 1982)

[BigEd76]

his agent is Jim Steiner from the CAA powerhouse, just in case you want to whine about holdouts in June or whatever

[NC_Eagle]

They can still get a very good back in the second or third round.  And they probably will.

Upon further review this was correct, I just wasn't expecting WR in the first round. 

[ice grillin you]

3rd round = michael johnson

get it done

[PhillyPhreak54]

3rd round = michael johnson

get it done

Oh yeah, I'm cool with that.
