Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

[QB Eagles]

was it definitely a 5th?  farging espn doesn't run down any trades

First pick in the 5th round.

So they now have nine more picks today? WTF? Are they just planning to scoop up every player that feel through the cracks on a best-player-available binge? This is weird.

So Seattle traded up to pick Deon Butler... that's basically the same as getting Crabtree in the first, right?

[QB Eagles]

Round 5, Pick 1 (137) (From Lions through Seahawks)

Nope.

[rjs246]

Wait, ESPN says that they have the 21st pick in the 4th...

Also, the Cardinals just got a really good player in Rashad Johnson.

[Eagles 3x]

[The BIGSTUD]

ESPN is wrong.

Well, they basically have the ammo now to get back into the draft at any position they want, if they are targeting someone specific. And if they want to just stick with all these 5th rounders, I'm fully in favor of just taking the shotgun approach of drafting a bunch of guys and hoping a few of them stick. There's always 5th rounders who become stars and half of even the first rounders will be flat-out busts. A lot of randomness involved. More picks = better odds.

they gave up the 4th in the Peters trade
