Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

[Munson]

When someone asks me who they drafted this year I think I'll just throw up. The sound I make will probably be closer than any attempt I make at pronouncing these guys names.

[QB Eagles]

Here's what the Eagles did with their picks:

Eagles gave up	| Eagles got
2009 1st (#21 overall) Kelly Holcomb	| Jeremy Maclin (WR)
2009 2nd (#53 overall)	| LeSean McCoy (RB)
2009 3rd (#85 overall) Hank Fraley	| Ellis Hobbs (CB) | Paul Fanaika (OG) | Colts 2010 6th | Seahawks 2010 3rd | Saints 2010 5th
2009 4th (#121 overall) 2008 1st (#19 overall) 2008 5th (#152 overall)	| Jason Peters | Mike McGlynn | Trevor Laws | Quintin Demps
2009 5th (#157 overall)	| Victor Harris (CB)
2009 6th (#194 overall)	| Brandon Gibson (WR)
2009 7th (#230 overall)	| Moise Fokou (OLB)
Lito Sheppard	| Cornelius Ingram (TE) | 2010 conditional
Greg Lewis 2010 conditional	| Fenuki Tupou (OT)

When did Chris Carter become such a raging twat?

[Munson]

I don't know but he picked the Eagles for his "team that did best in the draft."

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Last pick doesn't even get his own thread?  Agreed.  farg him.

So, does this draft/off-season satisfy those who said the Eagles need to add weapons/support around Numbah 5?

i like the picks and think it was a pretty solid draft.  it's hard to argue against the maclin and mccoy picks.  however, i think those picks were made to support #4, not #5.  kolb has never started a game in the league yet, and he's already got a better recieving corps waiting for him than donnie mac ever did.

Lesser QB needs more tools to succeed. It's logical at least...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

#222 traded to the Colts

Colts receive:
» 2009 seventh-round pick (No. 222):
P Pat McAfee
        

Eagles receive:
» 2010 sixth-round pick

first UDFA = Marcus Thigpen (Indiana RB)

[PhillyPhanInDC]

Thigpen is a ridiculous returner. They've got like 12 guys more than capable of taking it to the house now. I doubt he's even 200lbs. Might hang out when they drop Booker, dude has insane burst and moves, but is tiny.

Man, if they ever get some guys that know how to block on special teams, the Eagles are gonna be AWESOME!

[ice grillin you]

why would thigpen sign with a team that has drafted/acquired 700 small quick ass return men in the last 12 months

[General_Failure]

Because someone said "here's some money, you semi-talented bastich" - that's my guess.

3 more UDFAs:

Josh Gaines (Penn State DL)
Brandon Robinson (Boston College WR)
