Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

"Actually, I'm happy more teams don't,'' said Tom Heckert, the Eagles general manager. "If more teams did, we wouldn't be able to do what we do.''

stfu you arrogant farg

He's right about the Eagles having a chance to be good every year.  The problem is that they sacrifice the chance to be great one year to maybe hopefully possibly still be "good" in 2-3 years.

Peter missed so many facts because he probably had a venti latte with light whip and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice in one hand and the automatic flushers in whatever "enjoyable/aggravating travel note" airport were scaring him.

I found this also, which is great:

referring to undrafted quarterbacks Graham Harrell of Texas Tech and Chase Daniel of Missouri, both of whom went undrafted

Deon Grant, I thought Bootsy might be a nickname.

Deon Butler.  Grant was a DB picked a decade ago by Carolina (and now he's on Seattle)...

I'm just as bad as king

[Magical_Retard]

I personally loved how he claimed if he was a fan looking for a team to root for he would choose the Eagles simply because they move down every draft to pick up more picks for next yrs draft to only eventually trade those same picks again for the following year. WHAT EXCITEMENT!!

[SunMo]

yeah, forget the steelers who actually just take their given picks and pick all-pros like James Harrison and win Super Bowls

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Maybe he's factoring in that with the Eagles, you can get in on the "ground floor," as they've never actually put it together and won the whole thing.  With the Steelers, you could be labeled a front runner for obvious reasons.

Having said that, it actually makes some sense, but there is a 0% chance Peter King thought that much about it before typing it.

or he's totally banging somebody in the Eagles FO

[Magical_Retard]

The whole premise is stupid. No one chooses a team based on what they do with their late round draft picks.

People choose favorite teams on things like location, colors, uniforms, or what their family roots for. The last thing I have ever heard a fan say is "man I never liked the Eagles but they draft so well and manuever so slick I HAD TO BECOME A FAN!".

[ice grillin you]

him and reid are super close and hes never been shy about his love for the eagles

when you acquire an extra one in the right deal its worth getting excited over as many people did last year when they got a one that allowed them to get peters

but who farg cares about stockpiling second day picks

My money's on Howie Roseman.
