Kiper's Latest Mock Draft

[Zanshin]

What I meant was...that's been true of the Eagles for the better part of the last decade.

[SunMo]

It depends on who's available.  We'll know more in March, obviously.

Speculating is fun but it's pointless to assume players which will be available via free agency.

But it's even more pointless to assume that a rookie will be able to step in and anchor an offensive line on a team that is supposed to be challenging for the Super Bowl next year.

It simply isn't going to happen, Mo.

ok, fair point, but what player at 14 will step in a make an impact on a Super Bowl team?

[Rome]

Agreed.

[ice grillin you]

Wow, what insight.  Isn't that statement true every year?

no

after the draft there we will find there are many.  Reid just has to pick one of them.

Lots of places.  Linebacker, running back, wide receiver, tight end.

It almost always takes a while for an offensive tackle to become a force at his position.    It's pretty rare that a guy makes a huge difference at that position in his rookie year, and certainly that much more rare when he contributes significantly to a Super Bowl contender.

Super Bowl contenders usually have their offensive line buttoned up pretty good.  Wouldn't you agree?

no

So, this is "the year," huh?  This is it...totally it.  Okay, I'll hold you to it.

plus right tackles have the second highest bust ratio of any position...second only to defensive ends

lol.

[Zanshin]

Right...because you say so, it HAS to be true.  You take lessons to be that self-important, or is it a natural thing?  The old nature vs. nurture question, I guess.

i would agree, but do you think that this Oline is buttoned up?

lol...hey, if you want people to stop treating you like a nonsensical pompous ass, all you have to do is stop acting like a nonsensical pompous ass.  Pretty easy.  But you won't...because you need the attention it brings you.
