The Eagles would definitely take White at 45.

They are stubborn, but they aren't stupid. That would be the dumbest move in NFL draft history.

What? You know this because you can see into the future? Your assuming White will be a good NFL back, personally I'd rather see them go a different route.

BTW, the dumbest move in Eagles draft history might be Jon Harris, or Siran Stacy.

But they aren't even close to the dumbest in NFL history.  Ryan Leaf?  Brian Bosworth?  So many options.

I agree with the Harris, but at the time Stacy was a good pick, when they announced Jon Harris UVA that was awful.  I was convinced they were going to say Trevor Pryce.

:-D  You dont follow the draft much eh?

so not taking LenDale White at 44 is what?  a brain fart?  at 45 is where the stupidity of not taking him really gets jacked up.
I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

Well, the Browns don't need a running back, silly.

Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports there are some behind-the-scenes talk of USC RB LenDale White not slipping in the NFL Draft as some stories have gone since his poor performance at his Pro Day workout Sunday, April 2. One team drafting in the 20s recently encouraged White not to run before the NFL Draft so it can pounce on him with its selection in the first round. Another team in the mid-teens already has told White it plans on drafting him.


Its the Eagles I know it. He's having dinner with Reid at the Ground Round this weekend

The Ground Round rules.

That said, the only other team in the mid-teens that would draft White is Denver.  Didn't they learn their lesson with Clarett?  After the recent events, I would kick my dog multiple times if the Eagles drafted White.

i remember when the ground round used to be you paid a penny a pound.  so when i was little i'd get dinner for like 70 cents.

that would still be a shteinload of money for lendale and andy though.

$2.45 for LenDale and $2.60 for Andy?  I'd foot the bill if they gave me the exclusive on the story.

My guess with the Eagles was hard sarcasim--Im sure you knew that though--but I just pictured Andy and Lendale playing together in the tub of peanuts...2 elephants going at it hard..

Patt, by the way.....got a couple of websites pushing Manny Lawson hard right now but saying he's too small for LB and too slow for DE. His 40 times are skewed all over the place...what r u seeing? He looks like a friggin beast though

The BIGSTUD

Ryan Leaf looks dumb now because he turned out to be a bust, but hindsight is 20/20. He was a great QB in college, so at the time, no, it wasn't a bad pick.

But passing on a great proven college RB, who had a great game at the highest level in college, and is projected to be a top 20 pick. Plus you are a team that desperately needs a big back that can run between the tackles, and he falls that far and you don't take him?

Yes, it would possibly be the dumbest draft day move in NFL history.
Calling it right on the $ since day one.
Just pointing laughing, and living it up while watching the Miami Heat stink it up.
