Cool site. They have all of the players listed along with round projections and stuff like that.

It has to sting Jason Avant to be exactly one slot behind Michael Robinson at WR.


Also, interesting to see Kamerion Wimbley at #15 overall.  Hmmm.

Mark Eckel, writing for the Sporting News, reports the Philadelphia Eagles appear to be leaning to trading up in the NFL Draft. They currently sit in the No. 14 position. Their target appears to be Oregon DT Haloti Ngata. The 6-4, 340-pound Ngata would give the team a run-stuffing presence in the middle of the defensive line and could be a perfect complement to DT Mike Patterson.

So, the Eagles are almost certainly NOT trading up, and if they do, it's NOT for Ngata or Huff.

Got it.

I predicted a month or so ago that I think we'll trade up for Ngata. I'll stick with that prediction.
Calling it right on the $ since day one.
Just pointing laughing, and living it up while watching the Miami Heat stink it up.

If they can finagle a trade up and get him, I would be very happy. He's a stud.

::)  who's that moron being played by this time?  Ngata's agent?  The Eagles?  One of the teams drafting ahead of the Eagles?

I'm fine with moving up for Ngata, I just pray Andy doesn't get desperate and throw in our 2nd rounder. He doesn't really fit the mold as far as JJs DTs goes, but dude can play and that's all that counts.

PhillyPhreak54

Well, he kind of does fit JJ's mold. One thing Spads has always said when people ask him about getting a big body DT is that "If they can move, sure. And there are very few who are that size and can move like JJ likes" (paraphrashing)...

So Ngata fits into that big-and-can-move mold. He's no Grady Jackson.

Does he shoot gaps well? I only watched him play once but he was impressive. The number 1 reason I like him is because he can collapse a pocket. Corey was a fat slob but he had that powerful lower body and low center of gravity that enabled him to drive Guards back and open things up for the other DTs.

If the Eagles get Ngata, they'd have the best defensive line in the NFC.

Kearse
Patterson
Ngata
Howard

That's a sick defensive line, dudes.

I don't know about all that, the Panthers still have a great D-line even though they have some injury problems. Atlanta adding Abraham puts them a tier above us. And the Bears D-line is one of the best in the entire NFL.

He wouldnt be as highly regarded as he is if he didnt shoot the gap well. With that kind of agility/speed for a big man, your damn right he can shoot it. Ill cross my fingers on this one, and hope the Eagles go against all odds and do something differently than expected--like move up in the draft.
