I think you said it best in Justice being more Highly tauted. Which doesnt mean he should play over Herremans. But I think It gives him a leg up.

I disagree.  Yes, Justice is a 1st rounder compared to Herremans being a 4th rounder, but don't forget that he was a guy that the Eagles thought enough of to trade up to ensure they got.  They obviously think he has long term potential and I think they'll give him every opportunity to get on the field... which speaks to why they look to be giving him a shot at LG even though we have both Tra and Runyan at this point.

I think that if both Herremans and Justice are on the roster and one of the OT's go down... then they'd look to Herremans as the 1st option because he has played at the NFL level at the position and impressed while doing so.  If they do draft Justice, I think it's a move to make him and Herremans the OT's for the future, but not necessarily this year.

Ok I see your point. And I really like Herremans also. And if you add Justice to the mix. I am very confident we have enough depth if anyone gets injured or stays injured. So if all Justice does is cause competion and Herremans wins out. Great for the team!

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Justice was our first pick. In fact I almost expect it, because I usually don't get what I want in the draft.

It would be a bad pick though. Simply because our needs right now are not tackle. If Bunkley and Ngata are off the board then I'd think about it, but IMO we'd need to trade up for Justice, which would make it the bad pick. If you trade up in this draft you better get a DT.

Ngata and Huff are the only two players I could see the Eagles trading up to get.

Well, I only see things that make sense, so that's an obvious conclusion.

No doubt those are the three best overall players in the draft.

It was a question of what makes sense for them to do. Moving up to get any of those cats would result in them giving up the majority of all of their other picks, which as alluded to previously, makes zero sense. So to the Eagles FO, they aren't worth it.

I agree with Huff. Eagles love to replace aging players, and who better to replace Dawk with than Huff? He has HOFer written all over him.

I don't even count Bush as in the draft anymore.  I know he's going first overall, and I know it won't be to the Eagles.  While the odds of them ending up with D'Brick, Mario, or VD are ridiculously small, they are not ZERO as with Bush.

Plus, I would actually put Bush just behind those three, because I think he has major injury written all over him at the NFL level.  One torn up knee, and the hope won't reign so eternal for Reggie Bush.
