well, one thing we know is that Spewdaro and the rest of his minions really dont know who the Eagles are going to take. That Chris McPherson or whatever his name is wrote about how he was just about to push the button to post an article on the Eagles website that they had drafted Khalif Barnes last year when they went ahead and took Mike Patterson.

One interesting note: Says last season they were all set to take Khalif Barnes (exactly who I thought they'd select) then Andy changed his mind the last minute and selected Patterson instead.

I find it interesting that he is saying it was Reid "changing his mind" rather than the fact that Spads, McPherson and the rest of their crew just really didnt know what the plan was.

Same here, especially when he said they were about to post the pick on the website then had to change it.

They have to know more than us since they have to post the info immediately on the site once its announced.

Some guy from Drafthype (Chris Steuber?) is on right now.

They have to set bio's up and write stories which takes more than a few minutes. I'm sure they have a good feel a few days before the draft who the most likely selection is going to be.

maybe, maybe not. Its no secret that most website that post news and information have a ton of articles ready to go for when certain events happen. I wouldnt be shocked if they write up 20 different articles about the Eagles drafting a certain player and then just post the one that is correct when the selection is made. There have been a number of times when sites accidentally put up an article about something that wasnt supposed to go up. There was a look into this a while back when one of the news sites (CNN or whatever) posted an article that someone famous had died when they had not. They revealed that they have all these articles ready to go so they can get the news up asap.

exactly...im sure theres also a service out there that provides writes up of these players....all the eagles have to do is copy and paste that info into a template they already have made

MURP · April 13, 2006, 01:59:38 PM

heck, even the Browns website accidentally posted that they had signed David Givens and some others to deals when they had not this offseason. They claimed the site was hacked, but that was a weak excuse for the incompetent people who run the site.

Yes, I wouldn't bother. It is completely farging mind numbing.

SD_Eagle5 · April 13, 2006, 02:00:27 PM

Well, whatever...they know more than us.

except you just said you expected the Eagles to draft Khalif Barnes last year and so did McPherson up to the point where it was announced they selected Patterson.

Coming away from the draft with Ngata and not losing the 2nd rounder would be pretty darn cool.

Sure did, lucky guess on my part. I can't imagine working PR for a company and not knowing more than the common person.
