College Players The Eagles Are Interested In

[MURP]

I guess im the only person who doesnt see the point in trading up for Huff.    I like Huff as a player, but trading up to get a safety in round 1?  I dont like it. History has proven you can find very good safeties later on.   Heck both Dawkins and Lewis were drafted at the end of the 2nd round.


just some other examples.

John Lynch - 3rd round
Bob Sanders - 2nd round
Rodney Harrison - 5th round
Adrian Wilson- 3rd round
Lawyer Milloy - 2nd round
Darren Sharper - 2nd round

huff is much higher rated safety than nagata and bunkley are DT's...in a general sense i agree with you murp...but we are talking about this draft in particular and my thing is IF they trade up it should be for a guy that has a chance to be special and huff is the only one of them i see that in

good point MURP... do you know how many safeties have been taken in the top 10 the past couple of years?  i wonder how that list compares to the one you just put up.

Roy Williams and Sean Taylor.

well I agree that Huff is supposed to be a better S than Bunkley and Ngata are supposed to be DT's... but if the Eagles pass rush doesnt improve it doesnt matter who is back at safety.. it is going to be ugly.   The DT position hasnt been upgraded whatsoever in FA so that leaves this draft.  And getting a higher impact DT later in the draft is quite a risk if you choose to go S in round 1.  And to trade up like that your gonna throw in your 2nd rounder too?   That just doesnt work for me if im the GM.

Huff would allow the Eagles to blitz Dawkins, Lito, and Sheldon more.

[ice grillin you]

it comes down to whether you think huff can be speial or not...you kinda said it youself...safeties can be gotten anywhere...therefore for one to go in the top ten then they must be pretty friggin good...whereas a defensive tackle could go higher than perhaps he should because of the position

there might not be another safety rated this high for another three four five years...bunkley and nagata are around every year

im not stuck on huff...for me it all comes down to giving up that second rounder....and if you do all that it better be for a complete stud...whatever the position

somehow I dont think the Eagles DB's blitzing a bit more solves the problem of a crappy pass rush.  At best it would have a little impact in a small number of games.

the problem is that while Bunkley and Ngata might be around every year, the Eagles are not usually in a position to obtain them.

the Eagles are not usually in a position to obtain them.

but they arent now either...they have to give up at least a second to get them

if you are gonna give up picks like that...i want the player to at a minimum be the clear cut best player at his position...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Huff might also be the best CB in the draft, though.  He is special.

Huff might be the best player in the draft.  I'm all aboard Sun Mo's Huff train baby. 

[BigEd76]

They don't need to give up the 2nd-rd pick to get from #14 to #8.  All it would take is the 3rd and the 4th....

Huff in the first round and then Gabe Watson in the second round wouldn't be a bad scenario to consider.  Of course, if they traded up to get Huff, they'd likely have to give up their second rounder to do so.

My head hurts just thinking about it.
