I think in the Eagles position you don't necessarily take the biggest need first. What I mean is while DE or DT are probably the biggest needs, that doesn't mean you reach at 14 and take Kiwanuka because DE is the biggest need. Unless it's a QB, because that is the one position where we don't have a starting need, you take the best player available at a position you need. RB is a need for sure. It's probably not the biggest need we have, but White is a stud so you have to take him.

For all I know Kiwanuka will turn into the next Reggie White, but from watching him play myself, and reading all the other reports on him, his stock is gradually declining.

Ferguson used him for his own personal chew toy.

Say Ferguson is picked 4th (which he should be) and Kiwi is drafted 14th, considering how badly Ferguson owned him, I'd say the dropoff of talent level between those 10 picks is enormous.

Nope - Kiwi cannot be picked at 14.  If the Eagles really want him, then they should trade down and try and pick up a (2) or a high (3) from someone for their troubles.

Kiwi will be there in the early 20's unless he goes Mamula-Phreaky at the combine.

This is exactly my reason for not wanting any part of "Kiwi" at #14.

Daryn Colledge
Not at 14. Are you back on drugs?

It's early February.  By April, this guy's stock could be top 10, that's why I don't take these early projections seriously.
More Mahe please.

ice grillin you

colledge no matter how much his stock rises will still be a developmental type player...he has a ton of potential but thats not what the eagles need to do this year

that said he is definitely one of those flavor of the month type players that could be picked higher than he should be...i still cant see him going inside of the 20's tho



isnt he from the north pole?

and Daryl Tapp used Ferguson as his chewtoy this year.     By the way, Get TAPP.    :yay

Tapp would be a great second round pick.  I could see Pittsburg grabbing him late first this year.

I voted "other".

At this point its really hard to tell what the Eagles need since we haven't seen what holes they fill in FA.  There are going to be some great players from 25 - 60.  I would trade down and pickup an extra 2nd and maybe more.  You can get a good DE/TE/DT/LB prospect in the late first/second as they are deep positions.  Its possible there could be a run on WR since its a weak draft and some people will reach, if not there could be some good picks at WR late 2nd/3rd.

I thought Daryll Tapp looked like the best DE I saw at the Senior Bowl.  I wasn't that impressed with Hali...it looked to me like his 2 sacks came on a blown assignment and being blocked by a TE.  And you won't be sacking NFL QBs with a one handed "love tap", Croyle is the Pinkston of QBs.

I would like to see them pickup another TE in the draft and start running alot of 2 TE sets with two receiving TEs like Smith and Davis/Byrd.  That would create alot of mismatch problems for defenses with Westbrook/Brown/"insert FA MR here"/Smith/Davis or Byrd and also give them some beef to run it more.

Something like this through Round3 after trading down a couple times and maybe trading up twice(really depends on who rises and falls):

Daryll Tapp - 2nd round
Claude Wroten - 2nd round
Max Jean-Gilles - 2nd round
Dominique Byrd - 2nd round
Jeremy Trueblood - 3rd Round
Gerris Wilkinson - 3rd Round

Shot in the dark...who knows until FA starts and the combine happens so we see who rises and falls.  My point is there are some really good prospects at those postions in the 2nd/3rd.  I don't really see anyone available at #14 that excites me so much id rather have them over getting someone like Daryll Tapp or Claude Wroten for free.

rjs246

If they draft a TE with any of their first three (existing) picks I am going to strangle all of you. They need a BLOCKING TE. Which they can get in the 4th round or later. They need people for the front 7 on defense and people who can farging block on offense. They've got enough 'matchup problem' 'weapons.' How about they get a masher who knows how to lay a lick on a linebacker for once. This mincy fairy offense shtein is done.
