Generic Comcast SportsNet web guy has the Eagles taking Greenway

It's kind of telling when the guy didn't even get the first round order correct:

Quote6. Oakland, Vince Young, QB, Texas
Despite the signing of Aaron Brooks to a two-year deal and the drafting of Andrew Walter last season, the Raiders can't pass up the opportunity to select a special player like this. Young (6-5, 230) is an excellent athlete who showed he could carry a team on his back. There are concerns with his unorthodox delivery, but his quick release and height should negate his awkward throwing angle.

7. San Francisco, Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland
With so many needs the Niners opt for the top tight end in the draft, giving young Alex Smith some help. Davis (6-3, 250) wowed observers at the combine with his physique and speed. He should finally give opposing defenses something to worry about next season.

I cant see them taking a linebacker anyway because the Eagles dont pay that kind of 1st round money to LB's. They invest 1st rounders more in the D and O line. Plus, Greenway plays the WILL, a spot that McCoy is surely to win this year. Dude is a friggin beast though. Nothing surprises me with Birds nowadays, so who the F knows.

Patt, have you seen any SS out there worth taking a look at...when Dawkins says c-ya bye? I know we have Mikell, but can he do the job

PoopyfaceMcGee · April 01, 2006, 10:47:20 AM

Well, Dawkins is a FS, not that the distinction is overly important.

Looking at guys who might be there in the 2nd or later:
Jason Allen - excellent cover guy, not a pure hitter like Dawkins, though
Pat Watkins - he's all potential, probably a few years away from even hoping to start in the NFL, but could be a stud
Marcus Hudson - might not have the brains to play FS in Johnson's scheme, but has the nasty streak
Antoine Bethea - division I-AA stud who has all the tools you look for, but might just be a product of low level of competition

I don't see the Eagles taking Gabe Watson, even if they didn't get a DT in the 1st and he's there at their 2nd round pick. The guy already has the quitting skills of Corey Simon, but he hasn't made any money yet.

I also think they'll stay away from Claude Wroten, no matter what.

I think the Waston "laziness" thing is maybe a bit over-hyped. The dude constantly draws double teams, and can win them. He is a stuffer, and would be an excellent compliment to Patterson. At 6'4" and 340lbs, he is a big, strong run stuffer which is what the D line needs. Not a Patterson clone in Bunkley. Read what I posted here for more on Watson. If the Birds were able to trade down and grab Watson, and get another pick for the 14 spot, it would be an excellent move IMO.

I agree with you, personally. I just don't see it happening with this Eagles FO. And the fact I don't see it happening probably makes it all the more likely. Ha.

I agree about Watson I personally think he would be a good addition if they could trade down. As far as them picking a DT in the first round I just don't see that happening at this point unless they trade down or up. Moving up would be for Bunkley or Ngata moving down because there is no one of value at 14. San Fran would be a good trade partner if they would like to move up IMO.

How do you figure? The Eagles would have to give up at LEAST their 2nd and a couple of the 4ths to get that far up.

I don't see anyone in this draft that will be there at #6 worth moving up that far for... certainly not Ngata or Bunkley.

Ngata is imo, he is going to be picked fairly high. I think they could get a way with just a second rounder. I don't see them doing it I am just saying if they were to move up SF would be a team that they may do it with given there past history. The only other teams that I could see would be Detroit or Arizona., with AZ being highly unlikely.
