Mocks

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Those phrases are so last week.

"Point of attack" and "trap game" will never go out of style, though.

[ice grillin you]

mayock is on wip right now and is spitting verbatim what ive been saying re: the birds needing a playmaker on offense more than anything on their team

he says getting lineman is good n all but they have no one to make plays around the lines

only difference is he is pimping holmes rather than moss...because holmes can go at 14 whereas thats obviously to high for moss


on winston justice: takes to many plays off but has pro bowl ability down the line

he also said he heard the banner interview last week....is mayock from philly?...he said banner was 'a good defensive player'

now hes talking about the fact that they need playmakers on defense and says they should get a linebacker to do so...mcintosh and ryans wont be there in the second but howard will

hes killing lendale...wouldnt take him at all...callin him a dog

says the eagles should nab riggs in the 4th

[ice grillin you]

everyone but me probably knew this but he also said that nfl network has gavel to gavel live coverage of the draft ala espn...they will be live at msg with mayock in the mel kiper role

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

[Feva]

ill dvr the nfl network show and rewatch the eagle picks

I'll probably do the same.

[ice grillin you]

ill be at a draft party tho...im not trying to take over the tv...cause the minute i do someone will no doubt start bitching

plus i can only take so much of mayocks lisp in one weekend

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

True.  Kiper is cocky about his opinions, but he doesn't come off nearly as smug as Mayock.

Plus, I think Kiper's usually a bit more mainstream, and Mayock takes some more risks (a.k.a. is wrong more).

I wouldn't use such a source to add credibility to an argument, IGY. 

I agree about the playmaker bit, but with Tra and Runyan at the end of their careers, picking a guy like Justice, while not exciting, does make a ton of sense at this point. I wouldn't say that they need a playmaker on offense more than anything else, but they do need one. I would prefer that they get a madman in the linebacker corps, or a seriously mean DE or DT. But if they solidify the offensive line for the foreseeable future by adding a stud tackle, I'd be okay with it.....but bored at the draft party.

[ice grillin you]

right now they need playmakers far more than they need any lineman...thats not even in question...if you want a lineman for in a year or two when runyan and/or tra are gone then i cant really argue that tho i disagree with it being a bigger priority than a playmaking wr

i just found it interesting that his opinion was word for word what mine is...on this topic mike mayock has less credibility than me or you as we watch every eagle game at least once

[SunMo]

man, he really killed LenDale, that was painful.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Justice is definitely on my list of Eagles picks that would actually excite me at #14.  Trading up for him would concern me a little bit, but I have a feeling they brought him and D'Brick in at the same time for a reason.  If they really feel that Justice is a stud OT in the making, I have no qualms.  After all, I don't think the OL was great last year as it was, and if Andrews is never moving out to RT, then the Eagles absolutely need another OT of the future.  Even if Andrews is going to RT eventually, they've certainly been pimping Herremans as a possible OG or even 6th man type, so maybe that makes Justice the LT of the future.

Either way, I'd at least feel comfortable that the Eagles came out of the 1st round improving the top-shelf talent on the line.  IMO, Justice immediately gets plugged in at LG and causes a lot of the fringe/backup guys on the OL to bust their asses to make the team.

That said, I see so many ways in which this team can improve with that pick, both in 2006 and beyond... so I'm pretty open-minded about it.  As long as they don't take someone that could certainly be had much later in the round, I'll probably find a way to be excited about it.

One thing I'm fairly certain of is that, as usual, I have no farging idea what the Eagles are going to do in the draft.

again i cant really argue with anything yous are saying...and i would never cheapen the importance of the line...all i will say is this...whats the point of having a good line if a) you dont run the ball and b) the skill players you have for the most part cant get open and when they do they dont make plays

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

whats the point of having a good line if a) you dont run the ball and b) the skill players you have for the most part cant get open and when they do they dont make plays

a)  because you need a really good line to stop your QB from getting killed
b)  because you need the line to give the QB an above-average amount of time to throw when his targets are guys that struggle to break off the jam and get open

Duh.  Hahaha
