eagles take a wr or lb in round 1? somebody must not be paying attention. this draft has tradeup written all over it.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

This draft more likely has trade down all over it.

[SunMo]

i'm thinking a lateral trade will be the play

but dood....

current draft grade c-

I'm going to have to agree as of now.

EDIT:  (because they stunk it up last year and still got the 14th pick instead of something much better)

obvious, but ha! nevertheless

If the Eagles hadn't already added Darren Howard, I'd be starting to lean strongly towards them selecting Kamerion Wimbley out of FSU.  6'3^7/8", 248 lbs.  Scouts and sites are pimping him as a "poor man's" DeMarcus Ware or Shawne Merriman and resigning him to playing OLB in a 3-4.  However, he has no less capacity for adding bulk than a Trent Cole and absolutely fits the definition of "throwing fastballs".  Considering they have a gunshot victim and a journeyman behind the top 3 guys at DE, Jevon Kearse has disappointed a bit and Darren Howard is not a slam dunk... I'm starting to think Wimbley is a distinct possibility.

But since they did add Howard, I think Bunkley would still be their first choice.  If he's not there, I think they go with Wimbley instead of Winston Justice, Chad Greenway, LenDale White, or Santonio Holmes.

6'3^7/8"

Your mother must be so proud.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I know, right?

They'll take Bunkley. If he is off the board, they'll trade down and grab Gabe Watson or Marcus McNeill. They are going with either of the lines in the first round. All the mocks who say LB, WR, etc., are grabbing at straws. I still see some listing Greenway (who did have decent pro-day btw).

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

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.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

A name to remember in round 2: Jonathan Lewis, DT, Va Tech.  I think the Eagles would be quite likely to take him if they do not land a DT in round 1.  He fits their M/O.  He's a penetrater/disrupter who's not known for run defense.

I still think the names to remember are Kyle Williams and Claude Wroten (only now because the charges against him were dropped)  because the Eagles hired LSU's Dline coach.

Agreed. He'd be a solid guy in round 2, John McCargo would be good too. S

Good thought. A guy I'd look at for the later rounds would be Melvin Oliver too (DE on LSU) but im not sure if he was a senior or not. He can play DT a little too and produced very well although theres nothing really special about him regarding athletic ability.

Regarding Wroten, its a shame really with his legal issues. We could have easily gotten a top 3 DT at pick 14 (Wroten was mid to late 1st before marijuana charges) and it wouldnt have been a reach. Now we need to hope someone ahead of us like CLE doesnt take Bunkley.
