Kiper on Mike and Mike this morning just said after the USC pro-day that there is no way Winston Justice falls past Philadelphia. He said if he is there at fourteen it's a lock. I'd take it.

That might be a knockout blow to Calvin Armstrong's long-term hopes and dreams of NFL glory.

He'll find glory in being a long snapper once Bartrum retires. That, or being the dumbest looking backup lineman to ever grace the NFL's benches.

kiper must have hit the wall and is losing it...if anyone has a chance watch sportcenter this morning where he says justice will be there at 25

i really want a wr and moss in particular but id take justice even tho the pick would bore the hell out of me

then i want rocky mcintosh even tho i cant imagine him falling to the eagles second pick

There is basically zero chance that the Eagles will end up drafting Sinorice Moss.

I'd love for the to get Rocky. That dude could come in and play right away, blow Dhani out of the water.

Kiper is slowly going retarded, I saw on Sportscenter when he made the comment about Justice going to the Giants, but just now he was saying the Cardinals might take a shot at him now.......I take everything these talking heads say with a ten pound bag of salt. He changes his mind every time he opens his suckhole.

Here's a shocker... Ryan Moats sees the need for a "big back" as overblown:

BIG BACK DILEMMA

I remember how hard I was working last year to train for all of my workouts. I trained all the way up until two days before the Combine in Indianapolis.

There I ran a 4.4 40-yard dash. I had 19 reps in the bench press. I had a good mark in the vertical jump. Against the other running backs, I was in the top four in every category. However, in the end it didn't make a difference in the draft. I was drafted, but I had hoped that if I had a good performance at the Combine that I would move up into the second round. I knew that I would go in the third round whether I had a good performance in Indianapolis or not.

Now, I'm not complaining. I'm happy to be where I am at.

I worked out at the Combine, but every year there are more and more guys who pass on working out. I can tell you the truth about it. Guys who don't work out fall into one of two categories. Either they are really cocky, they think they are so special and too good or they are scared because they know they will run a bad time. I can understand if you are hurt and have a bad injury, but there are a lot of great players in college who will never get a chance to go to the Combine or have a chance to run for scouts.

I feel that it's disrespectful to those players when guys don't workout at the Combine or at their pro day.

After the Combine, there was a pro day at Louisiana Tech. I worked out for the scouts there as well. I did everything I could to possibly better my standing in the draft. Some guys play the game where they will go to the Combine only to tell the teams that he'll only work out at his pro day. If you can afford to do that, that's fine and dandy. That's a luxury if you are able to say, 'Come and see me work out at my pro day.' Some people only have one shot and that's at the Combine. If I told people that I was only working out at my pro day, how many people would have come to see me? Not many because I wasn't a superstar.

I feel for the people who don't have the luxury of getting a chance to workout for scouts because there are a lot deserving people who don't have the chance these highlight people get.

The Eagles have the 14th pick in this year's draft and I know there are people who want us to take a running back. More specifically, a big back. Honestly, I think the idea of a big back is stupid. People have a preference. Some people may like a big back and some people might not. I always had the same problem in college where people wanted a big back in front of me. Even though I would was successful on the field, people wanted the big back because they are amazed with the idea of a big back for some reason.

I keep telling people that if you look at the history of football, who are your premier backs? Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith, Priest Holmes. People will call them scatbacks, but what is a scatback? That creates a perception that these are backs that run away from people, they juke people out all the time and will never put a shouder into you. They lack a punch. They don't use that term to describe LaDainian Tomlinson and he has the same exact build as the other backs I've mentioned.

I don't know what a scatback is. All I know is a running back is a running back. We all do it in a different way to make it happen.

You may think smaller running backs are more prone to injury. That depends on how you run. You have to pick and choose your battles. If you pick and choose your battles the right way, if you use your ability to gain an upper hand you will decrease your risk of injury. That is something a running back learns over the course of his career. You learn how to manipulate different situations.

Reggie Bush looks like he'll be the No. 1 pick this year. He's super fast and a good player but with guys like him I can never tell how he's going to be in the NFL. He went to one of those big schools where everyone around you is good. My definition of a running back is, 'What can you make happen when everything goes wrong?' I know he has a lot of athletic ability because you can't sit back there and walk through a hole. I'm anxious to see what he's going to do.

I was just about to post that, had just copied it from the Birds website.

I gotta admit, I agree with the dude on a lot of his points. He is still borderline wetahted though.

i dont think they are taking a wr period but if they take chad jackson at 14 when they could trade back get extra picks and get a better receiver in moss i will lose it...

if justice and bunkley are gone at 14 tho dont they almost have to trade back or take a wr

Your assuming Moss will be a better pro, if you go by College production Jackson is a much better receiver.  I like Moss but he is not the best receiver out there I think Both Holmes and Jackson are better, you may even be able to throw Maurice Stovall ahead of him just because he has a much higher ceiling.  If Moss had more experience as a KR/PR I would be much higher on him.

You better put your flame suit on.

Moats needs to shut his mouth and realize that he is Brian Westbrook Lite, and is destined to get slinters in his ass until Westbrook goes down again.

He will be a great returnman based on what?  That his brother is? These small receivers are popular right now, but I still would rather have a guy that has some size so he can be a better red zone threat.
