Moss is an over rated prospect because of his bloodline.

actually hes not overrated at all...hes the most explosive offensive player in the draft this year not named reggie bush who is somewhat of a risk cause of his size...hes never gonna be a number one guy as there are some catches he just cant make but he has gamebreaking ability that doesnt come around that often...hes a much more explosive randel el...a guy that you find a way to get the ball to in open space and have him make plays whether it be on a reverse a short pass in the flat or down field on a go route...he also has the potential to be a pro bowl punt or kick returner

in short hes the kind of player the eagles need...the offense would automatically become much harder to defend with him out there

Oh, oh, I know! Or we could just take Santonio Holmes, who's a better Sinorice Moss and is actually worth a 1st rounder.

I disagree with Williams being a Matt Ware II, up until recently Williams was considered a top 10 pick.  Everytime I saw the dude play he was making plays I think he is going to be a player and if the Eagles got him I would be fairly happy if they got him.  The only thing is DB doesn't seem like a major need for this team. 

The player I would most like to see them take is Laurence Maroney....but I know that is not likely to happen.

Man, Pat Kirwan on Sirius was jockeying Bert Sims hard today, saying he is off the charts as far as the ratings for drafting players go. He was saying something of the point system they judge on being at 70 for the average prospects and he was at a 76 based on his vertical (41 inch--incredible for his height), 40 time and other drills. Rated him a superior athlete.

The best I heard of him, expecially from Kirwan who holds a ton of knowledge on these prospects. I know alot of mocks had the Eagles taking him, but its a shame we dont pay LB's in the 1st like that. Could be a stud..

Bert... or Ernie?  Methinks someone has Sesame Street on the brain.

Glad you picked it up Patt, knew it wouldnt slip past ya 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Isn't Ernie Sims kind of small anyway?  It would seem to make more sense just to call him Ernie.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah, he's 5'11 231.

[reese125]

why stop there? I like Ern

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yes, but do you like Big Ern McCraken?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yes, but do you like Big Ern McCraken?

I prefer Vanessa Angel.

Oh, oh, I know! Or we could just take Santonio Holmes, who's a better Sinorice Moss and is actually worth a 1st rounder.

because i dont believe that holmes is better than moss...plus if you can find a suitor you can trade down and get moss picking up extra picks

Decent discussion material on Rivals.com posted April 3. They still have the Birds going with Holmes over Jackson if they take a WR in the first.....

Philadelphia Eagles (6-10 in 2005)
Head Coach: Andy Reid (Eighth Year)

Key needs:
1. Wide receiver 2. Linebacker 3. Defensive tackle 4. Running back 5. Offensive lineman

1. Wide receiver: This problem continues to be an annual trouble area despite the fine addition of Jabar Gaffney. Releasing veteran Terrell Owens was addition by subtraction, but leaves the receiving corps with little big-play potential. The Eagles love both Santonio Holmes and Chad Jackson and have them high on their list in the middle of the first round. In an average receiver class, the best value on the board will be in the early rounds. The talent level drops dramatically, and they may consider moving up in the second or third rounds for receivers like Demetirus Williams, Maurice Stovall and Todd Watkins.

2. Linebacker: The Eagles have linebacker Jeremiah Trotter on the inside, with marginal talent on the outside in Dhani Jones and Keith Adams. They also lack depth with only last year's No. 2 pick Matt McCoy in the wings. They like DeMeco Ryans and Ernie Sims very much and will consider them with the 14th overall selection. They could address this area early and have linebacker like Jon Alston and Thomas Howard on their list for the second round.

3. Defensive Tackle: They lost Corey Simon last year and the remaining veterans took a step back. Mike Patterson, last year's top pick, played well in spurts but he might be the start of a completely new inside tandem. In a fairly deep class at this position, the best value on the board with their top three picks may be DT Rodrique Wright, John McCargo and Orien Harris in the middle of the first day. These are defenders with the versatility to fill a few roles in different schemes.

4. Running back: The Eagles have little depth at this position behind talented Brian Westbrook and last year's rookie Ryan Moats. Both the same type of runners. Neither is physically built for the feature role and the running game took a huge step back last fall. They need a quality backup with starting potential, and should have a chance at any back other than Reggie Bush. Though it is not their highest need, they have to look at either DeAngelo Williams or LenDale White in the first round. Most likely they will add a middle round prospect and like runners Wali Lundy and Cedric Humes on the second day.

5. Offensive lineman: The Eagles re-signed tackle Jon Runyan this offseason but left tackle Tra Thomas is coming off back surgery. They have some young talent behind them but still will be looking to upgrade this unit, though probably more on the interior and on the second day of the draft.

Insiders' Insights: The Eagles were aggressive in recent drafts, moving up for desired players like Jerome McDougle and Shawn Andrews. They are in the best position in the draft in a while and hope to parlay the three top picks into instant production. Some of their biggest needs are at the deepest areas of the draft – linebacker and defensive tackle. Though wide receiver remains their top priority, it offers only an average class overall. They will focus on a receiver in the top two rounds with Santonio Holmes their top rated prospect and Chad Jackson their second choice. They may be shocked to find a few highly regarded linebackers on the board like DeMeco Ryans and Ernie Sims. Either would be difficult to pass on, except if Holmes is available. Expect a linebacker and receiver on the first day.

First-round pick: Santonio Holmes, WR, Ohio State. He gives McNabb the much-needed deep threat.

Alternate pick: DeMeco Ryans, LB, Alabama. Playmaker could fit on either side in this scheme.
