Who do you think is going in the First to the Birds?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

on SAM position: 

I think a lot can happen and any one of the scenarios could happen. I will not venture a guess. I think Jones must play better. No question. I think the Eagles could use a high draft pick at SAM. I think they could trade for a guy and I think they could get a guy who is cut.

Trade for rights to Hillenmeyer!  Holler at your boiy!

Asked him about Gradkowski:

He's a very good prospect. Gradkowski is very mobile and an accurate quarterback, but he doesn't have the strongest arm. My concern with Gradkowski is whether he can make the crucial out-route in the NFL. His height is a concern; he measured in at just over 6-foot-1, but his mobility will by him some time. He was very impressive at Toledo and was really productive. I see the comparison to Garcia and maybe with some coaching he will develop into a starting quarterback. One player Gradkowski reminds me of is Giovanni Carmazzi, who was drafted by the Niners in the third round of the 2000 draft.

He had the Birds taking Drew Olson in the fifth round. I say farg that - get Gradkowski!

Chris Steuber is the guy on DraftHype.com.  His picks aren't that great, but he spent a lot of time creating a Flash animation mock draft for his homepage...

I hate the idea of Justice, because we have more pressing needs right now. I don't want a player who is going to sit around and learn for a year.

Yet, in the other thread you were talking about how if McNabb got injured, season over.  If that's your concern, wouldn't it make sense to draft a top level talent who's job is to protect him?

Why not draft a OT next season? You know, when we actually might need one.

I see that you've been adequately educated on why it's a rediculous idea to have to draft an OT to start his rookie year... so I guess I don't have to revisit that.

Thing is though... for the last 2-3 pages of this thread, you've been pimping Jackson and Holmes at #14... now you want a DT?  Quit flip-flopping and make up your mind.

I've always wanted a DT first. I only want a WR if Bunkley and Ngata are gone and we can't get Walker.

Jets | Rumor alert: NFL Draft trade
Tue, 25 Apr 2006 08:46:30 -0700

Rich Cimini, of the New York Daily News, reports one rumor making the rounds has the New York Jets (No. 4) swapping their first-round pick with the Oakland Raiders (No. 7), who want a quarterback. The Jets then select Oregon DT Haloti Ngata with the seventh pick. The Jets don't have a pure nose tackle for their new 3-4 scheme.

We might have to get to 6 to get Ngata now.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

If the Jets move to 7 with the intent of selecting Ngata, the Eagles aren't going to get Ngata.

[The BIGSTUD]

Exactly.

errr

some guy i never heard of is answering draft questions on that other board if anyone's interested.

so i guess this guy is somehow affiliated with the Birds?  Considering he joined the EMB yesterday and already has his own section I'm guessing yes.  He seems to know what he's talking about, even though he thinks every single player is going to be drafted in the 3rd or better.

If this is true, I'm really surprised that Oakland is giving up on Walter already.  They were pimping him big time last year as the QB of the future.  I still don't see it happening, especially with them having Brooks now too.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Oakland might actually be trading up for Hawk.

[Rome]

The Eagles would have to give up multiple picks to get to 6.  Does anyone actually foresee Andy doing this?

Come on...

[The BIGSTUD]

First 3rd and 4th to get to 8. I'd see him doing that.

tis the week of misleading information....and everyone is bitin'!
