Predict the 53

[Cerevant]

With Stallworth, what WR make the roster and who starts...

Gaffney gets cut, Pinky gets an injury settlement.

Starters:
Brown & Stallworth, Baskett in the slot until he hits the rookie wall.

Baskett in the slot until he hits the rookie wall

he already has

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Agreed.  Baskett has really only learned the "X" position so far and will probably only play in select packages as Stallworth learns the offense.  Avant has been focusing on the slot and will get more playing time than Hank this year.

Can Stallworth pick enough up to make an impact on opening day?

impact who knows....more of an impact than hank baskett....stallworth sweats out more talent on a daily basis than hank baskett has ever had in his body in his entire life

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Merrill Reese doesn't think the Eagles should go after A.J. Feeley.  I'm sold on Detmer now!!

EDIT:  Nevermind.  I think the man has finally lost it.  Fe just called Josh Parry "one of the more dependable blocking backs in the NFC".  Ha!  HAHA!  HAHAHAHAHAAAHHAAHAHHHAHAHHAHAAA

More comedy from poor ol' Merrill:  "Hank Baskett is going to be a big, BIG-TIME player."  He's comparing Baskett's possible value to the undrafted Willie Parker.  ohhhkay.

Supposedly Minnesota is interested in Feeley. Goodbye Mike McMahon.

And I hope Tapeh really shows something on Friday. Enough to have Reid send Josh packing.

Man why all of the hate towards Baskett? I know he hasn't done anything yet, but is it out of the realm of possibilities that the Eagles may have gotten a steal.  He is in a better position now not having to be a starter, you know maybe just maybe he could be a solid NFL WR.

Man why all of the hate towards Baskett?

its not hate....its reality

1. he wasnt drafted
2. someone traded him for billy mcmullen

just one of those and your nfl future is iffy....but both of them?...i hope hank got his degree

Mikey's 3rd take:

Here's my revised:

QB: McNabb, Garcia (2)
RB: Westbrook, Moats, Buckhalter, Mahe, Tapeh (5)
WR: Brown, Stallworth, Baskett, Avant, G Lew, D. McCants (6)
TE: Smith, Schobel, Bartrum (3)
OL: Thomas, Herremans, Jackson, Andrews, Runyan, Justice, Jean-Gilles, Fraley, S.Young, P. McCoy (10)

DL: Kearse, Howard, Cole, McDougle, J.Thomas,  Patterson, Bunkley, Walker, Rayburn, Ramsey (10)
LB: Trotter, McCoy, D.Jones, Gaither, Barber, Short (6)
DB: Sheppard, Brown, Hood, Strickland, Ware, Dawkins, Lewis, Considine, Reed (9)

K/P: Akers, Johnson (2)

POP:  Gocong, Bloom, Pinkston (unless cut)

[Seabiscuit36]

The guy was rated late firstday, early second day by most draft sources.  He slipped du2 running slow 40times, but last time i checked Anquan Boldin ran a 4.76 at the combine.  IGY, he's an upgrade over wilbur and i would say in the redzone an upgrade over Lewis or Pinky

Has it ever crossed your mind that he just might actually be good?

And have you ever considered that the Vikings aren't exactly smart?

Or how about the fact that there are a lot of players in the NFL who weren't drafted who are good ballplayers.

[ice grillin you]

if youre not drafted chances are youre not going to contribute in the nfl...and the odds are not good at all...i saw nothing at camp that would lead me to believe he can be anything more than a 4th wr/red zone guy...if he ends up being better than that then great.....but i dont see it

[ice grillin you]

And have you ever considered that the Vikings aren't exactly smart?

yeah and andy knows a good receiver when he sees one

[PhillyPhreak54]

Ok. But he's certainly shown more than the average UDFA.

Give him a chance before you inscribe his headstone and bury the guy
