The 2007 Offseason Thread

I like that the first five picks are defensive players.

[ice grillin you]

you like another DE for the first pick?

if its jarvis moss i do

you wont like griffin as much at safety in one or two years if chris gocong and juqua thomas are the ends

i like griffin a lot and would be more than happy to get him...but they need young DE's really bad

[SunMo]

chris gocong is the next derrick thomas

[ice grillin you]

except his career will be a car wreck not end in one

I think these writers should specify if a mock draft represents what they think the teams will do, or if it represents what the writer thinks they should do.

Maybe the Eagles should draft a LB early, but we all know that they won't.

[mussa]

kearse, howard, cole, juqua and who knows maybe McDougle will show up this year( )

I don't want them taking a DE at number 1 or 2. We're good at DE for this year and next. We're not good at LB and S right now. Considine is unknown and Darth has a few years left. Trotter and Spikes are old and the other OLB position is unknown.

fwiw...espn the mag did  some research on first round picks over the last 15 years and found that linebackers have the highest % of success of any position


We're good at DE for this year and next

rly?

thats comforting to know that considine is an unknown

trotter and takeo are old but kearse and howard are not?...if the de position is good for the next two years then so are the linebackers

if you prefer a safety over a de thats fine a good argument can be made...im on record as loving griffin nelson and merriweather...but to say they dont need a young talented de (or two) on the roster is nuts

The Bucs loss hurt more the Super Bowl.  The Eagles were heads and shoulders better than that bullshtein farging team and they blew it.  The Patriots were just as good as the Eagles.  They had a better quarterback and their head coach is 10,000 times better than fat boy. 

Yeah, losing the Super Bowl hurt a lot and I mean it when I say I can't stand to watch it, but the Bucs loss is the worst single loss I've ever experienced as a sports fan.

sporting news eagles mock

1. Jarvis Moss DE Florida

My buddy is a huge Gators fan (spends a ridiculous amount of money on season tickets too but I digress) and he was up there for the Blue-Orange game a few days ago.  Anyway, he met Jarvis Moss and said he was a scary looking dude but that he was also extremely nice and signed a ton of autographs for fans at one of the local watering holes after the game.

As much as I hate the Gators and everything about that miserable shteinhole of a school, I wouldn't mind having Moss on the Eagles.  Dook can play and he's exactly the type of player the Eagles could use out there.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Yay!  Another tweener that can either play out of position at LB or be inconsistent at DE!

The next Reggie White isn't available this year.  You do what you can with what you have, Mr. Sunshine.

plus the eagles badly need an influx of athleticism on the front seven...and they need to get younger there....moss fits both needs perfectly...hed be a fine pick

I am with you on the Moss pick, but I would rather see them go after a guy like Tim Crowder in the second.  I really would like to see them get Griffin in the first. If they can't get him I really don't have a preference, other than that I don't what to see OL or WR(unless Ginn). 

[Zanshin]

Does this Tony Franklin also play barefoot?  That would be cool.
