I was trying to think of someone that nobody has talked about whatsoever, but could conceivably happen.

Greg Olsen

This guy could potentially drop to the Eagles and considering how LJ Smiths has no contract extension ..........   What do you think, any chance of this happening?  Anger rising  ???

It wouldn't even be that big of a surprise, sadly.

Ed mentioned him as one of his 3 guys he'd want, but that is the only one who I have seen mention him. Whoever did the Inky's mock draft this morning had him going to Carolina with a comment about how the Eagles should trade up for him.

I would be angry, yes. He didn't do shtein in school and could be a workout warrior. He can't block either.

I'd be surprised (and pissed) if they went OL first this year. Hell, I really don't want any OL drafted this year.

Greg Olsen may be a workout warrior, but in fairness to him he hasn't exactly had very good QB play.  As far as him being a suprise pick, I wouldn't say that it really would be.

i think any surprise pick would involve them trading up, as we've pretty much covered anybody who is going to be around at 26

Joe Staley is someone I would say, it doesn't make much sense, but Andy has obvious love for O-linemen

Joe Staley will probably be long gone when the Eagles pick, from what I have heard by listening to NFL Radio he is really moving up the board.  Not to mention the fact it is a really weak OT class.  I think he will go to either KC or the NYGs.

yeah, that's why i said any surprise would involve them moving up to get someone.  we pretty much know who will be there at 26 so nobody should be a surprise there

Honestly I would be shocked if they move up in this draft considering their lack of picks.  I really hope they trade down, because this seems to be a draft that is solid throught the first four rounds and there is not much difference between players that are outside the top 5-10 players.

Agreed on being surprised should they trade up. The only way they do that is if they can get some picks by trading players or trading players to move up. And they don't have enough good players available to use just to trade up. Ryan Moats, Sam Rayburn, Dhani Jones and whomever else is deemed expendable would not be sufficient.

Although I do believe that Moats will be dealt on Sunday.

I also agree with Staley going to KC or NYG.

They could trade next year's picks if they wanted. They will probably have 10+.

As much as I'd love it... it's shock the hell out of me if they snagged a top notch LB in round one like Jon Beason.

It would shock the hell out of me if they aquired a top notch LB......ever.
