With the First Pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles Select...

[ice grillin you]

why would you take someone at 19 who is so incredibly overrated

I hate this type of shtein. Because he's overrated must mean he's a terrible player right? I could come up with a long list of overrated players who are still some of the best.

im sorry if someone is "so incredibly overrated" im not taking him with my first pick...shtein if hes that overrated he might be there for your second pick...or trade back to the end of the first and take him

i mean what does someone like tom heckert have that you dont don...resources access and time....and thats it

well,  according  to my wife i have nothing but time.  every time she walks into my office i'm on this site our something birds/phillies/sixers related.  oh, and of course fantasy football related.  won't even get into the other sites she busts me on.

People talk about how he's Ed Reed in Sean Taylor's alive body and stupid shtein like that. They act as if Phillips has been a unanimous All American safety every year in his career. He's a very good player that is somehow expected to go top 10. If he was in last year's draft he'd probably be on Meriweather's level. 19 isn't exactly a reach, but it won't be like he'll come into the league and start making plays left and right. He's the best safety in a weak class. The Eagles need a safety badly so I wouldn't complain about the pick, although I'd prefer DaJaun Morgan in the 2nd round over Phillips in the 1st.

Thats friggen' nuts. Ed Reed is one of, if not the best defensive player out there today. No way can you compare a college player who hasn't lined up for a single down in the NFL to Ed Reed. For my money, Sean Taylor never compared to Reed.

According to the guy that runs NFL Draft Countdown (who is reporting from the Senior Bowl), the Eagles have shown interest in Brennan.   

[Dillen]

Why the surprise? Hawaii throws 80% of the time. Brennan is already used to it.

I had discussed the unstoppable nature of the dual-QB offense with paco a couple of years ago, when the skins were looking into getting Brunell and Campbell on the field together.  You just can't defend it!

[Diomedes]

Fred Davis would be nice to have.  I'd take Jacob Tamme, too, judging by what I read about him.

Dio you aren't allowed to be interested in possible draft picks.  You said my brother and I are obsessive over it. 

You are kind of obsessed with it, to be honest.  If anyone should be disallowed on the subject, it might be you.

Now, tell me what you think about the TEs I mentioned?

McNabb, Kolb, and Brennan on the field at the same time...UNSTOPPABLE!

oh my god!  even Don Ho is speechless.  well considering Brennan will still be around late on day 2, what the hell.

I some how doubt that.  He to me is a similar prospect to Kolb, so it really wouldn't make any sense for the Eagles to draft him.  So I guess it does.....make sense.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Brennan is a poor man's Kolb.  That's saying something.
