i think its funny how all these years the teams in the league with the worst records have been being given the worst picks

And look how quickly they improved themselves!
It's not like they continued to pick high year after year.

I hope Mike Jenkins falls to the Eagles at 19, but highly unlikely. He's the best db in the draft for anyone that knows college football. Much better than Talib, who is getting way overhyped. He is slower than Bobby Taylor.

Jenkins is a playmaker and that is what the team needs. Has speed too.

Bobby wasn't fast, but he could cover like a motherfarger.

Couldn't tackle a lick, but not many DBs like to get dirty anyways.

I watched USF play at least 7 times this year bib.

USF vs Auburn was a great game.

Ha. Defending yourself against IGY's comments with such fervor only proves his comments all the more.

Quick. Say something.

Something.

There are so many college teams that I find it hard to believe anyone can really know how any of the players would project into the NFL. It's a crap shoot past the top five.

Having said that, I don't know much about NCAA football past the Terps and the ACC.

this is true even if you watch guys a lot theres a good chance you wont evaluate them correctly...but when you have the cole/reeses odf the world not watching at all and trying to evaluate its straight jokes...lol @ watching south florida "at least" seven times

hysterical u keep associating my name with Cole. You need a beat down brother

shorebird · January 28, 2008, 06:03:54 AM

Oh my, ressey cup wants to beat igy's butt. The drama is too much.

Really though, if we're not getting a reciever in free agency, is there any question that we take the best receiver on the board at 19? We need a playmaker to get this offense over the hump, same as every other year. I know DE and LB are needs, but I put WR way ahead of those positions right now. If the Eagles can build an offense that will put up over 20 pts. a game, the defense will look better anyway.

im still perplexed that people
would rather beat the cowboys
than have a much better draft pick
thats not possible and i refuse to believe you could really feel that way
then again i dont understand the dallas thing either so...

If I remember correctly (and I could be wrong), but I don't think it wasn't the Dallas win by itself that dropped the Eagles to #19. Your link said that it would have taken 2 more losses to put the Eagles in the top 10 right? I thought the Dallas win was the difference between #15-17 and #19 or something like that (Ed can verify that... as he was tracking it) so it's not a "much better" pick.

Either way... to me, there's no such thing as a meaningless win over Dallas. Just how a game against the Skins takes on extra meaning for you. Even the win over Buffalo meant something to me personally because I grew up there, have a lot of friends and family who are Bills fans and since the Eagles won, I don't have to hear that shtein for the next 4 years. They all mean something to somebody, man.

Again... given the way this year has gone, sure... it would have been great to be in the top 10. But I'm not gonna be pissed over an Eagles win. Ever. At the very least, it allows me to walk into my barber shop without having to hear about how they got their asses whooped that week.

Has it really come down to this? Actually defending wins around here?
