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

[ice grillin you]

yeah unreal

i also love how bradley makes one play in a meaningless late season game and hes the 'real deal'....and kolb whos only ever practiced during an nfl regular season has a "bright future" but spencer apparently sucks

That's a direct reply to several comments I made about the trade last year.

The Eagles could trade away a player destined to be a 15 year pro-bowler and he'd still find an angle to justify it.  farging retarded.

[Munson]

I don't proclaim to be a draft expert, nor do I claim to have watched Jackson for every game he's played. I haven't. But I did watch a good share of Cal games over the past couple years, and he never really stood out to me as that dominant guy. Has he for you? Maybe he has, I don't know. To each his own.

It seemed to me like he'd have one really good game, and then he'd be near invisible for about 3/4 games. I don't want a receiver who isn't going to show up week to week.

Maybe there isn't that guy available this year. All I know is what I see, and Hardy was a FORCE in the red zone. He pulled down a ton of TDs this year, and that was the issue with the Eagles' offense.

.id rather go down swinging for once and take the guy with the upside the crazy athlete for once instead of the solid workmalike player that he eagles always seem to love...i want trent coles not victor abiamiris

I agree with this...EXCEPT for at WR. This team can't draft WR's for shtein, and if they're going to draft one in needs to be a can't miss stud...because I no longer trust Andy Reid to develop a young WR in this offense. Reggie Brown has been his biggest success and he's a #2 WR at best.

[Munson]

I can't wait for the TV repair bill after they take Dan Connor.

He was a stud until that knee injury.

[methdeez]

and if they're going to draft one in needs to be a can't miss stud

No such thing. At any position.
Ever.

Calvin Johnson.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He is still the #2 receiver on that team, and he was far from being a stud last year.

[Munson]

He was still highly regarded as a can't miss pick, and he still pretty much was. No one expects any rookie WR to come in and be in the pro bowl, no matter what their pedigree. Randy Moss and Anquan Boldin are the exceptions, not the rule. He'll have a better year this year if healthy and will probably eventually overtake Roy Williams as the #1 WR there.

[troyhstewart]

What about Devin Thomas and Malcom Kelly?  IMO, that's what the Eagles need at WR.

if we stay around 19 and pick desean, and all he does it return kicks to the 37, success.  better than signing a farging qb, lb, oline project.  if we trade lito for a 2 or 3 or 4, i can't see andy reid resisting not packaging that and our 1 to move up and pick a l or r tackle.

exactly...its such a simple concept and one that everyone seems to get except for munson

[Munson]

I'd rather not spend a first round pick on a return guy who has "potential" to be a good NFL WR. Because in this offense god knows that "potential" won't be reached.

this is where youre confused and get it backwards

hes a wr with huge potential who is already a return man

as opposed to other wr's with less of a ceiling who will never be return men

if you dont want a wr at all then thats totally understandable and a fair point...but if you go wr at 19 i dont see how you dont go desean if youre the eagles

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

You're completely missing the point.  Don't the Eagles also have a dire need for a "return guy" anyway?

[Wingspan]

They have 2 more than adequate PRs on the roster. Brian Westbrook, and Lito Sheppard.
