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

[Rome]

I already shtein thrice today.  Pass.

[Diomedes]

I'm up to twice, no more coffee or bacon until tomorrow, sadly

I had wings last night and they put the chernobyl hot sauce on them.  They taste good going down but the next day your arse feels like it has lava flowing out of it.

Still worth it, though.

FWIW, Spadaro thinks Devin Thomas and Hardy would have an immediate impact if the Eagles drafted them, DeSean would have one on special teams only, and Kelly would be an unknown...

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Translation:

-They won't trade up for DeSean, and probably wouldn't even draft him at 19.  Same for Kelly
-Devin Thomas is a possibility at 19.
-If they don't go WR in the 1st, they may trade up in the 2nd for Hardy.


Yuck.

Devin Thomas is an intriguing prospect, the only thing is he is a 1 year wonder.  19 seems way too early for him though.

Yuck? Thomas and Hardy are the best possible choices for this team IMO. I'd take both over Jackson in a heartbeat.

You don't like their games?

SLOW BIG TEN

SLOW BIG TEN

That statement isn't quite as true as it was 5 years ago.  Really it doesn't matter though, you look at the SEC probably the fastest conference in the nation, they don't exactly produce an abundance of NFL WRs either.  2 of the better WRs in the NFL are from the Big 10, Burress and Edwards...granted both were top ten picks.  EIther way I don't care where the guy is from as long as he can make plays.

todd mcshays new mock is out and he has the eagles with branden albert in round one and early doucet in round two


i dont think theres much of a chance of albert being there at 19 but id be thrilled with that pick if he fell...you could plug him right into herremans spot for the next 10 years...andrews albert combo would be ridiculous

Hoffman revisits the Britt Hager trade and speculates on some Eagles draft day moves

Now you want an offensive lineman?  You're an enigma wrapped in a riddle, buddy.

[ice grillin you]

wasnt aware that you had to lock yourself into a specific player or position prior to the draft

if i can get the best interior lineman in the draft at 19 and fill a need position at the same time id be all over it

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

But getting a great exterior offensive lineman is a non-starter?

[ice grillin you]

there are no great tackles at 19...none of them would start next year nor would i want them to...and then you have people like williams who wouldnt be ready for possibly a couple years...however if jake long is there at 19 by all means take him
