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

[ice grillin you]

It is entirely possible that these players are dumb as well as talentless. The two are not mutually exclusive.

exactly...they are bums and the offense is ridiculous...all the coaches and numerous different players that have come thru philly have admitted how large and intricate the offensive playbook is

[Drunkmasterflex]

Since the Eagles are supposedly bringing in all of these WRs to look at maybe they are going to take the old Jimmy Johnson approach and draft 3 guys of the same position since it is clearly a need.  I know that isn't going to happen, but I often wondered why Reid and company have never taken that approach.  They always seem to stock pile picks, but they seem to pick guys to add depth and never take any gambles (Bloom not included).

i would love to see Spads spaz out if they selected 3 WRs with the first 3 picks.

one of them has to pan out no?

[Drunkmasterflex]

no, no it doesn't

The one time he did (2002, DB)... it worked out pretty good.

I'm leaning towards OT with the first pick...probably a trade up for Chris Williams, and a WR in the 2nd...whoever they like

[ice grillin you]

if they actually trade up for chris williams im down to organize flames and pitchforks and march on novacare


dook is a first round project

[SD_Eagle5]

I heard somewhere maybe Ray Diddy that Reid has a hard on for him. I doubt he makes it to the teens so a trade up would be necessary.

[ice grillin you]

i pretty much expect them to take a lineman and that would be whatever...but to pay extra to get a guy like williams would really piss me off when they need more immediate help

[MultipleScoregasims]

predicition....

we will trade lito to move up in the draft and take Jeff Otah in the first round.  he will then invariably be cut, hurt, or wont play until 2010.  if he does play in 2010 he will get hurt or prove to be the bust we all know he will be.

youre worse than me son

youre worse than me son

with the eagles i try to keep my goals and expectations so low that i'm only mildly pissed off when they muff things up

If the Eagles draft a developmental offensive lineman in the first round I'll pound my fist in impotent rage.  And then drink another beer.

conversely I'll be drinking another beer no matter who they draft

[Drunkmasterflex]

Feva you bring up a good point, the one time they did it worked out pretty well.  Of course that was at a position the Eagles really value, they clearly don't value WRs that much.

As far as them using Lito to trade up I don't have a problem with that as long as they get something else along with it like a 2nd or 3rd rounder.
