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

They'll just cut Lito...to make cap room for Mahe's long term deal.

Am I missing something, or did rjs change his username to multiplescoregasims? Sounds like the man has been here forever.

I'm trying not to get too up for this draft. I want a reciever like DeSean, bad, but can't reasonably expect them to draft any player that will make an impact unless it's in the return game. It's been said that there are no impact recievers in this draft, but there are always one or two players that will do the unexpected and excell in the pro game. Only thing wrong with that is you can't expect Reid to find one.

It's like when it rains and you can't work, you getting a day off, but your still losing money.

Reid can pick some good players on occasion and recognize talent when other teams passed on them ie: McNabb, Westbrook, Brown, Sheppard.  I just don't expect him to pick a talented player and let him contribute immediately, that's why I'm still hoping for some kind of last minute shenanigans to get Williams, god knows the lions need picks and for some reason i feel that the whole "Williams will be a lion this year!" is disingenuous.  but I've made mistakes before...i mean i got married did i? who was i trying to impress with that move?

You mean Reggie Brown? Don't know about that one yet. I agree he's made some good picks, but none of them have been the pro-bowl reciever this team needs so bad.  Nearly every receiver he's ever drafted has been a bust, and Brown hasn't really proven much too me yet. He can draft good lineman, and defensive backs, but not recievers. For someone who would rather pass than run at any time on any down, receivers don't seem to be the high priority that you'd think they'd be. It's friggen' crazy.

I know it's all the rage to hate Reggie Brown but I personally think the kid can play.  The problem is fans expect him to be an all-pro and he's just not that talented.  He's a solid #2 type and there's nothing wrong with that, IMO.

[Drunkmasterflex]

He said players, not recievers.  As far as the draft is concerned if they could come away with a return man I think I would be happy.  I realize the Eagles draft more than likely will not be appealing otherwise.

I would hope most people can see that. My hate for him comes with all the drops. it's infuriating how many passes he has dropped in the early on the last two years.

I don't hate the guy, and I do think he can play better, but this team is full of #2 wr's that Ried's drafted on a team crying out for a go to #1. Thats why everyone wants every reciever Reid drafts to be the next Marvin Harrison or Tory Holt.

Every year I get some man-love for a guy they have no shot to get. I think the last time they had a shot to draft one of my crushes was when they took Andrews when Jackson was on the board. I hated the Andrews pick and I was so glad to be wrong about him. I thought he would be another Aaron Gibson, but he's turned into a pimp.

Now, back to my man love....Patrick Willis was the guy last year. Vernon Gholston is the guy this year.

But I wouldn't mind DeSean either. Thats who I think I have settled on. If they draft an OT, I'll bring the lighter fluid for igy's torch party.

[Drunkmasterflex]

Gholston would be sick, but like you said there is no shot.  As far as WRs go I could see that position falling, somewhat like it did 2 years ago.

There is something wrong with that. This team has never been short on #2 receivers and did not need another.

[Tomahawk]

UR a Fag: challange to manhood or offer of fellatio?

Talk to hbionic about that.  Or Tomahawk's mom, if you can find her.

Find her? We're all inside her

That simply isn't true.  When the Eagles drafted Brown they still had T.O. as the #1.  Are you saying that Brown as the #2 opposite a sane Terrell Owens wouldn't have made a great receiving tandem?

I love Gholston too. Him and Cole would equal elite pass rushing tandem for the next 8-10 years.

Todd Pinkston would have made a great #2 opposite TO. Munson would have been adequate opposite TO. #2 receiver is not, and has never been, a need for the Eagles.
