Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

Absolutely valid. I dig the Maclin pick because I like them having the speed and playmaking ability of Pimp and Maclin to go along with Curtis, Baskett and Avant. That is a pretty solid group there.

Question is...whose gonna trade for Cheggie?

[ice grillin you]

id give vanny serrato a call

[PhillyPhreak54]

Maybe JAX will take him.

Mack is not a Pimp clone.

Reggie and a 5th to Minnesota for a 4th.  Some garbage like that.

Mack is not a Pimp clone.

That comparison's being made because they're close to the same size and both return punts. Maclin's more physical, he can break a tackle or two. Pimp runs better routes.

Both of the Eagles picks are 20 year old sophomores...

When Donovan was drafted, these guys were ten year olds. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So, they can play for the Eagles for 10 years until they're too old to get paid.

He also, per CBS' scouting report, caught the highest percentage of passes thrown to him in D1 last year.  Part of it has to do with some of the shorter routes he ran, but he has very solid hands, something that was a big question for Jackson coming out of Cal.  The biggest question is whether he can get off of physical press coverage and how quickly he can learn to run intermediate routes.

Somewhat interesting

10. Which draft pick will have the biggest impact on the league this fall? Missouri wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. The odds are pretty slim that we'll see a quarterback in this year's class have the kind of rookie seasons that Atlanta's Matt Ryan and Baltimore's Joe Flacco produced in 2008.

Maclin, however, should have an opportunity to help an offense in the same ways Denver's Eddie Royal and Philadelphia's DeSean Jackson helped theirs last year. Jackson, in particular, thrived on his quickness and explosiveness. Maclin has the potential to be equally dangerous as a slot receiver and return man.

good find SD

[QB Eagles]

I'm surprised to hear that since a lot of commentators criticized his route running and insinuated it would take a lot to coach his routes up to NFL level. No question he should have impact as a return man right away though.

NFLN seems to love the Maclin pick...will ESPN is questioning it.  He was the 2nd best WR in the draft and some even thought he was more pro-ready then Crabtree.  It was a great steal at 19
