Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

[stalker]

Thought I'd bring a little levity to the board! I've been listening to the Stern show the last few weeks and the old shows with Billy West impersonating Marge Schott have me cracking up. She uses Coloreds and Darkies when referring to our African-American brothers. Myself, I prefer the name "presidents" when making disparaging remarks about people of African descent.

If Crabtree is there, and he likely won't be, when they pick I would not scream if they spent a pick on him. But I would prefer to upgrade the spots that rjs mentioned. Upgrading those spots, bringing back McNabb on a new deal and keeping these WRs the same is good with me.

to win now what spots need upgrading more than wr...te is the only one i can think of...sure they need tackles and a safety but that is for the future...to improve the team in the next nine months in order to win it all in jan '10 then wr is at or near the top of the list...when you want to win right away its not enough to have players that if everything goes right could win a championship...you want to be well on the other side of the fence and have talent that should win a title

I would like another stud DE opposite Cole. Parker and Howard are good role players, but I want another guy who defenses must look after.

TE
DE
FB
RB
OT
WR

That's how I'd rank it right now. Like I said, I would welcome a new WR in, but I don't see it as a pressing need as much as before.

You can argue that certain positions on defense could be upgraded, but the fact is that the defense right now is pretty freaking lights out. A safety to replace Dawkins and a young DE or a better LB. You can nitpick about those but really, the offense has many more specific needs.

I'd like to see this guy drafted with one of the 1's.

I'd like to see this guy drafted with one of the 1's.

I want to see them trade the 1's to get someone studly near the top of the round.

[Seabiscuit36]

I'd like to see this guy drafted with one of the 1's.

They will Trade the 1's to get someone of good character near the top of the 2nd round.

ha...the Eagles' pick could be after the Carolina one after all

btw it'll be #21 if they don't reach Tampa

The Carolina pick is #28 and will jump to #27 if the Ravens win next week

Tebow announced today that he's going back to Florida for his senior year

but no thinking draft right now, right igs?

[ice grillin you]

pretty sure im never not thinking draft

[BigEd76]

hmm.... Taylor Mays is returning to USC for his senior year

[ice grillin you]

thats actually great news...now the eagles can get him next year

[BigEd76]

Looks like all of the Oklahoma guys are returning to school, including Gresham.

I guess it's a lock that one pick will be an OT and the other will be traded out

[pinoyboy2pt0]

time to turn our attention to the hidden OT's of division III.

i really have no idea who we draft.  i was thinking TE, but then celek went bonkers.  no way we draft DT.  probably not DE.  we have lots of G's.  god forbid greg lewis going anywhere.  the rest of our wr's aren't going anywhere.

Runyan has had a rough year, so I say we spend 1 of our 1sts on a RT
the second...RB?  WLB?  S? 

haven't been following college ball this year, but like biged said, wouldn't be surprised to see us trade out of the 1st with one of our picks.
