Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

Yeah I'm sure the sackmaster is in high demand.

Lito and Justice for a 6th in 2010.

I think Lito should bring at least a 4th or maybe a third round pick. It is hard to say with these in demand positions because their market can vary widely. Christ, they got picks for Josh Parry and Artis Hicks so who knows? If Terence Newman blows a knee out during game one and is put on IR, Jerruh probably gives a second for Lito. Some of those games still come back to haunt him.

They moved up a few spots in the 4th for Artis Hicks. That's it.

This team has too many holes to fill to spend both first round picks on a tackle unless they address everything in FA.

They need an OT/RB/FS/TE and that's with not even addressing WR and pretending the LBs are as good as the FO says they are.

I suppose I'd be happy with bringing in Scaife, resigning one of Tra or Runyan, spending one of the two firsts on an OT and the other on either Pettigrew (if they didn't pick up Scaife) or Moreno (if they did) and their 2nd round pick on whichever position they didn't select (RB/FS).

I also am not sure how thrilled I am about bringing in Housh but I'd much rather sign him than Ocho Cinco. Jackson needs to develop into more of a deep threat then he was this year to make Houshmanzadeh really worthwhile though. He's the best possession receiver in the league--but the Eagles need a pure burner. Jackson has the speed, but until the end of the season showed zero consistency on any deep routes. For Housh to be really valuable they need someone other defenses have to adjust for vertically.

Are you comparing Lito to Artis Hicks??

PoopyfaceMcGee · February 20, 2009, 01:25:03 PM

No, you were.

I'd keep Lito if they're not getting at least a 3rd for him. He's a veteran playmaker with a cap friendly deal. I think he still has more value than he's being given credit for.

They also got a 6th round pick which together gave the equivalent of an early to mid 5th rounder, right about where they got Trent Cole the year before.

I'm kinda likin' Brian Robiskie from Ohio State this weekend at the combine. He would be a guy I'd like to see them take a shot on.

Seabiscuit36 · February 22, 2009, 05:05:19 PM

he's avant

FWIW Spadaro (who knows nothing about college football) has been drooling over Pettigrew the last 3 days

Eagaholic · March 01, 2009, 03:02:10 PM

I guess with his slow 40 at the combine he could easily be there for the Eagles pick.

He can come in and teach the other TE's how to block

Which means they have zero intention of drafting him.

Which means absolutely nothing either way.
