Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

Since Fitzgerald was drafted in 04', only Braylon and Calvin Johnson have been Top 10 WR picks who have been worthy of the selection. Im not syaing Crabtree won't be worthy, but overall WR is a crapshoot...you can get em' anywhere.

Desean was a 2nd rounder. Just sayin...

So was Steve Smith and Ocho Cinco among a ton of others.

Welker was undrafted. The list goes on...

I was just reading a bio on that guy...his ass is back in the clink.

No doubt you are correct, Die-Hard. Unfortunately the Eagles aren't very adept at evaluating the position.

for the most part stud wr's do go high tho...they arent exactly running backs where you grab great ones real late...imo while rb and qb's rely on tons of other factors to succeed wr mostly rely on themselves to become great players so you really gotta go after the ones with the best measureables...which naturally gravitate to the first two rounds

that being said as much as i like him i dont think crabtree is the kind of guy you give up a first to get

If he's there and the Eagles have the opportunity to get him and don't they should burn the NovaCare down with everyone in it.

i would by no means be upset with that...i might even cheer it...but sitting here in march and thinking it thru i cant agree

sorry buddy

Rome · March 26, 2009, 04:35:17 PM

If there's an undersized overrated offensive linemen available I have no doubt the fat boy will go after him. But that's a post for another thread.

shorebird · March 26, 2009, 04:41:33 PM

I just hope Rome is right and they package two picks to move up, the higher they pick, the less chance they have of screwing it up.

kiper/mcshay eagle picks from their most recent mocks...

21. Philadelphia Eagles (9-6-1)

Kiper pick: Donald Brown, RB, Connecticut -- Brown could end up being one of the more productive rookie backs in 2009 because of his all-around skills and tremendous character.

McShay pick: Knowshon Moreno -- Chris Wells would be a better complement to Brian Westbrook in the short term, but Moreno's versatility makes him a better fit to ultimately succeed Westbrook in the Eagles' pass-happy system. In the meantime, Moreno is fully capable of taking some of the load off Westbrook's shoulders.

28. Philadelphia Eagles (from 12-4 CAR) (9-6-1)

Kiper pick: Michael Oher -- Oher is one of the more intriguing prospects in the draft. He is loaded with talent and can dominate the defense he's working against, but he also seems to have lapses in concentration when he struggles to keep his opponents at bay.

McShay pick: Eben Britton, OT, Arizona -- Britton has surprisingly quick feet for his size (6-foot-6, 309 pounds) and ultimately could develop into a better option than Winston Justice at the left tackle position vacated by Tre Thomas, who signed with the Jaguars.

pretty sure mds is a better option at LT than winston justice

They'd be lucky to have either Oher or Britton available at 28, but I'd be happy with the pick.

Reid just said at the owners meetings that he thought Herremans should have gone to the PB. After the season he said Herremans was their best O-lineman. He was drafted as a LT, and he certainly seems to have the coaches trust. I think their plan is if one of the two tackles doesn't fall to them (unless maybe they just move up a few spots), Herremans will start at LT and either The Big Kid or The Big Adolescent plays RT.

Drunkmasterflex · March 26, 2009, 06:04:37 PM

To me Herremans always seemed like a better fit at tackle. Personally, I am not sold on any of the offensive tackles in this years draft other than Monroe. That is mainly because UVA linemen seem to play pretty well in the NFL. As far as the rest they all seem to have question marks. I think they need to go RB first and wouldn't care which of the top 4 it was.
