Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

A league source said today that Pitt running back LeSean McCoy will make a pre-draft visit with the Eagles.

            McCoy, a star at Bishop McDevitt High School in Harrisburg, ran for 2,816 yards and 35 touchdowns in just two seasons with the Panthers. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound running back also proved to be a strong receiver coming out of the backfield with 65 career receptions for 549 yards.

            Another league source said Chris "Beanie" Wells, the star running back from Ohio State, does not have a pre-draft visit scheduled in Philadelphia. The source said the Eagles did interview Wells at the scouting combine in Indianapolis. Wells finished his three-year career at Ohio State with 585 carries for 3,382 yards and 30 touchdowns.

            Pre-draft visits do not always mean the Eagles intend to draft a player. There have been times when the Eagles have drafted a player in the first round even though that player did not visit the NovaCare Complex beforehand.

Per the Inky...I like this.

If the Eagles keep both of there first round picks you would think that one of them has to be a running back.  They literally have nothing behind Westbrook, given my choice I would like to see Moreno, McCoy, Wells in that order.  Skill players have tended to fall over the past 3 drafts and I wouldn't be shocked if it happened again this year. 

McCoy can go to hell with Kevin Jones and all the other dickfargs that dickteased my beloved Nitts.  farg McCoy.

Most of the mocks I've seen have McCoy in the 2nd round now, with Donald Brown going in the 1st instead...

Alabama OT Andre Smith will have visits/workouts with five teams, including three teams holding top-10 picks.

Smith, the Outland Trophy winner whose unannounced departure from last month's combine raised red flags, met with Baltimore (No. 26 pick) the past two days. On deck is Cincinnati, which holds the sixth overall pick.

Smith also has visits scheduled later this week and next week with San Francisco (No. 10), Philadelphia (Nos. 21 and 28), the New York Jets (No. 17) and Cleveland (No. 5).

Utah's Smith In Demand
Posted by Aaron Wilson on April 2, 2009, 8:38 p.m.

University of Utah cornerback Sean Smith is drawing heavy interest from NFL teams, according to a league source.

Smith has been scheduled for visits with the Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens and the Seattle Seahawks.

The Seahawks, St. Louis Rams, Cleveland Browns, Eagles and the Dolphins are among the teams that have set up private workouts with Smith.

Listed at nearly 6′4 and 214 pounds, Smith is one of the most imposing cornerbacks to enter the draft in recent league history.

Smith was clocked in 4.43 seconds during his campus Pro Day workout, improving upon his 4.50 time at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Over the past two seasons, the former wide receiver intercepted nine passes and knocked down 15 passes.

Smith registered a 34-inch vertical leap at the combine and a 9-11 broad jump.

Eugene Monroe visiting Monday

If they trade up for any offensive lineman, they better think he's NFL-ready for game 1, a la Shawn Andrews.

i think the o line is fine unless they seem to think #73 has more than a case of the mondays.  plus, they are decent finding them later on.  there's bigger needs than o line.  or o line depth. 

traded up and got andrews and justice...

anyone following that olineman from last year?  the one who "shot to the top" of draft charts...what's his face?  branden albert...how'd he do last year...just curious...

[BigEd76]

like anyone except sarge watches the Chiefs...

One of the first picks is really starting to smell like an OT.  I agree with pinoy that the OL is fine and the staff has done a good job securing lineman later in the draft (with the exception of Justice).  UNLESS Andrews #73 is a whack job.  That would be a problem.
