Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

[JackStraw]

Tell Gibson that Napa is just so proud of him they could just burst...Maybe get a few swell cellphone photos for the local paper sports section next to the girls volleyball box scores and ads for the annual booster crab feed.

Steuber says Jason Smith is in town today

That would take both of their first rounders to get him, imagine they give up 2 for this guy and the Giants end up with Boldin.

Going to Philly for a friends 21st birthday tonight, and I just found out I'll be drinking with Mike Gibson and edit: some white WR that isn't named Kevin Curtis.

Your credentials are beginning to rival those of MDS.

Philly.com has a number of vintage post draft pieces from each year of the AR era.

You can read all about the Eagles bold move to use their second rounder they got for Al Harris to move up and craftily muscle out the Giants for Jerome McDougle.

What I'd like to see happen: Eagles trade a 5th to move up a bit to take Knowshon Moreno. They then take a 2nd and 5th and ship it to Cinci for Ocho Cinco. Pipe dream but who cares.

So who's ready for them to trade out of the 1st again this year?!

They've already made their selection with Peters.

Exactly why I won't be cancelling any plans to watch this shtein.

Yep.  I mentioned that over at the other place.  That'd be pretty much my dream scenario.  Realistically, what they would have had to give up to get Boldin (or likely Edwards), they probably would have been left with nothing at LT... and no shot at Moreno. 

By going the Peters route (sending the 28th instead of 21st), they get their premiere LT... still be in a pretty good position to snag their RB and still end up with a top notch WR.  Best overall scenario for the team.

Although, I'm not so sure they'd have to give up their 2nd rounder for Ocho.  He's 31 and coming off a down year.  Think about it, the Eagles got T.O. for a 5th and Whiting.  The Patriots got Moss for a 4th.  I'd happily give a 3rd and later picks and wouldn't be too upset about a 2nd... I'm just not sure it would cost that much.

a 5th probably doesnt move you up even one spot in the first round...it will take more than that to move up several spots

[SD_Eagle5]

Draft value chart says a 5th could move a team up 1 or 2 spots

[ice grillin you]

its wrong then...no way can you move up in the first round for just a 5th round pick

[SD_Eagle5]

So you're saying in the history of the nfl draft no teams ever moved up a spot or two in the 1st round using a 5th round pick? fascinating

[ice grillin you]

if its happened id be shocked...but i can guarantee it was an abberation and is not happening anytime soon

and anway i just looked and unless im reading it wrong to move from 21 to 20 is worth 50 pts according to the chart and the first pick in the 5th round is worth 43

2006 draft...Baltimore traded from 13 to 12 with Cleveland and gave up a 6th-rd pick so the Eagles (or someone else) couldn't jump over them and take Ngata
