Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

[The BIGSTUD]

jets chargers and saints could all easily take him...hell just because hes so far and away the best rb another team might take him if who they really wanted went off the board...and of course like i said the trade scenario...anyway you look at it it would be not impossible but pretty amazing if he straight fell to 21

I see the Saints and Chargers going defense and I see the Jets going QB or WR.

I just can't see the Chargers drafting a RB with Tomlinson and Sproles there. Even though Tomlinson is nearing the end, he's still highly paid, and they need some defensive depth.

The Saints have a terrible defense and can address RB later.

no one is debating that those teams could take something other than rb the point is there are numerous teams before 21 that easily may take knowshon...if youre an eagle fan you should know better than anyone that whatever you think a team needs is often not even close to what they actually take...espcially when a player like knowshon is sitting before them

[The BIGSTUD]

I do agree with you though. I don't think he'll be there at 21. I don't see the Saints and Chargers taking him, but to say it has no chance of happening would be ignorant. The chances are that he won't be there.

That begs the question: how much would you give to trade up for him if you want him that badly. Would you use your 2nd rounder? I wouldn't.

[ice grillin you]

i love knowshon and no way id give up my second for him...if youre gonna trade your second do it for a proven guy...cough cough boldin

can you imagine the outrage if they trade their second but its not for boldin

[The BIGSTUD]

Eckel(yes I know) is saying his sources are telling him the Eagles want Vontae Davis at 21 and if he's there they'll take him.

[ice grillin you]

wouldnt surprise me at all...like i was saying a second ago...the eagles have done some crazy shtein under reid...would VD really shock anyone?

[The BIGSTUD]

Shock me? Not at all. Piss me off? Definitely. They basically would be letting Sheldon hold their balls during draft day. I'm sorry, but the only reason to draft Davis would be because of this Sheldon BS.

[ice grillin you]

i disagree...even with sheldon the cb position lacks depth and a future...i said last week before the sheldon news that i thought jenkins was a possibility so VD would def not be a pick that was made because of sheldon

[The BIGSTUD]

I could agree with that, but even so I still think there are far more pressing needs to address right now. I guess it all depends on who is there. If Moreno is somehow there at 21 and the Eagles take Davis over him, it would be absolute pandemonium in Philly. It would be one of the bigger uproars the city has seen with the Eagles in recent memory. If Pettigrew was there and Moreno wasn't, it would still be bad, but not as bad. If neither is there and no surprise player falls, then I don't think it would piss fans off as much. Although I personally would still rather them address a need like WR if they can't get Boldin.

[ice grillin you]

yes

if they dont move out of 21 then it goes like this (if the below are there)

1. knowshon
2. pettigrew
3. anyone or everyone

[The BIGSTUD]

Would you take Nicks at 21? I like him, but don't love him. I'm always worried about taking WRs, because so many bust.

[PhillyPhreak54]

VD wouldn't shock me at all. I almost put him there in the CF mock contest.

[ice grillin you]

nicks would be a valid pick at the #3 spot in my above scenario

i mean provided someone unexpected doesnt drop to 21 (like a robert ayers) i wouldnt have a problem with them taking anyone there short of a some incredible reach...but that isnt andys MO

[Drunkmasterflex]

Knowshon won't get past 16

I think the Chargers have more pressing needs at DL, LB, and S to worry about a RB at this point.  Would I be shocked if they took Moreno, no but that would be a lot of money tied up in one position for at least a year.  If Moreno is off the board I could see the Eagles possibly taking Brown from UConn, everything I have heard on NFL Radio they love him and he fits almost perfectly.  Though Moreno does too.

[Drunkmasterflex]

I don't think I would be pissed if they took Davis, it would surprise me though.  There are some questions about his character and that is usually something the Eagles shy away from.  I can honestly say there would be no position that would really piss me off outside of T, G, or Qb.
