Danny Watkins, Philadelphia Eagle

[SunMo]

i know i'm probably getting my hopes up, but maybe they have plans to get Nnamdi.

[General_Failure]

They do. The plan is to offer him X amount of dollars, and to tell him to farg off if he asks for X+1 dollars.

there were at least four spots on defense that were a much bigger problem than right guard....they are also much more important and harder to fill positions...there would be no discernable difference at rg this year with mcglynn than with this guy

center was also a much bigger problem...if you really must go oline there then take pouncey who can play center as well as guard

Unless they dig Dowling, Williams or Harris at CB and think they get him at 54?

[Beermonkey]

I don't hate the pick, even though he looks more like an ice cream man or child molester than a "nasty" offensive lineman.

I got the same feeling.  Rosy-cheeked people give me the creeps.

[phillycrew]

I agree with IGY that it would have been nice to get Pouncey but I don't think he was worth trading another pick to jump up that high to get him.  I am okay with the Jimmy Smith since I don't know if we have the strong defensive leadership to keep him in-line.  I was also hoping for Camiri but I guess he was more of a run blocker and that isn't as much of a priority in this offense.  I will trust Reid that he thinks this guy is the best one for this scheme.  It would have been exciting to get Mark Ingram but I understand the need for OL with as atrocious as it was last year.

Definitely need to get a CB and LB today.

Canadiens are the new Mormons...  Eagles pushing the frontier of Whiteness.

2012 first round pick for Philadelphia Óskar Jónsson of Iceland.

[Rome]

The best thing about this pick is instead of waiting the normal eight years for him to be cut we'll only have to wait four when he turns thirty.

Yessssssssssssss!

If I saw him approaching my property, I would lock the family in a closet and get my Glock out of the safe.

RG was just as big of a need as CB. I would like see them get Dowling or Williams in round 2. Marvin Austin wouldnt be a bad option either.

complaining about one of your guard spots in football is like complaining about your left handed reliver in baseball....you are not going to have five great or even very good offensive lineman...as i mentioned lots of superbowl champions have pedestrian guards...and unless you think someone is very special you should shy away from guards in the first round....they just arent worth it...especially a 27 year old hockey player whos been playing football for five years...i love reading breakdowns of him where people say hes a 27 year old developmental guy with room to grow

I agree with IGY that it would have been nice to get Pouncey but I don't think he was worth trading another pick to jump up that high to get him. 

it probably wasnt worth it...my only point is if they are that hard up for an interior offensive lineman and they clearly were...then trade up and get a much better player who can play center for you...because center is where the real problem is

[Rome]

They gave up almost 50 sacks last year.  Their line sucked and they started to address that by drafting this clown.  Can't fault them for that.

addressing the line was a minor mistake...picking this clown was a major farg up

[MDS]

i love how you act like you have any idea if hes going to be good or not

you can argue on the value of using a 1st rounder to get a guard...which in itself is basically an interchangeable position...but you cant sit there and act like you have any clue if this guy is going to be alan faneca or mike mcglynn. cause no one heard of him until dickface goodell said his name.

so basically we have to hope andy and the jews are right. not exactly fun stuff.

By all accounts he was going five spots later to New England.  You're acting like they pulled a Jon Harris again, which is clearly not the case.   I wanted them to go up and pick a cornerback personally but if they were going to go after a lineman I can't fault them for going after Watkins.  He was one of the top linemen in the draft.
