Danny Watkins, Philadelphia Eagle

[ice grillin you]

so no one....not even the experts can predict the future of a player...groundbreaking stuff but why did it take you 125 words to say it

maybe someone who went to the senior bowl and saw tape of him at baylor can. not some dolt on a message board who is too busy watching mildred pierce.

what? so football fans on a football message board cant give their opinions on football draft picks....gotcha

Watkins is the safest pick in the entire draft - the one player you can confidently say will be in the Pro Bowl in 2012.

lolol...so hes a lock pro bowler NEXT SEASON and hes the "safest" pick in the draft...doesnt sound safe to me...sounds like the best draft pick of the banner inc era

also was gary gosselin at the senior bowl because if not he cant give opinions on any of these players

I'll repeat this: If this were a normal offseason and the Eagles had addressed some of the problems on D fans  wouldn't be as outraged. If the Eagles had added Nmandi at corner and maybe signed a LB do you really think anyone would care that they addressed the Guard position in the draft?

short of getting a guy with an off the charts pedigree and talent oozing i cant envision a scenario where id ever take a guard in the first round....they are so easy to get later on in the draft or free agency and most importantly they arent very important in the overall big picture of wins and losses

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

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.

Don't you ever bring up Jon Harris again!  Years of therapy has helped erase him from my memory.

Watkins is the safest pick in the entire draft - the one player you can confidently say will be in the Pro Bowl in 2012. He's the best guard on the board, and some NFL teams were looking at him as both a center and tackle.

- Rick Gosselin

[PhillyPhreak54]

Rick Gosselin is one of the best, if not the best, draftnik journalists out there. His opinion is pretty highly thought of since he absolutely does a lot of research and talks to sources unlike someone like that fool Nolan Nawrocki from PFW who blasted Cam Newton and admitted he never spoke to the dude to address concerns and criticisms.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Let's throw a little fuel on this fire by saying that Gosselin swung and missed on Andy Dalton going in the first 20 picks.

You now have been exposed as a retard. You have no credibility.

[Don Ho]

They should have drafted a Samoan.

If he makes the Pro Bowl by the time he's 30 will you admit he's a good pick? I'm not even saying the guy is a good pick or isn't, I just want to know if he does make the Pro Bowl is it still a wasted pick?

And where is it written you shouldn't take a Guard with a 1st round pick? Know what that reminds me of? The Eagles and their reluctance to spend a top pick on a LB. Same concept.

[General_Failure]

Shawn Andrews made a Pro Bowl.

[SD]

At one time Shawn Andrews was considered one of the top 5 offensive lineman in the game

[General_Failure]

That's really helping them now, isn't it.

[Eagaholic]

yes, he's on he Giants
