Bryan Bennett - the ex-Oregon dude that many in the media thought the Eagles would actually draft - signed with Indy.

i haven't watched college football regularly since allen pinkett...but it seems like the eagles did well, with the exception of addressing the o-line. the 3rd round lb seems to be the only questionable pick...maybe go oline there. whatevs.

go sam bradford!

I can't fault the pick if the personnel guys had him rated higher than any available OL guys.

They are really thin there but no thinner than they were at DB or WR. It's easier to get a fat ass OG than a top notch WR or S/CB.

has there been any talk of converting that big dude from bc they drafted in the last round to the oline? thought i read/heard that somewhere but i can't find it.

I think they fully expected to go OL in the 4th round, but then a run on linemen began and heavily depleted the guys the Eagles were interested in. That's when they bailed out. No way of knowing if they'd make the Hicks pick again if they knew how the 4th round was going to go.

The linemen selected between the Eagles 3rd and 4th round picks were Chaz Green, T. J. Clemmings, Tre' Jackson, and Arie Kouandjio. Clemmings seems like a Kelly guy, right down to the injury history.

They can still get La'el Collins if he's cleared, but something tells me he could not only be fully cleared, but he could cure cancer and save 100 children from a burning building, and Chip Kelly still wouldn't touch him because once he was questioned by police, that was it for any Chip Kelly interest permanently.

Deja vu all over again. That's what they said last year.

I think the Jags made a huge mistake not taking Williams. Fowler is going to bust out. Gator flag.

Ahem...

I do feel bad for the kid, though. Not.

And by the way, he was the kid who got a chuckle on national signing day by kissing the FSU hat, putting it down, and then signing with UF.

So double farg him.
