Big Weirdo Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I've been reading a lot of mock draft sites lately because I'm a loser and have no life. But also because I love the NFL and I can't wait for the draft because I'm a loser and have no life. I already feel something really ****ty happening for the Eagles. A lot of mock drafts have us taking an RB and an OT in the first round. (OT's like Beatty and Britton are likely to fall between the 21st and 28th picks) I'd love to have Knowshon and if he's there at 21 I want the Eagles to take him. They won't because they believe you can find RB talent later in the draft (see: Brian Westbrook and Tom Heckert's statements on RB talent in the draft) Andy LOVES lineman and I could easily see him trading up to get one if a certain player he covets falls within position of a trade. Having two first rounders makes it possible for us to move up to the top 10. I'd hate this move though. Here's what will happen though. We'll use 21 on an OT like Beatty or Britton and then trade the 28th pick to gather more picks in the second round and we'll take a DT or a DE. Or a project from Cal Poly Tech. **** my life. I can feel it coming. Who's the Houston QB this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Joe Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I would love it if the Giants could get the project from Cal Poly Tech at the end of the third round. Anyway, I don't see what you're worried about the Eagles have a pretty good team. Even if they completely screw up the draft, they'll still be alright.

pjfootballer Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'm not setting myself up this year. I think we'll come out with great expectations and end up losers like we always do. I need a break from sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da#1skinsfan Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 one of those pics will be traded anyway unless knowshon/wells is there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 The undersized DE/OLB hybrid from Richmond (name escapes me at the moment) has all the makings of an Andy Reid draft-day shocker. I've been so consistently shocked by the Eagles draft picks over the years that I actually spend time these days looking for the guy who is going to shock me when the Eagles use their first pick on him. Oh well. The shocker picks have been been just about as successful over the years as the chalk picks. I've finally convinced myself not to tie myself to any player before the draft and not to get too bummed over a pick that doesn't make sense to me. Last year was the first time I succeeded, and we ended up with a pretty nice rookie class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jones Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I can see the Birds trading up to grab an OT using their two first round picks. Just have to find a team willing to trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief skin Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Eagles have a load of picks they could package a nice deal and move up. F-ING scary for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mac Patty Wack Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah the Eagles are pretty boring drafters. But it's okay, I have a life and still am obsessed with the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Just take it with a grain of salt. It is not life or death here, it is a game. I know it's not life or death, but some of us have varying degrees of emotions when the team loses. Been a long time since we could call our team elite.

HeHateMe Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Eagles will be fine. They find gems later on just as much as they miss on the early picks. They build through the draft and will continue to do so this year. I've always respected the Eagles ability to find talented contributors in any round of the draft.

It's so good, they've failed to win the SB in the entire history of the SB. Really good. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royallypwned Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 If Knowshon Moreno goes to the Eagles, I'll kill myself. I want my UGA boys staying out of the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still searching for a QB that doesn't choke. That said, a lot of teams are in the same position. Including the Cowboys. Other than that, they do better than most teams.

Westbrook36 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Pettigrew at 21. Moreno at 28. Trade up into the first 10 picks of round 2 and take Alex Mack. I'd cum all over myself if that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I think the Eagles strategy is to draft all of the linemen so the rest of the NFL doesnt have any and have to start filling those holes with position players. Or they have no strategy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebowski Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 For what it's worth I really DON'T want the eagles to draft Knowshown. So at least one of us will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I think the Eagles strategy is to draft all of the linemen so the rest of the NFL doesnt have any and have to start filling those holes with position players.Or they have no strategy... In Andy Reid's tenure, the Eagles have drafted one offensive lineman in the first round and two offensive linemen in the second round. By comparison, they've selected one wide receiver in the first round and three wide receivers in the second round. Considering there are five starting linemen and two starting receivers, the facts suggest the perception of the Eagles draft value is grossly out of whack.
