Andy Walter, of the Delaware State News, reports Syracuse OL Steve Franklin worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles. He worked at both center and guard at Syracuse, but pro scouts seem to like him at center.

any college football player that tests positive at the combine, is in no doubt in my mind, a certifiable dumbass.

you get a thing in the mail when invited/register for the combine which tells you when you're going to be tested.

no player testing positive should even be considered within the 1st 3 rounds of the draft

Antaaj Hawthorne dropped to the 6th last year.

I remember people were blasting the Eagles for not picking him.

He actually ended up being taken with a pick the Eagles had previously controlled. I think they used it in the trade-up to get Todd wost manneans in the 4th.

Eagles | Team conducted pre-draft visit with T. Lutui

The Associated Press reports the Philadelphia Eagles conducted a pre-draft visit with USC OG Taitusi Lutui

Deuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!

(I wouldn't mind him in the 3rd, but only if the Eagles haven't already drafted OL.)

PhillyPhreak54 · April 25, 2006, 08:57:23 PM

And Bloomsberg OT/OG (and Frankford High) Jahri Evans was on DNL tonight and said the Eagles worked him out as well.

PhillyPhreak54 · April 25, 2006, 09:12:35 PM

Adam Caplan was on DNL and he said that the Eagles will also work out Yale QB Jeff Mroz privately after seeing him during basketball player Ed Nelson's workout

Some additions to the list. These are courtesy of goeagles99 from the EMB. He dug them up by reading through articles:

1. Brent Little - WR - Southern Illinois
2. Steve Franklin - OL - Syracuse
3. Devin Hester - CB/WR/RS - Miami
4. Brandon Guillory - DE - Louisiana-Monroe
5. Thomas Carroll - DE/LB - Miami

Hester is an intriguing prospect, but what position does he play for the Eagles other than return specialist.

PhillyPhreak54 · April 26, 2006, 10:26:31 PM

I dont know. I don't even think the scouts know yet either. He would've been best off to stay in school and concentrate on one position and continue to polish his return skills as well. But he was dumb and came out too early.

He'd be a guy who has no other contribution other than a returner. And for that reason I wouldn't want him. I don't want him taking a roster spot away from a WR or CB who can actually play the position/.
