trust me if i know how awful fraley is they do too

I think Jamaal Jackson will be an OK player for them.  If Fraley beats him out, then we start to worry.

[Drunkmasterflex]

I didn't get to see much of the season last year but what I know about Fraley is as long as there is talent around him he will be fine.  As far as Mangold I wouldn't have a problem if they took him I just would if they did in the first unless it was at the bottom.  I agree with FF's point about Bentley I think they just wanted to add an elite player.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

For those of you who think I hate on Greenway too much, I have him going #21 to the Pats in my latest mock.

That's fair, IMO.

I don't think he is awful. He's been solid here and I think he can be again after the injury. However, he does get abused against 3-4's where the nosetackle lines up over top of him and he's not the greatest run blocker, but he isn't a bad player.

This is not to say that we couldn't use an upgrade there, we can certainly use a more complete player... but honeybuns is not as bad as you're saying.

Well if he is good enough to go to NE at #21 he is certainly good enough for #14 because the players from 14 to 44 are all about the same in this draft.  If the Eagles just wouldn't have won that damn Rams game they would be at least at #10.

Thank you,

As Hank's sponsor last year, your support is appreciated.  He'll be back and ready to go.

Eagles | Team could select first wide receiver in NFL Draft
Wed, 26 Apr 2006 19:16:21 -0700

Bob Brookover, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports the Philadelphia Eagles have a chance to select the first wide receiver in the NFL Draft Saturday, April 29. The last time the Eagles took the first wide receiver in the draft was 40 years ago in 1966 when the team took former WR Ben Hawkins.



Eagles | Team could draft a wide receiver first-day

Bob Brookover, of the Philadelphia Inquirer, reports the Philadelphia Eagles could decide to pick a wide receiver on the first-day of the draft. The team could draft Florida WR Chad Jackson or Ohio State WR Santonio Holmes with the No. 14 overall pick. Those are the only two wide receivers projected by many to go in the first round. If the team passes on a wide receiver in the first-round, they could try to draft Notre Dame WR Maurice Stovall in a later round.

Thanks for the inside info Bob.  I was wondering who the Eagles "could decide" to draft.

I think what he meant to say was something like this:


Eagles | Team could draft a defensive tackle, offensive lineman, defensive end, linebacker, safety or wide receiver first-day
Wed, 26 Apr 2006 19:09:12 -0700

EagleFeva, of Atlanta, GA, reports the Philadelphia Eagles could decide to pick a defensive tackle, offensive lineman, linebacker, safety or wide receiver on the first-day of the draft. The team could draft Oregon DT Haloti Ngata or Florida State DT Broderick Bunkley or USC OT Winston Justice or Florida State DE Kamerion Wimbley or Florida State LB Ernie Sims or Iowa LB Chad Greenway or Ohio State LB Bobby Carpenter or Texas S/CB Michael Huff or Florida WR Chad Jackson or Ohio State WR Santonio Holmes with the No. 14 overall pick. These are all players projected by many to go in the first round. If the team passes on a defensive tackle, offensive lineman, linebacker, safety or wide receiver in the first-round, they could try to draft LSU DT Claude Wroten or Michigan DT Gabe Watson or Miami OT Eric Winston or NC State DE Manny Lawson or Alabama LB DeMeco Ryans or Ohio State S Donte Whitner or Notre Dame WR Maurice Stovall in a later round.

Well, Dr. Z has us taking Bobby Carpenter at 14.
Of course, by the end, I think he was falling over drunk......

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Dr. Z's only positive contribution to sportswriting is his yearly rip on NFL announcers.

[ice grillin you]

dr z also has bunkley at 21

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

dr z also has bunkley at 21

It's debatable whether or not he deserves to go there, but downright retarded to think he actually will.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Pasquerelli and Clayton are doing their "interactive" live draft.

They had Leinart going to the Raiders at #7.  Ha!

14. Eagles
Ernie Sims, LB, Florida State
Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com senior NFL writer: History shows that coach Andy Reid usually prefers big guys, offensive and defensive linemen, early in the draft. But there aren't any value picks here on either side of the line, unless the Eagles make a bit of a reach for Ohio State center Nick Mangold. Eagles need to upgrade at linebacker and Sims lends plenty of speed to defense.

Oh k.  Sure.

[reese125]

If the Jets dont take him--which I think they will--then its not laughable at all. Thats exactly where he will go IMO

[PhillyandBCEagles]

For those of you who think I hate on Greenway too much, I have him going #21 to the Pats in my latest mock.

That's fair, IMO.

I almost guarantee that the Pats will take Kiwi at 21 (as a LB) if he's available
