Cold Pizza mock has the Eagles taking Chad Jackson with their 14th pick.

I farging hate mocks who have the Eagles selecting Chad Jackson. They pay no attention to the team at all, except to say, "Hey, they lost T.O, they must want only to get a WR in the first." Tards. The whole lot of them.

Is it because you dont like the guy and dont wont to see him picked, or you might think they might actually take him. Although we need help on both sides of the lines, and it has been stated, it wouldnt surprise me at all if they take the best WR on the board. Its all about how the chips fall in the draft

I was initially on that bandwagon but now I would rather see them go for a receiver in the second or third round.

No, it's just that most of them, when you read the little blurb for the Eagles pick says something like, "With the loss of T.O, the Eagles need another big play reciever, and SoAndSo is the answer." Like any of the rookies the mocks have us picking can come in and replace the production of a guy like T.O. It's retarded, and they obviously do zero research into how the team picks, or what the other needs are.

i dont think theres anything wrong with saying the eagles need to draft a wr since they lost TO...i mean the wr's are atrocious...the idiotic part is them thinking that reid is actually going to do it...so if they are saying thats what they will do then yes its retarded...if they are saying its what they should do then you cant hate

I hear ya Phan. What you say makes a lot of sense. These guy aren'tloking to make a nuanced analysis just picking the low hanging fruit that they think most people will find justified so that they can keep and mainain their unjustifiably large paychecks.

Yeah but IGY as they say opinions are like arse-holes everybody has one.

These guys are supposed to be professionals. They should be giving a well thought out analysis and as accurate a prediction as possible. Why else do we need them if not? I think we do as good a job right here if that's the case.

a friggin monkey could tell you the eagles badly need a wr

reese125 · April 28, 2006, 09:51:25 AM

u guys are overanalyzing this bigtime. All that is being said by reports is that we need to fill a void left at WR because of what the Eagles are left with, not a replacement for TO as far as his talent level. They are right: we need help and Jackson could very well do that. Thats all

Exacty my point IGY...they are picking the low hanging fruit and saying here's a need, here's a guy the Eagles could pick to fill it.

Everybody accross the nation knows what TO did here and what he didn't. Nobody knows what Hollis Thomas did or didn't do or much less Sam Rayburn.

Anybody that knows Reid and the way this organization does things knows that they will build from the inside out. Therefore, a more likely pick to call for the
Eagles is the best lineman available at that pick.

PoopyfaceMcGee · April 28, 2006, 11:08:48 AM

Rich Hoffman makes a good point in his article today, though. The Eagles are unlikely to go WR in first round, because that would be a pick that would theoretically help in the future a lot more than it would now. However, picking on either of the lines or at LB would probably be a player that would be plugged in to the starting lineup or at least compete for a starting job right away.

If they go RB, DB, or WR in the first round, that means they aren't trying to win this year.

where would Winston Justice line up this year im wondering.

LG competition with wost manneans. The loser becomes the 6th/swing man at both OT positions and possibly both OG positions. I believe if the Eagles are targeting Justice, they would probably give him every opportunity to win the LG spot.

Or maybe Tra isn't nearly as healthy as we're all led to believe.
