2 of the 3 say Mangold at 14? .....Why?

reese125 · April 28, 2006, 03:16:28 PM

because how we went out for Bentley

I think the Eagles are more likely to take Mangold than Sims, not that I would agree with that decision.

outside of a few highlites in these draft preview shows im not going to pretend having ever seen mangold play a single down of football....but good lord would he be a disasterous choice at 14

No center has been drafted in the first round in over a decade. Mangold is NOT that good.

I don't think going after Bentley necessarily means that they really want a center. I mean, who wouldn't want Bentley on their line? He's a frickin stud. So of course the Eagles would be interested. It doesn't mean that center is their #1 want right now.

I read that somewhere today and blindly believed it.

Patt...2 more bad posts, your out.

PoopyfaceMcGee · April 28, 2006, 03:38:13 PM

I guess I shouldn't say that I absolutely agree with Philly Forever's last post then, even though I do.

ice grillin you · April 28, 2006, 03:43:41 PM

in the last 30 years the highest a center has been taken is...yup....#14

and the Eagles eventually ended up with him at Center.

PoopyfaceMcGee · April 28, 2006, 03:59:42 PM

And he sucked for the Eagles too.

Man, can you imagine the draft party at The Linc if they end up taking Greenway, Mangold or some other stiff?

I hope Spadaro has a bulletproof vest handy.

Eagles | Trying to move up higher in NFL Draft
Fri, 28 Apr 2006 13:05:19 -0700

ESPN.com's John Clayton reports the Philadelphia Eagles are trying to trade to the No. 8 or No. 9 spot in the first round of the NFL Draft to select Florida State DT Brodrick Bunkley or Oregon DT Haloti Ngata. The Eagles aren't offering enough to get the Bills to give up the defensive tackle that fits their needs, Bunkley. If the price is right, though, the Bills could move from No. 8 to No. 14 and be able to get USC OT Winston Justice. The Eagles might have better success with the Lions, who have the ninth overall pick, but that would cost the Lions the player they want to draft.
