That's really awesome that the Eagles have the worst pick of any non playoff team.

[BigEd76]

Cleveland did (10-6)

[SD_Eagle5]

I was factoring in Dallas having their pick

[BigEd76]

Ray Rice is in

Steve Slaton is likely out


Update:  more names from today

Jack Ikegwuonu (Wisconsin DB)

Pat Sims (Auburn DT)
Jerod Mayo (Tennessee LB)

[BigEd76]

A player that would have helped the Eagles, Malcolm Jenkins (Ohio State CB), is going back to school for his senior year.

Meanwhile, McFadden and Jonathan Stewart both declared, so this will be a great draft for RBs

Gholston declared too, for those that want a DE

[Geowhizzer]

Great moments in sports analysis:

"What a terrible start for the Packers!"
