Sanu just went, I would have liked him. Eagles have no depth after Avant (unless you're a Riley Cooper guy) and need a redzone receiver or TE.

marvin mcnutt probably in the 4th or 5th would be a good red zone guy to get

i dont want depth behind avant...i want avants replacement

Kudos to Ike

Would have taken a CB or OL here and waited till the 4th to take a QB but whatever I'm not complaining.

[Feva]

There's the bullshtein pick we were all waiting for...

[General_Failure]

He's not short or Samoan. I'm very disappointed.

Did Cousins and Weeded go yet? I haven't seen. I know Osweiler did.

I don't like the QB pick here. Probably their thinking is they want to develop someone who can come in and hold the fort for a few games for Vick when he gets injured, if they keep him. Same as when they took Kolb to cover for McNabb except Kolb could also be the heir apparent. Obviously they don't think Kafka will be that guy.

you cant take a qb here to be a back up or to spell vick if he gets hurt....thats what FA qb's are for

you have to think he is your future and i believe this is what the eagles thinking is....if that turns out to be the case and foles is a top 10/12 qb in the nfl three or four years from now then awesome pick...but vick is the guy they have bet the superbowl on....so if thats the case why not pick someone there that can help the team this and next year while you are clearly trying to make a run with vick

Weeden went 1st round...Cousins still on the board

Who was there to help them next year?  They have every starter and every backup accounted for at this point.

boykin would have immediately upgraded the slot cb position

ty hilton would have added a great weapon in the slot on offense

orson charles is a vernon davis type te that would have created big time match up problems

lamar miller would have been a perfect big play back up to shady

nick foles will be their starter in two three years
