    An old fat slob coming off a late season Achilles injury? No thanks.

    An old fat, LARGE, slob that clogs up the middle and by accident could still warrant two blockers? No, thank you very much.

    They gave away a pick (in the deepest draft of decade) for one year of diminishing returns on a 30 year 3rd down RB. LIke someone else mentioned, he's not a great returner. I just think they wasted an asset...and in doing so haven't filled any of their many key needs.

    They still have plenty of picks, and the way it goes now the offense won't see a lot of those picks. I think you're just overvaluing a superfluous pick. It deep in certain positions, but not everywhere. They added a weapon that you can't even see how he's used until September. You can't get any more spread than Maclin, Jackson, McCoy, Ertz, Sproles. I'll take these 5 weapons on the field all at the same time than any other combination on this roster (fuck Cooper), possibly over any other team in the league at that, especially with a patient QB like Foles.

    Offense is set, CB is set, need a pass rusher, another safety, NT. I think they can still address all of this perfectly fine with what they have in the draft, along with free agency.

    They only have 6 picks in a deep draft. Those picks are valuable. I think sproles is an unnecessary luxury. Probably could have picked a guy like deanthony thomas in the 5th round and he could have more value than sproles does this year, depending on where he ends up.

    not saying sproles sucks, he will play a role. just not the guy he used to be. I wouldn't have given away a fifth for one year of a 31 year old third down back..

    also, I def don't think they are set at corner. If you look at the roster every defensive position needs an upgrade

    1- sproles is not just a 3rd down back. i think he will be used more as a receiver than as a running back, maybe in the slot with avant gone. maybe line both him and shady in the backfield. the eagles will have a ton of match up advantages with him next year. he'll be on the field way more than some run of the mil 3rd down back. sure he's lost a step but he was one of the most productive pass catching rb's in the entire league last year. the fact that he isn't used as much as an rb kind of makes him a "young" 31 too.

    2- they gave up their extra 5th rounder. so they basically traded isaac sopoanga for darren sproles--i will do that any day of the week.

    3- this team loves having an abundance of draft picks. they have made a re commitment to build this team through the draft the last couple years so there's not a doubt in my mind that they only make 6 selections. they've got a bunch of chips right now in curry, graham, one of the rb's and demarious johnson. for comparison's sake, andy reid also only has 6 picks right now with kc, but we all know he will trade down or something to acquire another pick or two. it is still sooo early...

    4- you think all 11 players need to upgraded on defense? they certainly need a few but there is plenty of time to make that happen.

    mr roseman is just getting started here.

    But seriously - how is Calvin Pryor gonna be there at the 22nd pick? I just don't see it.

    Don't worry, we'll be trading up to get a D lineman.

    They've done this before and we've seen how that worked out. I think there's some solid value in the 2nd/3rd rounds with OLD/DEs that could be had.

    I'd go 1) Pryor 2) Benjamin, if both are there at the time. And if I'm trading up, I'm trading up for Pryor because I just don't see how he's there at 22.

    Just take the best player available. There are still 6 weeks before the draft. i'm sure there will be more changes to the roster that may sway the pick slightly.

    He was the odd man out even without Sproles imo. Polk took the #2 last yr down the stretch.

    Sounds like they're bringing back Allen at safety...which I'm ok with for depth. It's looking like Benjamin at 22 is becoming more and more of a possibility.

    He was better last year than than the previous two. I think he'd be even better if the other safety wasn't a pile of poop like Chung or Coleman.

    Let him battle with Wolf and whoever they draft in camp...it might still be Pryor if they think he is bpa
