'MURCA!

The Juggler

so can we agree that trading up for a receiver is probably not the best idea?

i'm hoping for defense with the first pick...fuller, pryer, or barr--be happy with any of them as we need help at all 3 spots. if best player available is wideout (like a marquis lee or somebody)--then take him. just such a deep draft at that position. i'm not buying all the trade up stories.

wouldn't be opposed to a trade down though. we need the extra picks.

also--they gotta find a dance partner to movie graham or curry....

Dan Baker is awesome. Whoever replaces him is a downgrade.

Hate this move.

Mayock mocks Ha Ha. So, we'd have Dix, Cox Johnson and Peters! We'd need to bring Wang back. This extra time is awful and they're talking about moving it to later in May, Ugh! I'm getting a little tired of NFL 24/7/365. It's getting as bad as youth sports that want your kid to just play one sport all year long.

thought of you guys this past saturday. went to bet the Derby and saw a guy in a Koy Detmer jersey. yes koy fucking detmer. we all literally laughed out loud when the guy walked past us.

so what is worse, having a koy detmer jersey or wearing it out in public almost a decade since his last appearance with the Eagles?

what's the protocol for the draft for you guys? do you get the jersey out? if so how are you going old school maybe Dawkins? old old school and Randall in the Kelly Green? new school McCoy or Foles? is it a tough choice for you guys on which one to wear? seriously i'm curious if you guys pull out the jersey for this.

I need to rearrange my jersey inventory. Jackson has to go to the back with T.O. now. Only active players I have are Maclin, Cole and McCoy(#29). I may be done buying jerseys and just stick to shirseys now.

Ha ha......get it... Hahahhaha

I'm glad they drafted a D-man, though i don't know shit about him>LOL!!

They definitely wanted Dix or Cooks, and they I think they got fucked up and didn't know what to do - should've just traded down again.

Good amount of dudes in the 1st round went that I wouldn't say should've went any earlier than the 2nd. Was hoping Buchanan might've still been there in the 2nd.

the best thing about the draft is listening to people who have seen a guy play maybe 3 or 4 times spew how they should have been drafted higher or lower. classic stuff.

Yeah I loved the trade down...the Saints trade screwed them. But at least we got another pick and a 3rd is good value. And I bet they were looking for another team to trade down again but nobody wanted to dance?

Either way, they need someone to replace Cole so...we'll see. This guy migh be rough around the edges but gets to the qb.

I want Latimer tonight. He could be a beast...

The Juggler

lets get ourselves a couple or a few players tonight boys....

Chuckin it deep y'all!

seems the national guys like what the eagles did. not like we'll know for a couple years anyway though. for what it's worth kiper thought the birds had one of the better drafts. here's his take--


Philadelphia Eagles: B+

Top needs: OLB, S, CB, WR

Needs: B+
Value: B

Summary: The Eagles did a solid job of adding talent and hitting needs, making up for one questionable decision early with a number of solid ones down the board. Philadelphia moved down and then selected Marcus Smith, the No. 85-ranked player on my board. But while I didn't love the value, again, it came after the Eagles had moved down and accrued a little value. And he hits a need, because they're too reliant on Trent Cole as a pass-rusher and Smith can turn the corner and provide some pressure. The only receivers Philly has under contract past next season are Riley Cooper, Jeff Maehl and Jeremy Maclin (who is coming back from an ACL injury). The Eagles don't just need receivers, they need projectable players that can help soon. I thought Jordan Matthews would have made sense at No. 22, much less 42. I love that pick. Josh Huff offers underrated after-the-catch explosiveness -- he had 24 catches of 20-plus yards in 2013 -- has obvious familiarity with Kelly's methods and he's a guy who really competes and makes contested catches. Jaylen Watkins is a good value in Round 3, and was the first Florida CB off the board in a year where they have a few decent ones. Ed Reynolds is a player I thought could have been a second-round type had he stayed at Stanford another year, but he can give the Eagles a future potential starter and really anticipates well. Taylor Hart is another guy Kelly knows well, and could help the pass rush at some point. The Smith value was iffy, but I understand it, and they did a solid job thereafter.

If we drafted our 2nd rd pick in the 1st rd. And our 1st rd pick in the 2nd, no one would be bitching. If we flip flopped are 3rd and 4th rd picks,no one would be bitching. We got what we got and we won't know if there any good until they play. I hate these so called GRADES so called experts make up.
