1.26: Who Should Philadelphia Eagles Take? (1 Viewer)

I would love to see the Birds get Griffin, Beason, or Meriweather. I am happy with their corners however their safeties should be a major concern looking into the future. I love BDawk but he cant play for ever.

I just won an authentic full-sized Eagle helmet signed by BDawk last weekend.
But anyway, I keep hearing rumblings that the Eagles will move Sheldon Brown to S to replace Dawkins. If that's the case, I'd look for them to go CB in round 1, or at least a guy who can play both S-CB. They are really thin at the CB position.I have my doubts that they will go LB in the first. I like what Gaither did last year. Plus Spikes is a nice addition and they really want to see what Gocong can do. If he flames out this year, I wouldn't be surprised if they went LB first next year.

I don't like Nelson much myself, but this should be the list.

Congrats on the Dawk helmet.I'm having a hard time seeing a LB in the first as well unless they make some other move to get a high second round pick. They've put a lot of attention into the LB position already this off-season, and I just can't see spending a high round pick there. Safety or corner makes a lot more sense, with RB an outside possibility (but far more likely in the second or third).

I would be disappointed with Weddle at 26th; because I think the Eagles could get him later.
At the end of the day, much to my fellow Eagles chagrin, I think there's a very good chance we trade out of the 1st round. We don't have a lot of picks, and Reid generally values 2nd day picks to use as leverage to move around. We don't have a 4th rounder this year; so I think he's going to trade down out of the 1st if there's interest to give himself another 3rd or 4th rounder.

Beason doesn't excite me, but I'm all for linebacker help.

In the SI mock draft they have the Eagles getting the corner back or safety out of Florida (name escapes me). He won't drop that far, right??

Weddle would be a reach and they can probably get him in the 2nd. LB is unlikely and I have also heard the talk of Sheldon moving to S So a CB or S seems most likely. Would love Nelson or Griffin. Don't see Merriweather as a Reid guy however.And I've heard way too much negative assement of Houston to want him as the 1st rd CB.I would prefer a LB (Timmons would be my call, or Poz if he is still there).I would not be even slightly suprised if the took a DE here either

While I agree that this has been part of their M.O., the team has less "needs" then in the recent past. I could just as easily see them packaging later picks together to obtain an extra pick in the late first/early second, going more for "quality" this year instead of "quantity".Jason Wood said:

But next year the pick will be all the way down at #32.
Jason Wood

Perhaps, but the team's greatest "need" is actually depth. The starters are virtually set; there will be very few camp battles for the starting lineups barring injury. Depth is best addressed by having more picks, versus trading up for one guy IMHO.But Reid has proven willing to be aggressive if there's someone they covet. He moved up aggressively to draft Jerome McDougle and then did the same for Shawn Andrews.

The person I know who works in the Philly FO says DE or CB. He also said that if they go S, they'll trade down to do it. He couldn't give actual names though....Slider said:

I could agree with this but it would depend on if someone starts to plummet.I think Merriweather's character issues could make him fall out of the 1st.

I will be praying to baby Jesus that they don't take J.Moss DE. I can bench press more then this cat and I sure as hell wont be playing against NFL OT's for the next 10 years, then again I dont think he will be either.Slider said:

DE at 26? Or DE only if they can trade up?I have a strong feeling Chris Houston will be the pick if they stay at 26.
Deranged Hermit

Nope, they have a DE they like that could be at 26. Again, he couldn't say who, but I joked that I hoped it wasn't Mike Mamula's son or something.He gave me the feeling there were some CB's they liked better than the DE though.

Not sure if he is the one, but Anthony Spencer seems to be an Eagles kind of DE. Somewhat undersized but a mean pass rusher with a nice upside by all accounts. Probably will be there near the end of rd 1.
I''m getting the feeling they like Spencer too...and they do like to draft linemen in the first round...coincidence that the news recently came out that Kearse is almost 100%? highly doubtful.
I've heard that they don't like Griffin as they see him as a Michael Lewis type of player and that they love Merriweather's game. Whether they take the risk of drafting a guy with that baggage is certainly a huge Q. Maybe if he falls into the 2nd round...like someone else suggested.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see them trade down a few spots. If Atlanta doesn't move up to get Calvin Johnson, they would be a great candidate to trade with - they have 2 early 2nd round picks to work with and Rich McKay likes to deal...

Why doubtful? His injury was over 7 months ago. Carson Palmer proved they are 8 month injures nowadays.

Brian Leonard - He would give them lots of flexibility to use Westbrook all over the field and he is the most verisitable back in the draft
I am not doubting the fact he is almost healthy - just cynical as to any news that comes out leading up to the draft

That wouldn't happen to be the Rutgers "R" in your avatar, would it?

Well that is certainly understandable.

I know for a fact they like Leonard, but they are doubtful they'll get him in the second. If he falls within 10 spots or so of their 2nd round pick, we could see the them trade up.

I cant imagine he lasts that long in the 2nd roundWhile I woild love to see him go in the 1st, real;istically I think he is an early 2nd round

Actually the Birds don't have a lot of leverage to trade up this year. No supplemental picks and no 4th rounder. If anything, they will trade DOWN. In fact, as I said earlier in this thread, I would be very unsurprised if the Birds trade out of the 1st round completely and look toward value in the 2nd and 3rd. Leonard is definitely a possibility in the 2nd under that scenario. I don't think he's a 1st rounder in anyone's eyes.Deranged Hermit said:

I've searched this thread a few times and I can't find Kevin Kolb's name.

Damn, you gotta give me props for figuring out the Eagles were going to trade out of the 1st round. But had I known it was because they coveted Kolb, I would've been MUCH happier to have been dead wrong.
