Trent Cole actually played pretty well as a rookie last year at the DE spot so that area isn't as bad as it may seem.This would be a better fit for Bunkley or Bobby Carpenter.
Cole lined up at DE over Kalu last year and did very well.
He is the best available player at this point, imo.
Westbrook's injury was NOT a lis franc, though.Looks like the pick is trending to Bobby Carpenter, which I think makes a lot of sense
Either way, I'm cool, but a 45 minute break sounds good. I have calls on hold.
After (quickly) reviewing the options, DT is more of a need than DE.Therefore, Bunkley.I second.
Bunkley went #12 to Cleveland.After (quickly) reviewing the options, DT is more of a need than DE.Therefore, Bunkley.
I'll be shocked if Carpenter goes before Greenway.
You're aces and don't let anyone tell you different.Either way, I'm cool, but a 45 minute break sounds good. I have calls on hold.
Me too. Too much is being made of Greenway's combine performance, IMO. He'll fare much better at his Pro Day and will go before Carpenter. I think he's the only LB I would consider here.
Scratch Jackson. No way a WR in the first round. Eagles have drafted a WR in first two rounds for a few years now (Reggie Brown, Freddie Mitchell, Pinkston I believe) with limited success.Williams is a possibility, but not with Westbrook and Moats and other issues.Either way, I'm cool, but a 45 minute break sounds good. I have calls on hold.
After Greenway's combine performance? I wouldn't.But for the purposes of this exercise, I would agree with Greenway.
Sorry about that....Greenway or Hali then.Bunkley went #12 to Cleveland.After (quickly) reviewing the options, DT is more of a need than DE.Therefore, Bunkley.
A classic case of overvaluing the combine. Greenway was studly at the Senior Bowl. Everyone fell in love with him, great leader, great intangibles, great football instincts. He's got the size to get much stronger, and he plays extremely fast on film. Game speed > clock speed. Damage done, but not horrible.
Are you saying I'm overvaluing the combine or that teams overvalue the combine.I'm saying that Greenway would be the better pick, but some teams (especially the Mamula picking Eagles) may question their combine notes.
Mike Mamula down?
just beat me to it.
:dunno: what the heck I'm saying, other than I don't think the combine dropped Chad below Bobby. Carpenter didn't work out. Maybe Ryans moves ahead of Chad?

Good, it was between him and Greenway.How about Atlanta? They could really use a safety, but who is value here? Whitner and Cromartie are possibilities, if they want to convert the latter. Anyone think they cut Dunn and take DeAngelo Williams to take his spot?
I hear a lot of rumor that Dunn is going to be cut, and I just don't think Duckett is a fit for that offense even if he is back.
Good call. Bloom would approve (even though he actually recommended Hali to Atlanta!!).
Um... Falcons.
I agree. Maybe we should rethink this section a little. Kearse and Cole spelled by an occassional pass rush from Kalu... DE not a priority. Hali sort of messing up our corraborative uber mock. OLB a better pick, but we were undecided between a couple. What about Ryans there?I would think Atlanta may move up if they get the sense that Philly would take Hali (I really don't see that pick, but who knows?)Good call. Bloom would approve (even though he actually recommended Hali to Atlanta!!).
I saw more of Greenway and liked what I saw.Could be convinced otherwise without much arm-twisting.I agree. Maybe we should rethink this section a little.

Now we're getting somewhere.
DeMeco Ryans is another guy that looks so-so on paper but lights out on the field. I'd like to see him as a Viking, but I doubt I will.
The Eagles BADLY need a pass rush. Their whole Defensive scheme is predicated upon getting a good pass rush to help their secondary. They couldn't get to the QB to save their life last year and that's why their defense was exposed the way it was. Also, the Eagles over the years have constantly devalued two positions: WR and LB. I don't think they take a LB with this pick unless they trade up to get an elite talent like Hawk.I agree. Maybe we should rethink this section a little.
