3 picks away.... Carimi?

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Hmmmm....Peterson to Zona??????

[Bigboy10182000]

3 picks away.... Carimi?

Or a trade back...

 

[zadok]

Jimmy Smith

DaQuan Bowers

Castanzo/Sharrod/Carimi/Watkins

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Jimmy Smith has past troubles I'd be shocked if we pick him. Williams would be here before him IMHO

 

[zadok]

There is no way they pass on Bowers unless they took him off their board for his knee. Cameron Jordan?

 

[JAA]

DaQuan Bowers ... it has to be. It cant be Smith

 

[Please See Mine]

DANNY WATKINS

 

[bighandsray]

I would have preferred Defense.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Can't say this is a shocker....

 

[bighandsray]

Can't say this is a shocker....

Is he a tackle or a guard?

 

[Bigboy10182000]

A 27 years old rookie center

Eff this team

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Maybe we can draft his future replacement in the second round

 

[zadok]

Guard. Gotta protect Vick.

 

[JAA]

We will regret not taking DaQuan Bowers

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Played tackle in college, may get pushed inside to guard. He's got decent size 6-4, 310.

 

[Mighty Mice]

Watkins starts immediately at Guard. He's a good selection IMO. The line needed some love.

 

[JAA]

Guard. Gotta protect Vick.

I believe this is the highest selected Guard EVER

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

We will regret not taking DaQuan Bowers

I doubt that

 

[Bigboy10182000]

He has to start AND be GOOD from day 1

 

[delusional]

...........

 

[JaxBill]

Well, he has to be able to fight better than Carcillo.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Canadian Rugby and hockey player.

I'll go ahead and nickname him already.

Danny "Ice Road Grader" Watkins.

 

[JAA]

We will regret not taking DaQuan Bowers

I doubt that

Why is that?

 

[bighandsray]

Maybe we can draft his future replacement in the second round

well done sir, well done.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

He's only played football for 4 years...ever

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

How about trading Kolb for a 2012 first, then using that pick to get CB Janoris Jenkins in the supplemental draft? Everything I've read says he's a first-round caliber talent. Would be a way to get value for Kolb that can help us this year.

Or trade Kolb for a 2012 first and trade that for a 2011 2nd

 

[bighandsray]

J Peters LT

Herremans LG

J Jackson C

M McGlynn RG?

Watkins RT?

Just heard AR say he thinks he will play guard may shuffle things around. Might mean Herremans moves to R Tackle.

 

[Bushead]

Hmmmm....Peterson to Zona??????

Could also sign Asomugha tomorrow morning, no?

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

We will regret not taking DaQuan Bowers

I doubt that

Why is that?

Because everything I've heard/read/seen is that Bowers will be lucky to last 3 years with his knee.

 

[Mighty Mice]

Highest selected Gaurd ever? Pouncey beat him about an hour ago. So there's at least one. Anywho, Watkins in tough and athletic. He was a fireman in British Columbia for 4 years after high school. And I've never heard of a big fire in British Columbia. Ever.

He's a tough SOB with a first round grade. We need one of those since Runyon retired.

 

[zadok]

I prefer Watkins to any of the Tackles left. Still need a CB though.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Reading more on Carimi vs. Watkins - Carimi is the better run blocker, while Watkins is considered the better pass blocker. FWIW.

 

[JaxBill]

Guard. Gotta protect Vick.

I believe this is the highest selected Guard EVER

Or since Iupati went 17 to SF last year.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

From the draft thread:

Watkins is older and is Canadian, Baylor had an assistant coach who had ties to Canada whose name escapes me. I remember when they recruited him they thought they had a diamond in the rough and he proved to be so. Baylor hardly ever has great offensive lineman(Jason Smith the exception) but Watkins is athletic and versatile enough to play any position on the line. I was always impressed with his run blocking ability and actually think he would be a better guard in the NFL than tackle. I think Philly will try him at tackle and he's athletic enough and definitely used to an athletic QB in Robert Griffin who is faster than Vick at this point. Fellow players and coaches always talked about his intelligence and when I've heard him in interview I was always impressed with how bright he was, intelligence is definitely something you can't under-value in an offensive lineman and I think he'll pick the system up quick and be a consistent player that will prove to be a good pick for Philly.

Thanks a ton for your assessment. Great posting.

The OP watched him a ton at college

 

[zadok]

This is only the 2nd OLine 1st rounder in Reids tenure. Andrews was a total stud; when sane.

 

[Fire the Fat Man]

Horrible pick. What else is new. Fat man needs to go. and what does a fireman have to do with playing in the NFL? I know, absolutely nothing!!!!

I am done. They will never win with the Fat Man involved with this team

 

[Fire the Fat Man]

This is only the 2nd OLine 1st rounder in Reids tenure. Andrews was a total stud; when sane.

But the pick ended up being a total fail

 

[fflmonster]

Where is DH?

Was this the guy they targeted? Did they try to move up for prince?

 

[JaxBill]

Thought this was an interesting post from Senior Bowl time, talking about Watkins and the type of guards the Eagles like

Jimmy smith will end up a star now

Yeah, multiple pro bowls, all pro, what a fail. Obviously it would be great if he never flaked out. Quit trolling.

If he's not suspended

Your first round pick plays 3 seasons when he should have played for like 8, yup that is a fail. no trolling here. You just can't handle the truth

Nope. I still have my job

 

[fflmonster]

Unless he is our starting center day one this was a HUGE mistake.

Jackson can't be counted on and mcglynn is expected to move to guard this year.

THERE IS NO WAY THIS GUY AT 6'3 CAN PLAY TACKLE.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

He has to basically be Pouncy from Pittsburgh for this to be a good move.

He'll be 27, yes.... 27.

Dont worry alot of fan and such will burn their brain trying to explain how this is a good pick.2nd round pick? maybewho am i kidding, a 27 year old should not be a 1st round pick at all for the shear fact you are losing 4-5 years of potential playing time.
